A luminous play of sound
Part four of the series “Hearing anew through seeing”
Theremin: Carolina Eyck
Lighting design: Egbert Mittelstädt
The theremin was invented in the 1920s, a time when various engineers and musicians experimented with using electricity to produce sound. The instrument, featuring two antennas bathed in electromagnetic fields, produces tones that are controlled by hand movements in the air. There are only a few musicians worldwide who play the theremin on a professional basis.
The renowned ECHO prizewinner Carolina Eyck is widely regarded as an outstanding virtuoso on this unusual instrument. Together with lighting designer Egbert Mittelstädt, she will interweave space, sound, tones and moods, conjuring up an unknown and unfamiliar soundscape for audience members.
