Have you heard The Octopus Projects' music? They also create some really chill vibes with the theremin. Absolutely love this small track/experiment, can't wait to see what you get up to in the future with this thing!

2015-04-02 06:04:33 +0000 UTCthat is a lovely idea! Like at $600 Jared Dines solos on a track of mine or something.

2015-04-02 01:10:06 +0000 UTCHey thanks so much seth! An exclusive musical mad libs could be really cool, I'd have to figure out what level that one would be at. Also, I'd have to find a way to limit submissions, at 221 patrons I wouldn't be able to guarantee a line to everyone. Usually those things come to about 30 lines total. But it's a smashing idea!

2015-04-02 01:08:04 +0000 UTCThanks Michael! And that's a really cool idea. I recently counted and I have 23 stringed instruments, so at 23 notes that could be a full song! I'm sure I could think of some way to incorporate all of them.

2015-04-02 01:05:56 +0000 UTCWell thanks! And I'm still working on originals at the same rate as before. They just take a while to turn into videos. It's pretty impossible for me to force write anything. I got a lot of stuff I'm working on. If you're talking about songs were I sing... then yea. I haven't done any of those for a while...

2015-04-02 00:19:50 +0000 UTCPerhaps there could be travel-related goals? Or collaboration-related goals? Or a combination of the two?

2015-03-27 21:16:56 +0000 UTCI have seen theremin performances before but none were as expressive as yours. Thanks for brightening my day. As for goal ideas, maybe a music project like One Note Song or Musical Mad Libs, but its exclusive to only Patreons.

2015-03-25 17:37:48 +0000 UTCThat thing is awesome. For some reason the first thing that comes to my mind is theme songs when I hear it. Probably because I watched that video of someone playing a Zelda theme on one lol. Anyways, congrats man! Love your videos! Have you ever thought recording a song where every note played is on a different guitar? I mean, not a thousand different guitars, just cycled through the ones you own

2015-03-25 14:49:37 +0000 UTCGreat video :) Theremin is such a crazy instrument... Worth looking at some stuff online about how to tune it etc, it can be made easier to play scales by adjusting it (it ends up the gap between notes is made bigger, so it's a bit easier to get into a pitch). Pain in the butt though! My Dad has one for special effects in his band. I wonder how it would sound if it were auto-tuned to pitch? As for funding goals, hows a goal towards some new original music again? The (awesome) patron song reminded me of how cool your stuff is :)
