The First Time I Heard A Theremin,

it was in the soundtrack of a film,


this is one here, a Moog Etherwave Theremin as it happens,

 the film was that great sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet, I have always had a hankering for one, so if I see mention of one on the Internet I normally have a look, so when I heard of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" being played on 167 Matryomins, I just had to have a look, I should say a Matryomin is a “one antenna Theremin” which is inserted into a Matryoshika figure, 

and here it is, what a magical performance, especially the 'up-beat' tempo part, for the full story have a look here, as it happens I made a post about this way back in November 2014, the clip is doing the rounds again now!
