Uploaded a new track using this time the rumbling tones, Operatic vocals and the high frequency of the Theremin. I took down my last 3 etudes and reworked the concepts to bring a new piece.
My goal was to prove dissidence and layering of an analog Theremin is tangible but at the same time, something which takes patience to do.
I hope you all enjoy!

I see Haunted Requiem is still on Soundcloud. I'm glad - I really like that piece.
But this one is very nice too. Like in Haunted Requiem, the theremin is quite flowing and transitions are really smooth. I know what you are saying about patience.
I'm now more so motivated to work on a concept album with the Theremin as THE instrument of choice. Which has been proving to have it's highs and lows (Not in pitch). I'll say it's been really fun to work with the instrument as an armature in consideration to persons whom play for recreation and or professionally.
I will always love "Haunted Requiem." It's my first recording for the instrument, so I'll always have a place for it in my heart. As a composer and performer for this new piece "Divine," I liked the part where I could -Breath- and allow the Theremin to create a 'Rumble' which was nice to hear and perform over on track two. If anyone is 145 lbs and 5 foot 10 inch then we should be able to play together. LOL! (Do composers write this down for performance pieces?)
You'd be surprised what avant-guard composers will write in scores. But that's an interesting concept - writing a piece that specifically calls for two players on a theremin and how they interact with each other's fields to create interesting things. If that is what you are implying here.
By the way, I had an interesting thing happen tonight that kind of reminded me of the "rumbling" as you call it in Devine. I'm sitting at my keyboard and the theremin is back behind me. I closed out of a sound file and all of a sudden I hear this sporadic semi-random fireworks like sound softly coming from it seemed the speakers. I had to check to see if there was fireworks outside. I closed out of all music programs but it came back.
I realized after a bit that I didn't mute the theremin (which normally mutes when I'm at a distance) and there was just a bit of this faint very low random distant fireworks sound coming from it when I was in a certain position. It was really nice. I need to see if I can recreate that.
I found the same phenomenon was happening when mixing the tracks and using the Equalizer. Not just one tone, but a cluster was unusually happening even though in reality simply a single not is being held for a second or two. Which is the "Breathing" I was doing through the track. I found the "Rumble" was a good description of what was happening. Ya'know?
Yeah, I love the Rumble. I expect to see what happens with distortion and other techniques added too.
