Hitchcock used it to accompany the Salvador Dali dream sequences in the Ingrid Bergman classic
Spellbound. Led Zeppelin used it for the central section of
Whole Lotta Love. And Tim Burton used it in his homage to fifties b-movies
Ed Wood.
Used for everything from flying saucer engines in fifties sci-fi movies to current experimental rock, the theremin is a unique electronic instrument enjoying a renaissance. Sospeso's concert is both a fond homage to the beginnings of electronic music and an appreciation of the current avant-garde.
The Ensemble Sospeso joins Lydia
Kavina, one of the rare professional thereminists in the world, in music ranging including works written for the concert by
Olga Neuwirth,
Christian Wolff, and
Howard Shore.
Mode Records presents this concert, part of the
Lincoln Center Festival
2000, that marks the Ensemble Sospeso's Lincoln Center debut.
