AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Hello all,

Is anyone here in regular contact with Pamelia Kurstin?  She is #1 on my 
Most Wanted list but darned if I can get her to reply to my e-mails.  I 
know she's moved to Europe somewhere...maybe someone can hunt her up for me?

I would also like to contact Eri Ii and Yuki Yano, but I think there's a 
bit of a language barrier that has been preventing me from communicating 
effectively.  I'm hoping maybe my recent correspondences with Takeuchi 
Masami will facilitate this, but until then any assistance would be 
appreciated.

Finally, I've been rather anxious over this.....is it Takeuchi Masami or 
Masami Takeuchi?  And is he correctly addressed as Takeuchi-san (or 
-sensei) or otherwise?

Eep.  I'm so provincial.  :-(

I have passed your message on to the Brit who is organising Pamelia's  
tour of the UK, along with your email address.

(BTW - with regards to your request on Theremin World for new  
theremin music for your show, while I am not convinced that it is of  
sufficient standard for Spellbound, it has transpired from putting it  
on mySpace that at least a minority of people do enjoy it - well,  
either that or they are being polite - so you are welcome to any of  
my stuff that you want. The highest quality versions are available  
for download by  registered podcasters  on the podsafe music network  
at http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php? 
BandHash=284e09ee377733c6c309832ee6bcc804. )

hi Dave,
Also had same probs connecting with Pamelia - she is busy lady - try My
Spacing her - she logged in on 26/06 - think she's currently based in
Vienna, Austria, since her divorce.

I've always tried Babblefishing to have conversation with Japanese people
like Eri - although it has strange results...the ultimate in 'Chinese
Whispers'...

In English, his name is Masami Takeuchi (Masami is the first name, Takeuchi
the family name) - but in Japan the first/surname are the other way around.
So you would address him as Masami.  (mass-arm-me).  This clash-of-cultures
and altered meanings with the theremin we joked around with on the notorious
'Ether Disco' sketch in which Takeuchi (sic) addresses Miss Kavina as 'Mrs
Lydia, sir!'.

Yes, I am terrible and will be persecuted by belezebub on the other side...

Susi,

Your disco .mp3 is great!  Delightfully irreverant!  I love it!

Did you do all the voices?

To fellow list members, make sure you listen to the whole thing.

ROTFL!

:)

I just listened to this a second time.  This takes a few listenings to  
catch everything.  This is just too much over-the-top fun!

Forgive the double-post -- hope you enjoy Susi's offering as much as I  
am enjoying it.

Hi everyone.

I just read an article in Musicworks Magazine, which covers avant-garde 
music, about new compositions being done and concerts being played with a 
traditional Japanese instrument called ichigenkin.  This instrument is a 
zither with just one string, played by sliding a tube along the string 
and plucking, as is done with bottleneck guitar.

Here's a quote from the hereditary master of the main ichigen school in 
Japan, a hard-working young woman named Issui Minegishi.  It made me think 
of the theremin and wonder if and how much it applies to theremin playing. 
I'm not talking about the issues with the devilish difficulty to control 
our instrument, but what comes after or beyond that.  I'm not offering any 
conclusions, just think this quote is interesting to think about.

   "My great-great-grandfather, Tokuhiro Taimu, taught that the ichigenkin
    seems to be a simple instrument-- just a board with one string, nothing
    else-- yet it is very complex.  With only one string, it hides nothing.
    Every nuance of your soul is revealed.  It is almost like the voice of
    life itself.  If you can take the time to listen,  then the sound of
    every tree, rock, or cell can be heard within a single note."
