Weird. Yet loved the show 🧙🏻♂

First time I heard a Theremin as a kid, which for that time was a weird musical instrument in 1966.
Yes the original Star trek had a Theremin yet it wasn't obvious.
Thinking about this, may account for why I like odd types of musical instruments. I really loved this show. 🙃

@DeWayfarer I always wondered what that particular musical effect was called. I do remember it from Star Trek and thought it was a woman’s voice.
The one from Dark Shadows always gave me goosebumps, as did the one from Harry Lubin in "One Step Beyond":

@DeWayfarer The theremin was used a great deal in the soundtrack for s-f classic FORBIDDEN PLANET. I have one in the basement, never really learned to play it.

@ChipmunkErnie I was just a kid in 1966.🤷🏻♂ I certainly hadn't seen a whole lot of shows. Much less with a theremin in it. Both Star Trek and Dark shadows where a bit controversial for those times for a kid.

@bijouxbroussard The very same instrument as on The Beach Boys' Good Vibrations and I Guess I Just Wasn't Made For These Times. Mike Love played a dumbed down version of it live.

@uncalled4 It was invented back in the 1930s, I think. Just a box with an antenna, played by moving one's hands in the electric field it produces, you never actually touch the instrument.

@ChipmunkErnie I have one, albeit a cheap one. I used it to record something on an album a few years ago. There was so much RF(radio frequency) flying around that I couldn't get it to shut up!

@uncalled4 I bought one decades ago, never actually did more than just mess around with it and make weird noises. Still sitting down in my basement with all kinds of amps, basses, guitars, etc.
