The theremin, originally known as the ætherphone, etherphone, thereminophone[2] or termenvox/thereminvox) is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the performer (who is known as a thereminist). It is named after its inventor, Leon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928.

The instrument's controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which function not as radio antennas but rather as position sensors. Each antenna forms one half of a capacitor with each of the thereminist's hands as the other half of the capacitor. These antennas capacitively sense the relative position of the hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude (volume) with the other. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker.

The sound of the instrument is often associated with eerie situations. The theremin has been used in movie soundtracks such as Miklós Rózsa's Spellbound and The Lost Weekend, Bernard Herrmann's The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Justin Hurwitz's First Man, as well as in theme songs for television shows such as the ITV drama Midsomer Murders and the Disney+ series Loki, the latter composed by Natalie Holt. The theremin is also used in concert music (especially avant-garde and 20th- and 21st-century new music); for example, Mano Divina Giannone is a popular American thereminist who along with his orchestra, The Divine Hand Ensemble, regularly holds concerts. It is also used in popular music genres, such as rock.

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday!

Thank you to all those who asked after Freddie -he is very well in himself, and his tummy is improving, but he's still a little "irregular". We'll keep on with the GI food for a few more days

Dogged, you need a jar key for that lid. Cheap, and *very* easy to use!

I need to jump in the shower now, as I have another early start and a new route to church
through back roads (I'm not using the "official" diversion - too many points to get delayed, especially as more cars will be using those roads) due to the roadworks!

Good morning
Thanks for the start and the information, kittykatt. How did you discover a theremin for today or are you familiar with unusual instruments? Unusual to me at least. Good news on Freddie, how old is he?

Waving to Dogged.

Morning all. Interesting info about the instrument.

Kittykat I hope the drive is not too painful. Construction is trying.

Harriet I bet that instrument is an attraction.

Bama that looks like a list of one extra thing in each room? Good idea.

Helian I feel like it's the stress. You have your mom settled and the busy is calming but the high alert... I have to get more things done than there is time in the day. Or one demand after another that needs attention right now..and after it's past then the tired hits. Why am I stressed? It's past the demanding part? That's me anyway. I think as long as my demands for my time get fewer and farther between maybe I can recover? Be gentle with yourself and rest when your body tells you to. Advice for all of us.

Anyway now I need to get up. I had full intentions of a soak now and if I don't move I will run out of time.

Soak in tub instead of shower
Fold laundry put the rest away
Take my time and finish getting ready for work

Thursday
Cleaned up after dog
Put away clean laundry
Scrubbed out sink and basin
Washed dishes
Filled both cutlery holders for the dw. Even if it is mostly a cutlery washer, it has earned its place in my house and heart. I loath washing cutlery.
Wiped down/put away breadmaker
Wiped down/put away rice maker

Good morning, all. Thank you for starting us off, kittykatt. I had always believed that the original Star Trek theme was played on a theremin, but it turns out not.
I actually do have that jar key, which has been a wonderful addition to my life, giving me access to commercial jars of pickles and olives. My remaining issue is with homemade jars of food in mason jars. They are well armed against the jar key. They have a flat circle and then a ring that screws on, like this: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/pur- ... 0493p.html

Hi, Bama.

Woo hoo for flowers, helia. I see green grass; it gives me hope for flowers.

Oh, Harriet, that would be riveting. I wonder if the theremin player attracts new members to your church?

laurlind, I can so relate. I have far fewer demands on my time than you do, but I still feel that I am floundering in a sea of To Dos.

Gma, I am sorry. Hoping for the best for you all.
