FAQ About Influence of Theremin on Experimental Music
What is the theremin and how does it work?
The theremin is an electronic musical instrument that is played without physical contact. It was invented by Léon Theremin in 1920. The instrument consists of two metal antennas that sense the relative position of the player's hands, which control pitch and volume. By moving their hands in the electromagnetic fields surrounding the antennas, the performer can create distinct sound waves that vary in frequency and amplitude, allowing for unique musical expression.
