カナダのサウンドアーティストGordon Monahanの2006年リリース。
長いピアノ線が金属を叩いたり、音を増幅させる板の上に水滴が落ちたりといった、いろんな音を出す仕掛けをテルミンでMIDI制御した作品。
1曲目なんてまるで怪談のBGMの様。
ミックスとエディットはJohn Oswaldが担当。
面白いです。
おすすめですよ。

Notes
In this piece, an interactive theremin controls a MIDI interface that manipulates several sound sculptures. Long piano wires are struck by mechanical solenoids, and water droplets are triggered to fall onto amplified percussive plates. Elsewhere, a dancer manipulates the harmonic resonance of a long piano string , while a DJ mixes in barely-audible recordings to accompany.
'Theremin in the Rain' premiered at the Open Ears Festival in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada in 2003.
Packaged in tri-fold Digipak.
