WFMU: Ridgewood Radio with David Weinstein: Playlist from December 30, 2020

Listener comments!
	🥁 5:03pm listener james from westwood: Good Wednesday, Ridgewoodians and all!
	🥁 5:05pm WR: I used to be fly on the wall in an early email list on theremin. I think Rob Schwimmer was regular participant. I wonder if I have the emails archived somewhere. Probably not, i think that HD fried. All ears here now.
	🥁 5:06pm WR: It was normal for us, not doubled.
	5:07pm ruth kahn: Hi all!
	🥁 5:10pm david w: Hello James and WR and ruth! I forgot to turn off my WFMU monitor so I got scrambled. Thanks for the help!
	5:20pm ruth kahn: I always think I'm gonna hate the theremin cause I've heard so much hokey haunted house soundtracky nonsense played omit but end up loving it.
	5:22pm Webhamster Henry: Hi I was over with Scott, now ready for theremin and related contact free devices.
	🥁 5:23pm david w: Ha! Yes this is contact free music!
	5:24pm still b/p: I played an old Google doodle theremin to get ready. It has a theremin sound but has notes for an octave-and a-half marked and separated. So it's only theremin-ish -- not contact free. Also not pain-free for anyone who heard my Moon River.
	5:24pm Webhamster Henry: I have a Theremax that I built, it needs some tweaking. The Theremini is pretty good and has MIDI out and some pitch quantization (although I'm pretty sure only to 12EDO).
	5:26pm Webhamster Henry: My app AUMI is a video motion tracker that triggers sounds, so , it's a little thereminical. I could use the same tech to make it drive a synth algorithm though.
	🥁 5:28pm david w: AUMI is cool, folks intrigued by the theremin should look it up!
	5:29pm Doug Schulkind: Yusef Lateef included a theremin track on a 1966 record. My hero!
	🥁 5:30pm david w: Wow, Doug! Another one for the collection!
	5:37pm Webhamster Henry: We were planning on doing a Theremin fest in the Widow Jane Mine his year. Well .. maybe next year!
	5:38pm Webhamster Henry: For your reading pleasure: www.rcatheremin.com...
	🥁 5:43pm ranjit: oh no, i'm late to a theremin special!
	🥁 5:44pm david w: Hello,, ranjit! Plenty more coming!
	5:44pm Webhamster Henry: Theremins like reverbs.
	🥁 5:46pm ranjit: there's a real galloping horse rhythm to this version of star trek!
	5:47pm still b/p: Rhythm was a bit like Telstar rhythm, but quicker.
	5:47pm listener James from Westwood: Had that Telstar feel to it!
	🥁 5:52pm david w: Hey still b/p! and james, yes. I love those old Telstar recordings.
	5:52pm Alex In Illinois: I bought a Theremin on eBay once. It arrived in damaged condition, and I never got around to repairing it.
	5:53pm hank: Hi DW , I'm digging this Mango Tango.
	🥁 5:55pm david w: Hello, hank. Hello, Alex. I know an awful lot of people who bought a kit and never quite got it going.
	5:57pm d simons: Denman's not on this piece, called Virtual Percussion Trio. Everyone is triggering perc samples
	🥁 5:59pm david w: Hey, Simons! OK I can fix that.
	5:59pm HyperDose: This is fantastic
	5:59pm d simons: OK, now you're playing Occupational Therapy from that same concert
	6:00pm Webhamster Henry: I haven't seen David & Lisa for a really long time!
	6:03pm βrian: Inga: Wherein?? Igor: Theremin!
	6:03pm Ike: Good evening, human critters!
	6:04pm ruth kahn: hi D.Simons! Still remember the wonderful gig you played at Outpost a few years back!
	🥁 6:06pm david w: βrian! Ike! Welcomein! And HyperDose, hello!
	6:07pm Lisa K: Hi Ruth! Yeah that was a great evening - we shared a three part bill with your neighbor Skip LaPlante, who is presently up in Maine...
	🥁 6:09pm WR: I haven't kept up my interest in Theremin in many many years. Did not know about all the activity last year for the 100 year anniversary. Just read on the wikipedia page that in 2019 there was a "worlds largest theremin ensemble performance in Japan, 289 theremins. Looking around a bit and there is a whole active world out there. www.thereminworld.com
	6:10pm βrian: I have a recipe that calls for theremini. What other pasta would work as a substitute?
	🥁 6:12pm david w: Lisa K!
	6:13pm d simons: squid ink
	6:14pm Webhamster Henry: Speak of the devils! Hi David & Lisa it's Henry Lowengard from the American Festival of Microtonal Music. Happy newer year!
	🥁 6:16pm ranjit: βrian: if you don't have theremini you can substitute a similar quantity of otamatone
	6:20pm βrian: @ranjit: Sadly, otamatone prompts severe anaphylactic episodes, though now that I think of it ... only with vocal inputs. So maybe that would work.
	6:26pm βrian: Wasn't there a Lost in Space episode that featured the theremin? I'm guessing only June Lockhart could to it justice.
	🥁 6:27pm david w: June Lockhart, kid crush.
	🥁 6:29pm WR: The Tong Poo was fun. I can see I should poke around YouTube for Theremin performances.
	6:31pm βrian: @david w: Penny for your thoughts.
	6:31pm shelley: love it
	🥁 6:31pm chresti: Hi David, ruth, and Ridgewood company! I got waylaid with a zoom thing.
	🥁 6:32pm david w: shelley! chresti!
	🥁 6:33pm david w: @βrian: "Lassie, find Timmy!" (date me now).
	6:34pm shelley: too bad I missed David and Lisa tuned in too late!
	6:38pm βrian: Heh. Lassie: woof! Timmy: What? Dad's on a another bourbon bender and has sprained his ankle in Gully Gorge? Again?
	🥁 6:42pm WR: For anyone "tuning in late" you can come back to this same playlist page and the show is archived for future playback. When playing from the archive if you wish you can move the player forward and back to focus on the parts that interest you most. Normally a show is archived within an hour of finishing.
	6:43pm still b/p: Lockhart went from Lost in Space to playing Hooterville's new doctor on Petticoat Junction.
	🥁 6:43pm david w: Thanks, WR. True.
	6:45pm βrian: @still b/p: And Penny??
	6:46pm Webhamster Henry: Sometime you should do a show about the new continuous instruments, the Haken Continuum, Linnstrument, Seaboard, eigenharp, land many more.
	6:46pm Webhamster Henry: Rob nails this Vertigo.
	🥁 6:47pm david w: Henry, someday we'll get together in the studio and do a show!
	6:48pm still b/p: Make Room for Daddy, Sound of Music, Lost in Space. The women in Lost in Space got to do bupkis.
	6:48pm βrian: Vertigo can't be nailed, fixed, or paused, sadly. It is relentless and offers no safe harbor.
	6:48pm Webhamster Henry: I wish I had those devices! I just have a lotta out of date iPads.
	6:49pm βrian: Thanks, David W. Gotta fetch up some vittles for the little human.
	6:50pm still b/p: The Google doodle "theremin" does let you play some suitable notes along with this pretty neatly.
	🥁 6:50pm WR: That Schwimmer performance was lovely.
	6:52pm Webhamster Henry: @WR see it to believe it! www.youtube.com...
	🥁 6:52pm WR: Thank you WHH.
	6:54pm Webhamster Henry: This Good Vibrations actually doesn't have Theremin.
	6:54pm hank: Great ending - Happy New Year DW !
	6:54pm Webhamster Henry: I think Dorit Chrysler did do it with theremin for the Loser's Lounge though.
	🥁 6:54pm david w: Thanks, everybody. What a ride! Best dreams for 2021!
	🥁 6:55pm WR: WhaaaAAAAAHHH! Did not see that coming as the last tune.
	6:55pm Webhamster Henry: See you next year Ridgewooders!
	🥁 6:55pm david w: And coming next: 7-10pm EST: Bodega Pop Live with Gary Sullivan: 2020 Hindsight: Reissues + compilations from the year of COVID-19 10-midnite: If You Lose Your Horse with Sam Segal
	🥁 6:56pm chresti: Thank you for this David, I must listen again! Happy New Year to you and ruth and Ridgewood company!
	6:56pm listener James from Westwood: Had a sneaking feeling we might hear this one! Lovely survey tonight; thanks!
	6:57pm Webhamster Henry: Nice Variety of Theremin pieces; the 2019 festival alone was pretty great!
	6:57pm ruth kahn: Bye for now. Til next time!
	🥁 6:57pm ranjit: thanks, David!
	🥁 6:58pm WR: theremin or electro theremin. en.wikipedia.org... It was great vibrations you share with us David W.
	6:59pm d simons: great show david!
