Theremin performer Anton Kershenko and his young pupil at Eupatoria Deep Space Communication Center. The First Theremin Concert for Extraterrestrials was the world's first musical METI broadcast dispatched from the Evpatoria deep-space communications complex in Crimea, [80] and was sent seven years before NASA's Across the Universe message ...
In the 1970s, Leon Theremin was a Professor of Physics at Moscow State University (Department of Acoustics) developing his inventions and supervising graduate students. After 51 years in the Soviet Union Theremin started traveling, first visiting France in June 1989 [ 2 ] and then the United States in 1991, each time accompanied by his daughter ...
The Thing was designed by Soviet Russian inventor Leon Theremin, [7] best known for his invention of the theremin, an electronic musical instrument. In Russian, the device is called Эндовибра́тор (endovibrator).

The third Rhythmicon constructed by Theremin. One of the original instruments built by Theremin wound up at Stanford University; the other stayed with Slonimsky, from whom it later passed to Schillinger and then the Smithsonian Institution. [9] This latter instrument is operational; its sound has been described as "percussive, almost drum-like ...
A number of instruments have been invented, designed, and made, that make sound from matter in its liquid state. This class of instruments is called hydraulophones. Hydraulophones use an incompressible fluid, such as water, as the initial sound-producing medium, and they may also use the hydraulic fluid as a user-interface.
Watching Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey is a curious experience. You begin with interest, and then you pass through the stages of curiosity, fascination and disbelief, until in the last 20 minutes, you arrive at a state of dumbfounded wonder. It is the kind of movie that requires a musical score only the Theremin possibly could supply.
