Saw &amp; Theremin duo performing at Tekotaiteellisen paskan festivaali  (roughly translatable to Festival of Pseudo-artistic Crap). The event is part of traditional Yläkaupungin yö city festival in Jyväskylä.
<p>In the audio (and in the video) you can hear traditional saw playing combined with theremin and pre-recorded soundscapes.
</p><p>Musical saw is usually played with a violin or a cello bow to produce ethereal glissando sounds.
</p><p>Theremin is an electronic instrument which was invented by a Soviet inventor Léon Theremin in 1920. You play the instrument without physically touching it. The instrument has two metal antennas attached to oscillators and the operator moves his/her hands closer and further from the antennas to control the pitch and the volume of the sound.
