Open Theremin - Open Source Hardware Project 
The german wide project sounding D stoped over at nimm! (Netzwerk Improvisierte Musik Moers). Dionys Damann from the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society held a Open.Theremin.RC Workshop there with about 20 participants. Thanks Dionys.
First appearance of an open.theremin on stage, yeah. In the course of the JurassicLaboratory Festival (August 21th 2010, Gewerbehalle Lucern) omega attractor added the recently made mini open.theremin to his set. Looking for more cool sounds to come.
I just visited Andrei Smirnov from the Theremin Center in Moscow. He is a big theremin expert and has access to original instruments and lots of documents from Leon Theremin and friends. Andrei develops theremin sensors that can be read by USB and MAX/MSP. He holds workshops on touch less interaction installations. http://asmir.theremin.ru/ I got lot's of new inspiration for the theremin and related projects.
Open.Theremin.UP PCB on original Leon Theremin laborjournal :-P
I think we can say that the first ever Open.Theremin.UP Workshop was a success. We were six people from student to dentist working concentrated in the MechArtLab in Zurich while the street parade was running. We were picking, placing and reflowing until many new theremins were born. At the end all theremins were sounding and we went for the after party.
See more pictures here.
Welcome to the Open.Theremin news blog. This is the first post. I just set up the content management system and I will now start to put in as much as I can about the project. As things evolve I will post news and thoughts here.
