Live theramin performance and lino-cut demonstration during artist reception October 16, 6:00-9:00PM

The theremin is associated with an eerie sound, which has led to its use in movie soundtracks. The theremin is an early electronic musical instrument controlled without contact from the player. It is named after its Russian inventor, Professor Leon Theremin who patented the device in 1928. The controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which sense the position of the player's hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude with the other. The electric signal from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker. Keeping with the spirit of the season, theremin master, Dr. Zin-Zin Electro, will perform a short recital. This rare U.S. appearance will center around musical compositions by michigan poet-composer, Glen Armstrong.

Lino-cut demonstration by John Benson. John Benson will create halloween cards right before your very eyes.


Lisa Ackley's Loteria Jewelry now available in new Halloween designs.
