Music for Spaces
Playing Space. The theremin was used in many fifties B-movies and featured on the Beach Boys hit Good Vibrations. Today bands like

And Tod Machover of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been creating hyper-instruments which link human bodies to the composing power of a computer.

James Bowman , who reveals an unexpected enthusiasm. Producer Svend Brown
