Wilco Botermans

Theremins & electronic music design.

About Me

1995-2000: Studied Music technology @ Utrecht School Of Arts, where he specialised in electronic and computer music composition.
Loves mechanically played instruments (Listen to '121312").
Wilco plays the theremin since 1997 and lived in Moscow twice for 3 months to study classical theremin playing and interpretation with master thereminist Lydia Kavina in 1999 and 2001.
He started designing performance environments around 1998 using multiple theremins, analogue and digital equipment and computers, alongside homebuilt electronics and performed his works in several European countries, Russia and the USA.
Recent projects were creating an interactive environment where dancers would control the music through 5 theremins suspended from the ceiling (Generale Oost, Arnhem NL), and building a replica of the "Croix Sonore", a French theremin-like instrument, for the Dutch Holland Festival 2006.
Wilco occasionally lectures about the theremin and gives workshops about performance, electronic music design and using the theremin as an alternative controller.
