Pamela Kurstin is the theremin’s most enigmatic and popular player. With complete composure behind the instrument, this tuned-in, sound coaxing diva has mastered the instrument that was on the brink of extinction before it was revived by the classic 1994 documentary Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey.
Invented by Leon Theremin in 1919, the theremin is one of […]

The group uses carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, cucumber-o-phones and celery bongos. Using goods from Mother Nature’s bounty, the ensemble conquers pre-conceived beliefs about music conceptions and their limitations.
The self-organized collaborative of men […]

The Internet is quickly paving the way for artistic revolution, giving new arms for artists to reach art enthusiasts, collectors and appreciators across the globe. I am reminded of the words of musician and activist Jello Biafra when he suggested that we âbecome the mediaâ. Artists of all stripes now have the opportunity to do exactly this with the availability of platforms such as TalentDatabase.com. The art revolution for the Internet age is just beginning, and accessibility is no longer in the hands of an elite few. This is a visionary approach that will create unparalleled exposure for artists and a more eclectic and authentic palette for viewers and lovers of art. This is not just social networking. This is activism for art. I look forward to more!
