Here is a little animation, an ode to the amazing Rhythmicon, the instrument invented by Leon Theremin that Dave and myself were privileged to play whilst in Moscow. Professor Andrey Smirnov demonstrated the machine which plays multiple rhythms at the same time mechanically.

Do you have any recordings of the actual machine? I’d love to hear what it actually sounded like!

Hi Graham, yes I’ve got a recording of it, we got to have a play on the machine too. There’s quite a lot of airy machine noise that Theremin couldn’t get rid of so I’m going to try and edit this out for a version we can use live. Will Bob it I to soundcloud when done. Cheers Vicky ps. He residency looked amazing!
