About Me

"This is part of the weirding way that we will teach you. Some thoughts have a certain sound... that being the equivalent to a form. Through sound and motion you will be able to paralyze nerves, shatter bones, set fires, suffocate an enemy or burst his organs...."

David Lynch's Dune

The theremin is a meditation machine, a magic box - a biofeedback device, sensitive as a dowser's wand to even the fleetest of micro-gestures, synthesising synaesthetic sounds we sing with our hands and are part of the circuit, fearlessly setting conscious control aside to lose our selves in the music.
Who knows what might be brought forth by our evocations?

Beat Frequency is Gordon Charlton exploring the theremin. Find him in the register at theremin.org.uk - the website for uk thereminists and uk theremin news. Run by uk thereminists for uk thereminists.
I've got videos to go with the music! Enjoy. Better yet - check out my friends below. I have put them on the front page because they have the best theremin playing that mySpace has to offer. I love them all to bits, and I think you will too. Especially check the Spellbound radio show/podcast for two hours of theremin heaven every week.
