So I went to theremin times to share a playlist.
I guess I dont rate a mention.

Of all types of musicians and there 'culture's theremin players have the highest percentage of snobs elitists and personality disorders.

Best to ignore the whole scene.  . .

Last post for a while. I'll check back if I successfully rig the November election.

Playing the theremin is the least important thing to me now. Disgusted that pringle ruined the whole thing.

Rupert you are a gift to all of us as you are real. Pringle which is not his birth name as he must live in the shadow of his older sister who I will not name. He was very good in his day but like the rest of us became a washed up individual with minimal later success.

I know nothing about music and found many musicians had this odd attitude and reflection of self, they are just too bitchen for me. Some do recognize what having a gift truly means as in an instant they know it can be snatched away, visit Wounded Warriors.

I think many of us in our old age reflect on that saying:

"I could have been a contender" "You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am."

I got your message and reviewed some interesting stuff it led me to.

Hi Rupert, I must say that I do appreciate you doing your own unique things and style with the theremin as well as the video art you combine it with.

"Disgusted that pringle ruined the whole thing."

Funny you should say that. I used to think of the theremin as an electronic toy. Then I heard Peter play and thought: That's the way I want to play! Sadly, I have a looong way to go. Peter once wrote: "a higher than average percentage of thereminists have a lower than average sense of pitch." He knows me so well even though we've never met.
Peter doesn't grade on a curve. If you stink he says so and that is hard for some people to take.

Our trolls are very modest men.

"Playing the theremin is the least important thing to me now."

"I know nothing about music..."

With much to be modest about.

Accidentally discovered this topic, and read it with Google translator.
It seemed to me that inferiority complexes were indicated here, and dewster subtly and ironically pointed this out)).
What could be more important than humiliating talents in order to become a talent yourself?! What a familiar, favorite technique!))
(and you don’t need to learn to play the theremin at all))

But actually, I wanted to ask where can I put a link to the diagrams of tube theremins from the Brazilian magazine: http://www.novacon.com.br/theremin_articles.htm

Perhaps it will be useful for the site.

Hi Martel,
It would fit best in Theremin General or Theremin Construction forum I think.
