This woman is not just a theremin player. She's probably the best theremin player in the world. She literally invented the technique that she uses to play, wrote a book about it, and now everyone plays it the way she does. Amazing.

"Nobody is allowed to touch my instrument..not even me"

I think a Theremin VR game that shows notes distances would be a great way to learn the instrument.

Theremin is an invention of the Russian engineer Leo Theremin. Several years ago i saw in Moscow his great-grandson Peter Teremin. He is a composer and the theremin player too. Thank you for this video, best regards from Russia.

Her technique is so interesting. It looks like she's casting spells with her very precise hand movements.

I like to think that the theremin is just shy and it screams when you get too close to it

Me: what instrument do you play?
Her: The electromagnetic field.

This instrument is so magical. The way it sounds, the way it's played. What a crazy invention

Music teacher: Do not touch any of the instruments unless I tell you. Me on the Theremin:

I loved the part when she said “👌🏽🖖🏽👋🏽” sounded beautiful.

Man, talk about muscle memory. There is absolutely no tactile feedback at all with this instrument. To play accurately is 100% determined through your muscle memory and nothing else. It’s honestly amazing. She is really impressive.

This is the 1st time I was introduced to a theramin. She is amazing and I'm in awe, watching this beautiful woman make such beautiful music.

This is legit the coolest instrument I've ever heard of

Good thing it has only been around for about 100 years. Any earlier you would be on trial for witchcraft. Amazing instrument. Amazing musician.

Imagine how good she must be at taking videos and photos because she has such steady hands.

[nickwpx]

Incredible how the sound she uses sounds like a mix between strings and voice. She's insanely talented too. Great video!

[cadavher]

It blows my mind to think how someone even came up with this instrument idea, let alone watching someone master it and make it look so effortless.

[creatip]

It's almost 100 years old? Even today it looks like a scifi instrument from a distant

Who the hell created this and thought:
"That turned out EXACTLY as planned!"

[jasperlee]

idk why but the bit at 7:45 made me start tearing up? the music feels so peaceful and somehow nostalgic for something I haven't heard before. really makes you remember that music is a form of art haha
