Here is a course that I have been developing since I first proposed it
to UNC-Asheville in 2006.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">A historic overview of the interplay between
art and technology and cultural evolution. Given that technology drives
social change, we examine Art which has consciously sought to use the
physical and intellectual tools from the frontier of knowledge. The
student should gain an appreciation of the artist as an intellectual
investigator, able to wield the tools of science and industry for Art.
[To subvert the tools of the Military-Industrial Complex to making Art.]<br>

My friend, Michael Scroggins <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://emsh.calarts.edu/~aka">http://emsh.calarts.edu/~aka</a> was at an
experimental video conference in Moscow in the 1980s.
<br>
Theremin came up in conversation. Somebody said to him, "Oh, yes.
He's still alive. He lives near here."
<br>
<br>
You need to be a serious analogue circuit *artist* like Robert Moog to
build a good one. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.moogmusic.com">http://www.moogmusic.com</a>
<br>
I attended Bob Moog's Memorial Celebration in 2005 and heard the story
of when, in the 1970's, Bob was called to New York to restore Clara
Rockmore's Theremin, which had been built in the 1930's by Theremin,
himself. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Rockmore">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Rockmore</a> Once he got
it restored, he watched Rockmore warming-up on it and his jaw
dropped. She was doing things with the instrument that he never
thought were possible.
<br>
The best Thereminists are violinists first.
<br>
<br>
I worked in Asheville, NC from 2005 to 2007. In 2006, we bought my
son, Nate (See him at the Bike Co-Op) an electric violin. I took him
on a tour of the Moog Music factory. The sales lady let him plug his
violin into the Moogerfooger stack in the demo room. He tried out a
Moog Theremin, too.

<blockquote type="cite">I spoke to Jacob from Oddmusic a couple
minutes ago about their space.
<br>
The issue is that their room is basically a large closet attached to
<br>
the Family Room and they're outgrowing it. It sounded like they're
<br>
going to try to work something out at the next steering meeting to
<br>
arrange use of the Family Room when they need it.
<br>
<br>
Jacob appreciated the possibility of using the Makerspace, but he
<br>
doesn't think it's where Oddmusic is headed right now.
<br>
<br>
Oddmusic does do really cool stuff, though, like building and
<br>
programming their own electronic instruments. It would be really fun
<br>
to partner on some kind of project in the future.
