ThereminWorld is the new name for the Theremin Home Page. The Theremin Home
Page was created during the summer of 1995 as a source of information for people building their own
theremins. Back then, Yahoo! hadn't even become a real company yet! Since then, the
site has grown from a single page of grey-backed HTML to become on of the most comprehensive
online resources for theremin-related information.
The original site began with a small bibliography and a couple of pointers to construction
articles in response to several theremin threads on newsgroups such as
sci.electronics, rec.music.makers.synth, etc.
As more people found the site, suggestions for improvement and new information poured in.
The contributors list was added to thank the many theremin fans who helped build the
page into what it is today. I created the newsgroup
alt.music.makers.theremin to provide a forum for theremin builders, collectors,
players, and buyers/sellers to trade ideas, information, and instruments.
The Theremin Home Page was mentioned in Popular Electronics (Nov. and Dec. 1995),
Everyday with Practical Electronics (Oct. and Dec. 1995), Tower
Record's magazine,
Pulse (Feb. 1996), Electronics Now (March 1996),
Sound On Sound magazine (Oct. and Nov. 1996), (PC Computing, Dec. 1996), Grand Royal Issue #3,
Electronic Musician (Jan. 1997, May 1998, May 2002), the
Discovery Channel's WWW site, the SciFi Channel's web site.
On July 8th, 1996, Magellan voted the
Theremin Home Page as a 3-star site. Even
Wired Magazine has declared the theremin "wired" and digital synthesizers "tired".
THP was the official Geek Site of the Day
(is that a good thing?) on December 18th, 1996. THP was the Gist obscure site of the day on St. Patricks' Day, March 17, 1997.
