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.

Their experience spanned music genres, from classical, experimental, art rock, and jazz. All before the year 1970.
