QUALITY MUSIC POSTS (hopefully)

Sincere Apologies

I've been VERY tardy with updating my blog due to exams, summer and moving to University.

I shall start posting more regularly soon.

The Whiskey Hill Singers,

I am madly in love with Judy Henske and would highly defend her voice as one of the best of the 60's.

I'd never even heard of The Whiskey Hill Singers featuring her before today, but they've already won my opinion of creating the best promo photoshoot from a band ever, they also, oddly, remind me of a beatnik Daisy Chainsaw.

TUMBLR

Although I have 121 times more followers on tumblr than here (seriously), just felt like posting a link to it, as well as my ~humerous~ tumblr stereotype.

Theremin

The theremin (θɛrəmɪn), is an early electronic musical instrument controlled without discernible physical contact from the player. It is named after its Russian inventor, Professor Léon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928. The controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which sense the position of the player's hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude with the other, so it can be played without being touched.

I've been obsessed with the Theremin recently. If I still want one in a years time I can get one for my 19th birthday AWWYEAH.
Anywhoo, enjoy some of my favourite performances.

The Delia Derbyshire of theremin


Lydia Kavina - Claire De Lune
'Original Works for the Theremin', 1999, probably the best album using the instrument.
