Erykah Badu plays theremin?

I heard a rumor recently and I found a reference to Erykah Badu owning a theremin (Mix Magazine), but can't seem to find any video footage. I'm sure it's true; I'd just like to see her in action. Bootleg cell phone vids, anyone?

I had never heard of Erykah Badu until you mentioned her in this post. SHE'S GREAT! I am her newest big fan. Can't help you with the question of whether or not she plays the theremin but if she does, I have no doubt that she will do it very well and that it will be original.

Thanks for the 'heads up'.

The same rumour just cropped up on twitter, so I asked what video showed her playing theremin, and was told "The Healer".

For the record, it's a Roland Handsonic 15 (http://www.roland.co.uk/products/productdetails.aspx?p=199), which has a "D-Beam" infrared sensing device built into it.

Here are a couple of clearer images of her playing it, from the myspace site of her side project, The Cannabinoids.

Update:

And she has a moog etherwave standard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCBwLGBdd_U

Thanks, Gordon! Ya know, I used to play a handsonic when I was an undergrad. If they weren't so damned expensive I would feel an impulse buy coming on!
