Unsigned comic musician Joe Pop's music is about to get a little more ethereal with the introduction of a theremin into the strip. Joe is the creation of artist Dave Laplante, who has been drawing the weekly strip since 2006. Dave promises the theremin will feature prominently in upcoming editions, and there may even be a clever surprise thrown in as well. We'll let you know as new strips are posted each week so you can follow along as Joe and his bass player get their theremin on!

A video of her performance in this *high* profile performance art series is hosted on One & Another/Sky Arts.
Thanks GordonC for the tip.

Jorge
Alderete, Mexican illustrator and designer, was inspired by the
Theremin and sent this cartoon to us. It tells the "true story" of
Leon Theremin.
Professor
Leon Theremin was born in Russia in 1896, but it was
not until 1920 that he invented the instrument that was to bear
his name
The Theremin, the only one you play without touching... |
|
and which caused a sensation in New York
at the end
of the 20's, where he lead a glamorous life thanks to his
invention... |
| However, Professor Theremin was forced to carry
out works of
espionage for the KGB, who nonetheless confined him to continue
his work in
one of their Prison-Laboratories! |
Or that is what everyone thought after his
sudden
disappearance in 1938. |
"This planet is not healthy if it can
convert an artist into
a spy and his instrument into a surveillance system... that is
why we have
come all this way to give an Ultimatum to Earth, and to ask you
to come
with us Professor." |
| |
|
...and that's how ever since then, Theremin
composes the
Soundtrack to Outer Space |
Thanks Jorge, esperamos para mas!
Cannot wait till the next one!
