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.
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 upcoming CD/DVD
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 these new recordings, including the world
premiere recordings of works written for Sospeso by
Olga Neuwirth,
Christian Wolff, and Lord of the Rings composer
Howard Shore.
