SECTUAL

But at the same time, I know it's 'a thing'...

I know theremins really can be out of tune, and really do need tuning sometimes.

And what I'm saying will probably come back to bite me but...

I just can't help it, I feel like, out of ALL instruments, the theremin is the least problematic when it comes to being out of tune. 

For real...

An out of tune theremin?? What does that even mean??

I dunno. And I'm kind of intrigued by the idea of playing instruments 'out of tune'...

No matter how out of tune an instrument is, I feel like there should be somebody out there who is able to still make it sound good SOMEHOW.

Like yeah you may not be playing all the typical songs that everybody expects people to pick up a guitar (for example) and play, but you could probably make something interesting, unique, maybe even totally bizarre using an out of tune instrument.

Isn't there some value in that? I feel like there is.

I think one of the worst out of tune instruments is the piano though...

I feel like an out of tune piano is almost impossible to work with.

Because the piano is all about a certain elegance, and elegance sounds a certain way...

Bottom line. There's just no changing that, and while I do think that it's certainly possible to make something new and strange from an out of tune piano, I think it's the most unfortunate instrument when it's out of tune.

That said there is one thing that can fuck with the theremin's sound that is totally unacceptable and that is other electrical fields interfering with it.

That's why everybody started feeling some type of way when Jack White got all up on his theremin player during the Lazaretto tour...



2:22 like I get that they probably did that literally every night and it was part of the show and he just wanted a specific affect, but at a certain point you're being a pushy obnoxious weirdo. I'd still let him fuck me though.

I'd DEFINITELY let him fuck me.

What the fuck were we talking about??

That's why they used the theremin for those science fiction and spooky stories because it raised the hairs on the back of your neck and sent a chill down your spine like nails on a chalkboard.

I've owned like three theremins. They keep dying in fires.

I'm super happy they somehow keep showing back up in my life though.

We were meant to be.

Fuckin' Jack White, he's such a pretentious doucheass motherfucker. He's DEFINITELY only good for sex. He seems kinda violent, I really like that.

0:45 ZUG ZUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
