X-Ray's Theremin Museum

Est. 2016 — Xan Van Hughes; a virtuoso of electromagnetic madness & founder of X-Ray's Theremin Museum; educational THEREMIN workshops, showcases, & live performances!

So, I play the theremin! You know, that spooky UFO sound you might hear in classic sci-fi movies? As a self-taught thereminist, I’ve always been drawn to the challenges the theremin provides for its performers. No keys, no strings. Just movement with attention to detail.

I discovered the instrument on March 9 2016, after stumbling across a Google Doodle homepage art for theremin virtuoso Clara Rockmore. It was her birthday. I clicked out of curiosity and that was about it. I was hooked on the theremin’s signal!

For the entire decade I have performed and practiced, I never learned or play in a formal way. Most of what I do is improvised and spontaneous to add musical spice or humor. I’ve worked hard for years to perfect my technique.
