Tonight I threw on the headphones and hooked up my Ethervox to my laptop. I've ripped all my music to the computer, so I spent about 4 hours playing through all sorts of non-traditional theremin music. I had a great time playing along to Styx's "Come Sail Away" (the synth solo riff in there is [i]fun[/i] on theremin! Several songs by The Cars also worked quite well, especially with the square-wave tone on the Ethervox (pretty sure the 'Pro can do this too). I still like playing with the Dixie Chicks too; I almost have a "fishing pole" style pitch hand move worked out that makes a good country 'twang sound.
All of this started when I was watching some of my Ethermusic 2005 footage today and came across Jon Bernhardt's amazing "Video Killed the Radio Star" performance. I never in a million years would have thought it'd make a good theremin song, but wow was I wrong! Jon [i]rocked[/i] it!
So what other non-traditional theremin music have folks tried?
