Howard Shore. First Theremin Concert for Extraterrestrials The First Theremin Concert for Extraterrestrials was the world's first musical METI broadcast dispatched from the Evpatoria deep-space communications complex in Crimea, and was sent seven years before NASA's Across the Universe message. Seven different melodies were transmitted from audio-cassette recordings of the theremin being played by Lydia Kavina, Yana Aksenova, and Anton Kerchenko, all from the Moscow Theremin Center. These seven melodies were: "Egress alone I to the Ride" by E. Shashina The finale of the 9th Symphony by Beethoven The Four Seasons: Spring, "Allegro" by Vivaldi "The Swan" by Saint-Saens "Vocalise" by Rachmaninoff "Summertime" by Gershwin Russian folk song "Kalinka-Malinka" They were played in succession six times over the span of three days from August–September 2001 during the transmission of Teen Age Message, an interstellar radio message. Similar instruments The Ondes Martenot, 1928, also uses the principle of heterodyning oscillators, but has a keyboard as well as a slide controller and is touched while playing. The Electronde, invented in 1929 by Martin Taubman. It has an antenna for pitch control, a handheld switch for articulation and a foot pedal for volume control. The Syntheremin is an extension of the theremin. The Croix Sonore (Sonorous Cross), is based on the theremin. It was developed by Russian composer Nicolas Obouchov in France, after he saw Lev Theremin demonstrate the theremin in 1924. The terpsitone, also invented by Theremin, consisted of a platform fitted with space-controlling antennas, through and around which a dancer would control the musical performance. By most accounts, the instrument was nearly impossible to control. Of the three instruments built, only the last one, made in 1978 for Lydia Kavina, survives today. The Z.Vex Effects Fuzz Probe, Wah Probe and Tremolo Probe, using a theremin to control said effects. The Fuzz Probe can be used as a theremin, as it can through feedback oscillation create tones of any pitch. The MC-505 by Roland by being able to use the integrated D-Beam-sensor like a Theremin. The Audiocubes by Percussa are light emitting smart blocks that have four sensors on each side (optical theremin). The sensors measure the distance to your hands to control an effect or sound. A three radio theremin (Super Theremin, ) invented by Tomoya Yamamoto (), composed of three independent radio sets. Radio set #1 is to listen and to record the signal at around 1600kHz. Radio set #2
