Hands Off has quickly grown into a thousand-hand, all embracing, theremin convergence of players, builders, and aficionados from across Great Britain and the globe.
This year will feature performances by
Lydia Kavina,
who will also give a talk and master class,
and ThereminWorld Memebers(!):
Chris Conway,
Alexander Thomas,
and
Beat Frequency,
aka Gordon Charlton, founder-director-publicist-&-handyman of Hands Off.
There will be a
Theremin Cello duet
too, and a Grand Finale of twenty thereminists!
A public interactive theremin installation will up up for the week.
The installation uses 16 custom built theremins by
Fred Mundell of
Fundamental Designs Ltd.
I couldn't possibly thank and congratulate GordonC (and Mrs. GordonC too I'm sure!) enough for Hands Off. It has become a major and inspiring theremin event and has been the most consistent and fastest growing festival for the theremin.
