Remember the theremin? Controlled using a performer's hand movements in mid-air, it's one of musical history's most fascinating instruments, lending its creepy tones to B-movie soundtracks, Led Zeppelin songs, and most recently, a rather unusual episode of Severance.
Since its invention in 1920, the Theremin has been reimagined several times: recent updates from Moog and Stylophone have offered fresh takes on the concept, while the DIY community has spun the idea in new directions too. The latest instrument to take inspiration from this gesture-controlled marvel is Soma Laboratory's Flux, a powerful digital synth controlled via a motion-based interface that offers an incredible sixteen dimensions of control. It's a theremin on steroids.
