Finnish composer Kalevi Aho dedicated a theremin concert to Carolina which she performed for the first time in October 2012.
She’s also the author of the theremin method book, The Art of Playing the Theremin.
Well. Mind blown. It’s not every day that you see a virtuosa German musician give an intro lesson in a Japanese.

learning to speak japanese is a lot easier than playing a theremin really well. 😉

That’s a brilliant introduction, thx for English link!
Still can’t get my head around the the proportion of work vs amount of notes and timbres, but it’s special alright!
I have no idea what you are saying… but would you marry me?
A dream lady for the electronic musician. She is drop dead gorgeous, intelligent, sweet and talented.
One day… one day…. So, I’ll return to my synths for the time being.
