What Do You Think? Science to Take

Theremin, the capsule we play next, tells the biography of the physicist, astronomer, and expert in electronics Leon Theremin (1896-1993), and the history of the invention that made him famous worldwide. On 1919, during the Russian Civil War, this scholar of music invented one of the first electric music instruments, the Theremin. This instrument produces electromagnetic waves that when being intervened by the performer’s hands were made audible and produced a very particular sound. The Theremin is known as the forefather of electronic music and the modern synthesizers.
