Theremin!

I know it’s only a week til my birthday now so I shouldn’t be buying anything, but I knew no-one would buy me this. For a start it was quite expensive, but I’ve wanted one for about 22 years now so it’s safe to say I’m going to love it.

It’s a Moog EtherWave. I am so excited! :oD I’ve wanted one for as long as I can remember. I’ve got 2 Stylophones that I was obsessed with when I was about 8 and this is going to be even more fun.

The way I look at it, it is very difficult to learn, but even if it takes me years to play it properly, at least it’s dead easy to make weird noises on it. :o)

Here’s a couple of videos if you have no idea what I’m talking about:
