I did not know a theremin could do this.

The artist has a bunch of informational videos on how to play one, too. This is SO COOL.

@lilithsaintcrow A really good theremin player is always a delight. (Not to mention a near miracle).

@lilithsaintcrow And this one too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4794QLTvHdQ

@lilithsaintcrow That technique! I've gotten a chance to play around on a theramin, but never been able to get control like that -- the gesture techniques she's using seem like amazing ways to nail precise notes, (the vibrato, honestly, is the least impressive thing since the default setting on a theramin is vibrato; it's turning it off that's the hard part!)

@lilithsaintcrow Carolina Eyck! She's a theremin virtuoso, and is pretty much THE authority on the instrument, as she invented her method for mapping gestures to tones.

And I love her rendition of Ecstasy of Gold!

@lilithsaintcrow
She is super impressive!

Peter Theremin is also excellent and really lovely. I took lessons via Zoom from him.

Coralie Ehinger also plays excellently and helped tune the OpenTheremin design.

@lilithsaintcrow idk if a theremin can but she can. I’m pretty sure she nearly single-handedly pioneered this precise style

[agturcz@circumstances.run]

@lilithsaintcrow Oh. Wow.

@mneme @lilithsaintcrow
She explained her method to Rob Scallon

@lilithsaintcrow Carolina is the GOAT of theremin forever.

[doombunny@toot.wales]

@TCMuffin @lilithsaintcrow Using a tremolo to get the note separation is a stroke of genius, and the precision in hitting those notes every time is just amazing!

[javensbukan@mstdn.ca]

@lilithsaintcrow Okay, but actually this is amazing.
