About this Event
Learn to build your very own Theremin! You'll be experimenting with eerie sci-fi sounds in no time. The Theremin is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the performer. It's named after its inventor, Leon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928.The Altoid Theremin is controlled by of two antennas which function as position sensors. Each antenna forms one half of a capacitor with each of the thereminist's hands as the other half of the capacitor. These antennas capacitively sense the relative position of you hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and volume with the other. The electric signals from the Theremin are sent to an amplifier via a 1/4" jack.
