THE FOG OF WAR — ReThink Review

August 52009

Errol Morris’ Oscar-winning documentary, THE FOG OF WAR, is about Robert McNamara — a statistician so smart that he was asked by two presidents to use his smarts at the very highest levels in matters of life and death. Another way of looking at it is that McNamara, who was the secretary of defense under John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, is the Donald Rumsfeld of his time, widely considered to be the architect of the Vietnam war. Using over 20 hours of interviews, Morris uses McNamara to give an insider’s view of recent history, as well as a portrait of a man grappling with his responsibility for the millions of deaths that occurred as a result of his counsel.

Theremin Lesson One

July 172009

Posted in lessons | 25 Comments »

http://www.thomasgrillo.com
A short introductory theremin lesson to playing notes, executing dynamic vibratto, and dynamic volume with the theremin. Playing errors included to demonstrate how difficult it is to play the theremin well.

To get a closer look at the aereal finger technique, right click on the video, select “zoom in” set to desired zoom, and drag the image to where you can see the hand.

Instructed by Thomas Grillo on Moog Etherwave Pro theremin.

This is not a substitute for professional how to play videos, books, or in-person instruction with a professional instructor.

This video would not have been possible without the invaluable professional training videos, books, and workshops produced by Peter Pringle, Carolina Eyck, Pamelia Kurstin, and Lydia Kavina. All of their methods have been, and are still being studied by me.
