Thereminist Carolina Eyck shared her arrangement of Duke Ellington’s jazz standard In A Sentimental Mood, for theremin and voice.
“I’ve long loved this piece,” notes Eyck, “and this intimate rendition gave me the chance to explore new shades and textures in its timeless melody.”
Host Ziv Eliraz – in his latest loopop video – takes a look at 6 options for gestural music making.
Gestural music making has been around for more than 100 years, since the introduction of the theremin in 1920. In that time, dozens of gestural music making options have been introduced.
While none of them have achieved the recognition of the theremin, there are a wide range of options, offering both new capabilities for expression, and compatibility with a wide range of electronic music hardware and software.

The Stylophone Theremin builds on the original Stylophone design, being battery powered featuring simple sound controls. It adds an antenna for pitch control, but unlike traditional theremins, uses a trigger with envelope for volume.
The instrument also features a slider for precise note control, delay and vibrato effects, octave control, and various tone options.
