Theremin - A Playlist
Introduction The theremin is an unconventional electronic instrument, named after its Soviet inventor Léon Theremin in 1928, and which doesn't require any contact to be operated. The fruit of research into proximity sensors, the theremin's setup is usually consisting of two metal antennas that sense the distance to the player's hands and react accordingly, one controlling the volume of the sound, and the other controlling the frequency and therefore the pitch. By moving both hands in the air and changing the distance to the antennas, musicians produce an eerie electronic sound.

Why I Buy Second-Hand Vinyl Records
My apologies. This originally had my commentary but was blocked by YouTube due to the album "Thick as a Brick" playing in the background. So I repurposed it as an Instagram reel with ninety seconds of the music that got it blocked.
