I had a friend growing up, Bobby Mover, who was a Jazz musician. He had an OLD OLD tube theremin at his house and could play the Heck out of it. I was absolutely entranced by the machine. Having no musical talent myself, Halloween was the only time my sounds would be appropriate. I was thinking about him this weekend, and thought about his theremin. His idol was James Dean, I remember his posters, and he had a little sister named Joy.
As I remember, it had a horizontal bar for volume, and a circular large ring for frequency. Have often though of building one, but since I have ZERO musical talent, it would be a waste... When I studied Electronic Music in college (yeah, in 1973-5 and got a degree in it! Obviously did not require actual musical talent, we were studying Music Concret') I proposed that as an input device for our DEC PDP 11-10 computer and MOOG Model 1s, but never had the time to build it. Too busy partying, I suspect.
