In the UK we have a tv murder series called 'Midsomer Murders' for which the intro music is played on a Theremin. You have probably heard the music - wonderful sound.....!!

[@Mike-H_UK]

@Sarah Bailey Has Carolina played the Midsomer Murders theme music? If so, I haven't heard that. Strangely I got interested in the Theremin (& Carolina) from a technical perspective. There is a famous, yet true, story of a bug (covert listening device) that was installed in the US embassy in Moscow disguised as a wooden seal that was presented to the US Ambassador. The transmitter needed no batteries and was very, very difficult to detect, especially when deactivated. It was designed by Leon Theremin! He also developed a musical instrument that needed no physical contact but just the nearby proximity of an earthed object like a hand or finger. So I got into the weird sounds from that angle!

[@DarrellW_UK]

Celia Sheen played the theme originally, if you watch her you will see that Carolina’s technique is very similar.

[@barbarajohnson3876]

U know it sounds like midsomer murders love that show

[@johnt6766]

Perfectly executed! Memories of rushing home from school to catch the show at 3PM. Good old days.

[@WizardOfAtlantis]

Well, that's about as appropriate as it gets for Halloween!! Happy Halloween, everyone!

[@barbarajohnson3876]

I loved this show. Was late getting home fr school every day, cus I would stop in Woolworth to watch it on tv.

[@matthewdotson2186]

This is the best theremin performance I've ever heard. It's so musical and the pitch is spot on! Bravissimo!

[@DerekArmstrong]

Absolutely love this! One of my favorite shows and themes

[@rickr.mortis4821]

Superb! I always loved this theme, so haunting and beautiful.

[@xnihilo1044]

Wow!

[@thejupiter2574]

@Carolina Eyck Thank U so very much for this video music. I heard the Dark Shadows theme played in Theremin decades ago as a kid and I have always always wondered about the instrument. This was so much fun and so special to see the Dark Shadows theme played on this instrument. Over Fifty-five years later and I am still a big fan of the TV show and the wonderful haunting chilling music from DS Composer Robert Cobert. Thank U. :)

[@horsesavy4570]

Beautifully done, your a true artist on the Theremin!

[@PatGilliland]

Classic - we have the full series on DVD.

[@DK-yh4xt]

In the coffin? 😌 Me too. I’ve watched it now a couple times through. So good 😄

[@PatGilliland]

@@DK-yh4xt That's the one!

[@jasonvoorhees7288]

Awww lucky. I just watch it on Tubi. I remember watching DS on TV land when I was little and as an adult I found it on Tubi!!

[@nightstitcher3866]

I believe the theremin was also used to perform this theme on the show. I was another of the kids who raced home to watch it. A couple of years ago I had a chance to see a live theremin concert (although the DS theme wasn't played at that one, unfortunately). I've even had occasion to play with a theremin that a friend had. I was completely unable to get anything that resembled music out of it! Thanks for sharing this beautiful performance.

[@Michael-ep4kq]

Always is a pleasure to listen to your music 🎶🎵

[@charitysghost1207]

The Dark Shadows theme is my ringtone. This is beautiful. 💕

[@lisalisko2510]

Mine too. I switch between that and Quentin's theme (inst.)

[@z.m.stewart1996]

My favorite show!

[@marcuscane1087]

OMG Clara would be proud of you.

[@scottgamble7767]

PERFECT!

[@willowlaken6303]

Spooky! Perfect for Halloween.

[@rickerson81]

Cool!

[@ArghyadeepPal]

I just realised Theremin would go really good with horror music..

[@boosay1146]

Happy halloween

[@dylanakent]

Magnificent! Happy Halloween! *walks along the dark shores of coastal Maine*

[@robertellis6449]

you have an amazing talent, keep up the good work and Happy Halloween...

[@jessefulton8841]

Omg I love this show so much and have been watching your videos for years!!! Never thought I’d hear this on a theremin! I have a podcast I’m in on DARK SHADOWS called the LITERARY LICENSE PODCAST!

[@thejupiter2574]

That is a good interview podcast show.

[@Elphaba1952]

Exquisite 💗

[@jacobjones53]

I forgot how good this theme is, great stuff.

[@jasonvoorhees7288]

This is amazing. I am a huge DS fan.

[@JessieTheWeebGod]

YOU MADE ME WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE THEREMIN WOW

[@walterrepass3957]

DS theme is probably the most beautiful eerie piece of music ever composed. The late Robert Cobert was a genius.

[@johnmangano2518]

well done

[@frankenfrana2959]

FUCK. YES. I LOVED THIS.

[@shaolin95]

Awesome!!!!

woooah

[@riorattenrudel3907]

Voll schön - und wie die Kerzen angehen ;)

[@williamseneyjr.6277]

My cat was oddly enamored by this. She cuddled up with me and just seemed to have a different look in her eye with each note.

[@DK-yh4xt]

Amazing!!

[@michaelbildstein4895]

Dobry wječor, knjeni Eyckec. Hab mir heute auch schon "Sally's Song" angehört, aber der schöne alte Big Briar ist ein echter Genuß. Wunderschön gruselig. Přeju ći dobru nóc!

[@nathanstevenson100]

Love your videos! I’m thinking of picking up the theremin, you’ve inspired me.

[@Jethro.Maloku-le.Rey.Kalsitran]

happy halloween

[@2oldfashgrl]

That's amazing! It looks like she's controlling it with the movement of her hands, or should I say- her fingers. And she's not even touching it! Besides "Dark Shadows", I've heard it in the themes and music played in spooky movies, outer space/science fiction movies, and t.v. shows, too! For examples: it's the "Dr. Who", and probably "The Twilight Zone and "Star Trek" series themes as well!

Spoooooky! With hovering candles that spontaneously self-ignite ;) And why not, when you're playing an instrument without touch. Don't try this show in Salem. In Salem, show tries you!

[@bctrails7206]

666th veiwer! nice and spooky sound for a Halloween loop!

[@thinkforyourself2109]

This instrument seems perfect or spook music, doesn't it? Well done! I have subscribed to your channel. What a great find today.

[@Zendemic42]

First like and view! Love your work

[@dominikbednarz]

Ach wundervoll!

[@allenvestal4474]

I am jealous of your talent. I played guitar until Dupuytren's contracture hit several of my fingers.

[@wonderwend1]

This instrument looks like witchcraft at the best of times, now it sounds like it too 🤣

[@thefollowingisatest4579]

So spooky it had to be in 4:3!

[@jeffreycotter4077]

So good, the gf and i are starting from the very beginning. We enjoy it with a “blate cump” of coffee

[@cbass7283]

Do you think you'd be able to play merry Christmas mr Lawrence?

[@HalValla01]

This isn't an instrument - she's just harnessing the remains of 1600's witchcraft to produce sound out of thin air All jokes aside, where can I get my hands on this instrument?
