Micro-casting anyone? Aunt Pat? Bueller? Narrowcasting is too broad anyway.
Regular readers of this space know that the theremin is a talismanic object, near-sacred in fact (Beach Boys didn't use one, Theremin movie, Theremin guitar pedal). Anyway, Make Magazine linked to a decent discussion of the mystical device.

If you want to hear a theremin in action, you can go to carolina-eyck.de. It is amazing to see her play this thing. Another site is thereminworld.com/sounds.aspNow another question, is where do I get one? The answer to that is obvious. You build your own. Oldtemecula.com has a theremin that you can build completely using Radio Shack parts.
Hmmm, I think I might be able to scrounge up $25 to buy the parts. Meanwhile, you can always pop this movie back in...
“Theremin: Ether Music and Espionage (Music in American Life)” (Albert Glinsky)
“Theremin - An Electronic Odyssey” (Steven M. Martin)
parenthetical note: Christmas of 2003 spent in SF, one of the highlights was watching this movie at my Aunt Pat's house, cocktail in hand.
