EDUCATIONAL SERIES
The Totally Unbelievable, Incredible, Remarkable, Improbable and Forgotten History of the Theremin
For classes from Grade 5 to Grade 8: 25 Minutes to 50 Minutes: Just the right mix of history, science and
music – all presented with intelligence and humor. Emphasis changes to fit ages and units the class is working
on (science, physics, music).
Magical Music
For classes from Kindergarten to Grade 4: 25 Minutes to 50 Minutes: It all begins with a question:
“who believes in things that are invisible?” Then, we are off and running with music and stories and time
for children to try it themselves.
THEREMIN WORKSHOP
A Hands-On (but hands off) Experience
45 Minutes to 3 Hours, depending upon number of participants and parameters. A session emphasizing direct
experience of working with a theremin. Participants explore all aspects of the theremin, including basic
playing techniques, and different genres of music.
CONCERT SERIES
Recitals
45 to 120 minutes, depending upon venue and event. Music-only presentations featuring either classical,
jazz, or both.
PERFORMANCE PIECES
Scheduled Flights on the Theremin
45 to 80 minutes, depending upon venue and event. From the boarding announcements to the flight
attendant’s safety instructions to your multiple travel destinations, EtherAir promises to take
you and your mind (either together or separately) to places you’ve never conceived of. Let your
mind take off for trippy original ambient compositions and even trippier visual accompaniment.
The Theremin and Technological Joy
45 to 80 minutes, depending upon venue and event.Through musical demonstration as well as stories
that cover history, physics and a look at the neurological components of emotions such as joy,
wonder and happiness, “The Theremin and Technological Joy” humorously examines our human fascination
with creating and possessing technological gadgetry.
I’ve Got a Theremin and I’m Not Afraid to Use It!
45 to 90 minutes, depending upon venue and event. Storytelling, history, technical explanations and plenty
of music ranging from classical to jazz to popular.
There’s A Theremin On the Radio
45 to 90 minutes, depending upon venue and event. This irreverent treatise on the connection between the
radio and the theremin features history, AM and FM memories from childhood, as well as classic rock
theremin hits like Good Vibrations.
TranscendAmbiental Medication
45 to 80 minutes, depending upon venue and event. A comic odyssey of personal transformation and
“meditation” on technology, freedom of speech and M&Ms, featuring ethereal and raucous ambient music.
Sines and Ohmens
45 to 80 minutes, depending upon venue and event. A satirical world view filtered through Nostradomus,
electronics, Zen, the science of sound and the abundance of life-affirming “signs” we take for granted.
The Mind Behind the Theremin
45 to 90 minutes, depending upon venue and event. “Genius” is the category we have peopled with
exceptional humans—beings who have revolutionized every area of endeavor throughout the ages. Our
collective fascination with genius has spawned studies, books, workshops, exercises, and how-tos, all
claiming that we each have a genius inside of us. Funny, touching and always thought provoking, this
is a musical cautionary tale, a tale about the price of genius at the dawn of the technological revolution.
A Theremin Sampler
45 to 90 minutes, depending upon venue and event. Remember the old fashioned candy samplers?
The ones where the name of each confection was listed on the inside of the lid? Same thing: A
wide assortment of multi-media theremin music and stories, each with its own special “Flavor” and
each selected from a giant candy box.
The Alien Theremin Buffet
45 to 90 minutes, depending upon venue and event. A totally new recipe for audience participation:

order and Kip serves up the music and stories that you request. Get ready for all your ears can eat!
