It’s probably been about a month since I last visited Goh’s page so I don’t know if this change is new but he has redesigned his whole site. It is now more spartan and simple. You are immediately greeted by a large video performance of Daylight Savings performed with Adam Shulman followed by an awesome rendition [...]

I seem to have lost my last two posts.

I’ve been looking for professional Theremin lessons but there does not seem to be any in my area. As a result, I’ve been learning by following other people play off of YouTube.
I recently found a series of really cool lessons by a guy named Thomas Grillo! This guy is really good. He has amazing control [...]

One of the more active members of the Tenori-On forum, STACKDJ created a really cool site that allows Tenori-On users to upload and share their songs, blocks and samples. This is really cool! I might upload some later this week.
