While watching Howl’s Moving Castle Theme by G Blanc I noticed something odd.  If you look at the Claravox while he’s playing the mute switch is on.  I never noticed before but it is clearly on mute.
Strange.........

Maybe Howl had something to do with providing magical sound...

First view, did wonder where power was coming in, from where they all look like they're standing in the middle of an open field. Never questioned the sound, since rechargeable speakers. That's indeed, strange, my Dear, but I believe "Ancient Aliens" (he-he) were involved!

Interesting find Yngvox!  Indeed, one can see that it is muted at 2:06 and 2:25.  But of course we rarely see bands and such actually producing the audio out in a field, everyone pretty much has to fake it in that setting.  MTV type music videos are 100% lip sync if you think about it.

Grégoire is a fantastic Thereminist!

    I love all his videos.  He is amazing.  His Production Quality is always so high I just thought it was an odd mistake to leave in.  They show cords and I would have thought he would have just turned the speaker off if he didn’t want sound while filming.  I was looking to find his Theremin settings, most viewers aren’t. I would love to see him in person.  I like the Spellbound video on the Hoffman Theremin and his Messiaen,Oraison.
Hard to choose as all his work is amazing. Always artistic and creative visually, musically, even spiritually.  Also a very nice light comic touch throughout much of his work.
Thanks

M. Blanc is the reason your Claravox stand is too tall

I'm not sure exactly, but I'm going with "quite tall". I'm about 5'5 (or whatever that is in metric) and just from the pictures of him and his stand I'd guess he's roughly a foot taller than I am.
I hired a carpenter to shorten my tripod so that it fits me ok now.
