PIONEERS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC – CLARA ROCKMORE
Having a focus on the Theremin on all platforms this week so I am reposting some old and new posts this weekend starting with this –
Rockmore was without peer as a performer in the early decades of the instrument’s use. While many listeners have heard the theremin played poorly or used mostly as a spooky special-effects device, Rockmore used it to perform classical works. Under her control, the theremin sounded like a blend of the cello, violin and human voice.

These tracks may not wholly be about Winter but do remind me of it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
OK humour me, this may not be electronic but it is as near to the original Robert Burns’ version that I could find.
Happy New Year and thanks for all the support.
See you in 2015
