There is currently a discussion on the Csound mailing list about how to emulate a theremin waveform. I put together this chart that displays the output from the Big Briar Etherwave with various settings. As some of you already know, Big Briar is Moog.

“Poor Little Robot” is a piece of music orchestrated for Banjo and Csound Theremin. And I absolutely love it!!

Composer Joseph Sanger wrote the following description to the Csound mailing list:

I have just posted an mp3 on my myspace site which uses Csound in a small way and wanted to share it. It’s not particularly highbrow but you might find it amusing, it’s a rather poignant duet for Banjo and Theremin. I modelled the theremin in Csound (not complicated) and played it with a MIDI keyboard, recording it live into Ardour via Jack, so no Csound score exists.

I learned about the Pikaremin while reading Kotaku yesterday. The artist, Kaseo Shacho, has a flickr gallery of himself performing with 12 circuit-bent Pikachus. Too bad there isn’t some video of that.
