AETHERPHON, global theremin family

I have over 300 that I shot. You're welcome to use all of them, but be 
prepared for some HUGE emails.

I need to get home and access the computer for this...

Philip

How about posting them to something like Flickr?

Most of all I hope more folks can post their experiences and impressions.
I'm trying very hard not to feel old and bitter about missing it.

Thanks Philip, I'm so happy it went well and it all worked!

OK, I'll upload them to flickr when I get home!

Philip

BTW, thanks for this idea. I knew Flickr was out there but really 
didn't make the connection in my mind. 

I've got some GOOD ones of all the celebs, including our own Kevin 
Kissinger.

Is it okay to post these as they are celebs?

Philip Neidlinger

Please don't be bitter, John. 

I've never been to this event or even met another thereminist. It 
was  the best trip me and Sheri have had together since our 
honeymoon. 

Sheri had about 10 minutes of one on one time with Lydia on Sunday.
I wonder if Sheri was talking about her crazy theremin-making 
husband? I didn't interrupt and stood off well to the side as I 
figured it was probably girl talk and the dynamics of the chat would 
have radically changed if I had walked over and stood next to her.

My biggest and proudest moment was the praise Gabby received from 
Lydia, both on her appearance and "she sounds nice". I have worked so 
hard on this theremin over the past year and I have literally poured 
the best of my engineering skills and my soul into it. To have it 
come out less than it did would have broken my heart.

Damn, I cry when I talk serious about this stuff. I guess I've got it 
in a bad way.

On preparing to leave our separate paths, I addressed several of the 
thereminists as "brother".

Regards

Philip Neidlinger

Been eavesdropping on Levnet....and the reviews of the concerts aren't 
good.

How does Flickr work?  Do we all have to have seperate accounts or  
will there be a shared Ethermusic account.  I looked and I already  
have a personal flickr account.  If someone can explain how this all  
works then I will upload my pics.

I don't know the legal answer to that... though you don't want to post  
video or audio recordings without the artists' approval.

That is the reason that I am not on Levnet.  I prefer to live in the  
possible delusion that my music is good rather than to buy into  
someone else's equally possible delusion that most theremin music,  
including mine, is bad.  (I say this without knowing of any of my  
performances were discussed there.)

I experienced many moments of pure joy at Etherfest.

I already look forward to future Etherfest events.

All the best to one and all!

Frankly I have to disagree. Between some negative comments I also read nice things 
and even high praise on Levnet for some of the concerts performances, written by some 
of the most critical people who even only saw the concert on the internet.
I wish people would go to Levnet, read for themselves and draw their own conclusions.

greetings,
Jessica

The "celebs" at Hands Off were OK with having photos posted.

I concur, and note that one particularly critical person was  
especially impressed by Kevin Kissinger.

 From what I have seen of the concerts it is quite obvious that you  
all had a completely brilliant time and there were some outstanding  
performances, and even the not-quite-so-outstanding performances were  
still darned good.

I hope that some of you were so enthused by the experience that  
you'll want to do it all again -- in which case I'll see you in  
Lippstadt.

Gordon

Kevin

I like your music. I liked it before I met you. 

Lets just say that some of the comments were over the top. No names 
being mentioned, of course.

Thank you for passing this on, Gordon -- glad to hear that my concert  
impressed some people -- even some critical folks.

I didn't get to finish my set -- in fact, only got through two songs  
before my equipment started to go flakey on me.  Fortunately, before  
my set, Jason Danillo with Moog Music gave a "sneak preview" of their  
new product: "The Moog Guitar".  So, I asked if Jason would join me on  
stage for an improv.  I plugged my theremin into a d/i box, Jason  
plugged in, another of Jason's band members joined in on sax -- and we  
improvised a kind of sweet, spacy number that lasted 10-15 minutes (we  
just stopped when it felt "right").  I was fortunate that these  
excellent musicians were willing to jump in and save the show!

I felt really disappointed and frustrated when I went back to my room  
-- so much preparation went into this and to have an equipment failure  
was hard to bear.  The next day, I was overwhelmed with the outpouring  
of support from everyone.  Folks liked my prepared works however they  
seemed to be moved by the impromptu improv done on the fly.

The organizers felt for me, too.  I was able to reconfigure my  
equipment and they gave me a slot on Saturday to perform "Mummies and  
Unholy Ghosts".

The concerts were all very enjoyable.  The level of ingenuity and  
musicianship was high.  And, there were moments of exquisite beauty.   
One performance in particular brought me to tears. I managed to dry my  
eyes and regain composure by the time the show ended and the house  
lights came up.

Music breaks down barriers and can fill the soul.  I left Asheville  
with many new friends, great memories, and fresh inspiration.

I wish you all could have been there.

-- Kevin

I tend to not read Levnet anymore.  Any merit to the criticisms, or more 
along the lines of "I don't get it, it must be crap"?

Later theremineers!

Keep your nose to the ether and your pitch antenna to yourself.

I'll be in san fran this summer, so if you are in the area, you may want to invest in some good earplugs.

arf arf! Woof woof.
