Virtual Theremin
Name: Desktop Theremin • Rating: Kinda Cool • Format: Online Software • Play
Digitizing Cold War-era retro. It should be no surprise that audio-games make for superb teaching tools. The BBC’s kid-oriented Science Playground website has produced a Virtual Theremin for download to your desktop (Mac or PC). The simple implementation is a rough approximation of the mid-20th-century music machine that became a staple of sci-fi movie soundtracks and pop-music experimentation.
