#52 | The Theremin

If you've ever watched an old sci-fi or horror film, you've probably heard the hair-tingling, alien sounds of the Theremin. It's a spooky, strange instrument that's played without being touched, and has become a staple for classic horror movies. This is the story of the Theremin's mysterious journey. Featuring Thereminist Rob Schwimmer, Michelle Moog-Koussa, daughter of Bob Moog and Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, and Albert Glinsky, courtesy of Moog Music.  20K is made out of the studios of Defacto Sound and hosted by Dallas Taylor.  Help us make 20k - become a sustaining, recurring contributor.   Sign up for Musicbed Membership music.20k.org.  Consolidate your debt by going to lightstream.com/20k.  Get a free month of Splice at splice.com/20k and enter promo code 20k.  Episode transcript, music, and credits can be found here: https://www.20k.org/episodes/leontheremin
