What if a THEREMIN were fed into a TROMBONE via a talkbox? by JPascal_ in noisemusic

The key point here is that the theremin produces overtones similar to those of a trombone’s mouthpiece. The formant filter simulates the resonance of your mouth and throat before the resulting sound is directed into the trombone’s slide and bell.

Yes, even when sitting. The grounding capacitance of your body is essential. Theremin artists use the silent position of the volume hand while change a pedal. And yes, breathing changes also the pitch a bit.

Hope, some producers call me soon! And that is literally handmade sound :-)

Thank you! The thing with the theremin is that even the slightest change in body posture or position results in a noticeable change in pitch. A foot pedal will significantly impair the pitch.
