Description


Forgotten Instruments: The Grand Theremin An instrument of the electroacoustic variety, the enigmatic Grand Theremin was a hybrid of the theremin and harp. Its draw lay in its almost magical sound: a cross between a viola and a woman's voice, with many different inflections depending on how the instrument was played. The player could play the instrument in a number of different ways, including striking his hands on the chimes, or by hovering over them--plucking music "out of the ether," as it were. Despite its mesmerising sound, the Theremin was eventually retired because its music was unconventional, considered either too progressive or too ancient. --Modeled in AC3D, textured and rendered in Bryce, finished in Photoshop and a little no-brand program called Lights Effects. So, now it's officially a series.

Great concept and series! What a haunting sound it would produce (if it were real!) - cool!
