The theremin was the first electronic instrument in music history and the first to be played without physical contact. Invented in 1919 by Leon Theremin and championed by violin virtuoso Clara Rockmore, the theremin was controversial for redefining the nature of an instrument, musicianship, and music itself. Over a hundred years later, the theremin still evokes futuristic visions and myriad sonic possibilities related to the unique, spatial human gestures involved in its performance.
Playing a theremin can be likened to playing a fretless instrument in space, and is therefore notoriously difficult. While the instrument, for this reason, has often been relegated to an eerie sound effects device, talented thereminists continue to emerge, embracing the challenge of learning one of the most difficult instruments ever invented. French musician hYrtis has contributed her virtuosity to document the myriad tones produced by this mesmerizing instrument.
This sample collection demonstrates a range of lyrical melodies, layered arrangements, and effected atmospheres. The gentle sine waves and natural vibrato of the theremin can be heard evoking birdsongs, while the swooping glissando and soft attack offer another dimension in which the theremin excels. Spanning simplicity and complexity in different shades, hYrtis’ Theremin Explorations serve to document a piece of music history while propelling multi-genre productions into the future.

At first glance, no one would have thought that removing the seemingly insignificant metal rods separating the notes on the bass guitar fretboard would open up a whole new harmonic panorama and turn it into an almost completely new instrument. But it really is. Sublime and high-pitched violin character, almost weightless glissando, rich, full and hearty sustain and incredibly unique overall expressiveness are qualities that make it impossible to confuse it with traditional bass. It is produced by a subtle vibrato or just a beat of one note.
The Fretless EBX comes with a carefully selected instrument sampled with maximum detail to capture all of these unique characteristics. Besides sounds, it also includes a wide selection of presets, as well as customizable MIDI content tailored for fretless playing styles.
