Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey is a 1993 documentary film directed by Steven M. Martin about the life of Leon Theremin and his invention, the theremin, a pioneering electronic musical instrument. It follows his life, including being imprisoned in a Soviet gulag, and the influence of his instrument, which came to define the sound of eerie in 20th Century movies, and influenced popular music as it searched for and celebrated electronic music in the 1960s.

Synopsis

Ce film est un condensé du livre d’Albert Glinski, où l’on découvre la vie de Léon Theremin et ses retrouvailles touchantes avec Clara Rockmore. Ce film a permis à un large public de découvrir le thérémine et a incité bon nombre de théréministes actuels (comme Pamelia Kurstin, Jon Bernhardt) à jouer de cet instrument.

Popular music of the 1960s was dominated by young bands like The Beach Boys, The Mamas & the Papas, Jan and Dean, and The Monkees.
