The Living Force
I often watch PBS's Nova/Nova-Now programs every
now and then, but this week, there was a short episode
in regards to 'Theremin', a Russian inventor of the electronic
(moog) music invented in 1928, that piqued my curiosity as
I have heard of "MOOG" music before, but I did not know this
was connected to 'Theremin', the inventor. Apparently, it was
a big curiosity at the time, Stalin went "gaga" over it, and
Theremin was subsequently put into a "lab research" prison
camp, and did not get out until 1991. It is odd. The information
can be learned from the following link:
_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin
At this point, I forgot about it, moved on, but I was looking for
information in regards to using open-sourced software/hardware
development tools called gEDA, in preparation for a project I wanted
to finish that I put off for awhile. While researching gEDA tools, I just
happened to stumble on a "hobby electronics" website and there was a
project called: "Drawio" (which is shortened from "DRAW AudIO"), and
basically, it is a small Theremin circuit, provided with a uTube demo, which
I thought was creative, funny, and interesting.
FWIW, here is the link:
