silent sound waves coming out of them and by moving yourr

Pogo/Madonna Wayne Gacy of Marilyn Manson has used one of
those before in some of their older songs...

Optical sensors... they are in a lot of machines now
adays... the origional one was the theremin... evented a
loooooooooooong time ago. Funny that no one has really used
them untill the 70's and then on....... with the exception
of a handfull of people. here are some recent produts that
use this technology..

popular before the 70's and used more.

hahaha.. no.... classic rock people used it way more.. and
your post was number 666 too

I am saying...popular in the sense that you dont hear it on
effects left in right people in the classic rock period used
it WAY more then people ever did before... and today
especially now with electronic music being as it is.....

Shit, you know, a theremin would make a pretty crazy midi
trigger... all you need is some pitch recognition like they
used on the roland synth guitars.

Then instead of a simple sine wave sound you could be
controlling DX7s and Nords and shit.

it ws used in popular culture ie top hits and film scors -
more thasn really obscure bands that use it now - it's used
as a tool to give the effect of those old tracks now so it's
lost it's meaning .
exacltly what 70's rock bands are you talking about?
taking into asccount that more people listened to varese
thansome obscure acid band.. but i don't think you know what
you are talking aboutas you haven't nameed a single band..
the best modern use of it was a japanese noise artist who
peggied it about the stage screaming with several of em
creating a massive forcefield of noise - wicked

"but i don't think you know what

Edgar Winter - Frankenstien, for a good example, who
pioneered the use of effects such as the theremin in rock
music..... if you listen you could tell its all over... :*P

And

I know it was used before alot pre 70's era, but not as much
as people use it today, especially if your considering how
many people use it in the electronic music now..... aside
from the noise artists. Its all over modern music today...
NIN, Marilyn Manson, KMFDM, speedranch (making orange
things), Meat Beat Manifesto, Eserdenubeten (cant spell it
:*(..) Ramstien (keyboardist flake)...especially with all
that (mostly crap) trance now adays....

"it's used
as a tool to give the effect of those old tracks now so it's

lost it's meaning"

Actually, last time I check, its used more as a fequency
resonance filter device (simple effects processor)...

I have had enough of this arguement...

*goes out for a drink*
