Clara Rockmore CD

[Harry Bissell]

If you buy the Big Briar Etherwave Theremin, they throw in the CD for Free (an
a how-to video) FYI: this is how my wife saves money. Clara Rockmore is the
master of the art, for sure. I found the Theremin so hard to play (re
traditional scalar music) that I offer $50 to the person from the crowd who
can play a recognizable "Happy Birthday" when my band plays a gig. I have yet
to pay. :-)  Harry Bissell

I think a much better movie from this period with electronic sounds is
The Day the Earth Stood still. It stood out clearly as Science Fiction
amoung all the killer alien bug movies of the '50s. The person who did
the music is on the Theremin documentary ("Theremin: An Electronic
Odyssey" -1995  --- silly Brian Wilson for using the F*** word on the
documentary!)

BTW, I also have Clara Rockmore's CD The Art of the Theremin. Really
fantastic. I don't think anyone will ever be as good on an electronic
instrument as Rockmore.
