430pm ~ The Weird World Of The Theremin With Stephen Hamm
Have you ever seen a Theremin? You’ve probably heard one in old sci-fi and horror movies. It makes the eerie sounds that grace the opening theme of The Simpson’s Halloween Specials and was used heavily in 50’s scifi and horror movies. It’s the only instrument you play without touching. Have you ever wanted to try one? Here’s your chance! Stephen Hamm has been playing music in and around Vancouver for over thirty years touring the world with the likes of Slow, Canned Hamm and the Evaporators. He took to the theremin ten years ago and hasnt looked back! Join him for a talk on this rather strange electronic instrument that was invented over one hundred years ago. After giving you a primer on the history and workings of the theremin, Stephen will lead a jam where you’ll have a chance to not get your hands on one, but you will get to play it! Join us for some fun and mind-bending sounds. Welcome to the Weird World of the Theremin!
