Soul-in-a-Box: The Theremin

A mysterious wooden podium is on the stage. It is gutted out, naked, and otherworldly. Its innards have been removed and replaced by valves hot with energy, A                          . Two chrome antennae stick out of the wooden box, one vertical, B                          . The player approaches the apparatus, but does not touch it. Instead, he outstretches his arm like a conductor readying an orchestra, or a sorcerer readying a spell. The right hand moves in jagged, sudden positions forward and back, looking mechanical and robotic. The left hand is in a constant ebb and flow, C                          . The player looks like a cyborg, caught between human artistry and mathematical precision. The sound that leaps out of the machine can be described in the same way.

It is impossibly natural and is the closest thing to a human voice that has ever been produced by an instrument, D                          . It is an endless cascade of vowels and vibrato speaking without saying anything. The heart transplanted into the wooden box adapts to what it has and sings its pure, sad song. All the while, the player is completely separate from his instrument, E                          . There’s something very tragic about the sound of the theremin — one can picture a human ensnared in the machine, or a soul longing to leap out of the object. Perhaps this is why theremins have been utilized for scoring the robot-ridden science fiction films of the 1950s. To observers of the instrument, it doesn’t create sound by way of tangible, human manipulation. It observes and translates emotion — F                          , and every vibration of muscle — into electrons and volts, a pure extension of humanity.
