THEREMIN: AN ELECTRONIC ODYSSEY
by Steven M. Martin
Part biography, part social history and part detective story, this documentary by Steven M. Martin traces the strange career of the world's first electronic musical instrument, and of its inventor. While the theremin moved from concert halls to Hollywood soundtracks and to the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations, Leon Theremin was on an unwilling journey of his own from New York's avant-garde cultural scene to Moscow and to the espionage laboratories of the KGB.
