SAIC Student Rob Martens: Evil Brother Of Snap, Crackle and Pop Martens?
May 15, 2008
With facial hair that just screams "I love Nikola Tesla," Rob Martens seems destined to have built a theramin of his own. His noisy, little one-antenna unit is capable of some pretty intense blips, fuzzes, crackles and squeals, and by hooking it through a DOD vocal effects processor and a Danelectro Honeytone Portable Amp, he can basically recreate the sound track to every Sci-Fi movie made between 1958 and 1973. Now if only he could control the volume. . .

If only he had a volume
If only he had a volume control, he could turn it OFF! Clara Rockmore, you are not, my friend. :-) Essentially, no one with less 7 years practice has any business near a Theremin, ever. Naw, seriously, I admire his art school attitude, finding happy noises in dysfunctionality. If it ain't broke, unfix it.
true...but
so, jimmy page and robert plant should have stayed away from it on whole lotta love? Just curious. Although, Clara Rockmore could kick anyone's theremin-playing butt.
