Twenty Thousand Hertz | The Theremin

Twenty Thousand Hertz | The Theremin

If you’ve ever watched an old sci-fi or horror film, you’ve probably heard the hair-tingling, alien sounds of the Theremin. It’s a spooky, strange instrument that’s played without being touched, and has become a staple for classic horror movies. This is the story of the Theremin’s mysterious journey. Featuring Thereminist Rob Schwimmer, Michelle Moog-Koussa, daughter of Bob Moog and Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, and Albert Glinsky, courtesy of Moog Music.

“Although I knew my father for the 37 years that we were here on Earth together, I never really knew his public persona, Bob Moog, until he passed away. The path of discovery that followed has provided a deep well of inspiration, which has lead me on a journey to carry on his powerful legacy transforming people’s lives through sonic exploration. Inspiration is a powerful cultural resource, and we must use it to do the most good for our challenged society.” – Michelle Moog-Koussa
