UNIQUE THEREMINS
I saw some strange theremins on eBay. There's an alien head, a large die (dice), a stoplight and several baby doll heads with glowing red eyes.

This particular little number is called a Baby Head XLPC (xtra large photo cell) Theremin Sci-Fi Synth Effects Digital and is to be used with an amp.

"Large photo cell installed on top of the theremin will pick up any existing light in the room and transform it into sounds that are out of this world." [via]

The theremin is the oldest electronic instrument, invented in 1919 by a young Russian scientist named Leon Theremin; today, Moog Music of Asheville is the largest manufacturer. The Orange Peel offers two public theremin concerts this weekend.


Asheville is the most logical place for such a convention because the theremin is manufactured here, says Lesley Groetsch, spokeswoman for
The Orange Peel.

The Orange Peel and Moog Music welcomes thereminists from around the world to join us for interactive workshops, stellar performances and thoughtful presentations from respected speakers. This should be a fun show. Didn't you get a theremin, weirdpixie?
