Dorit Chrysler live at MOCAD

Renowned as a premier thereminist, musician/composer Dorit Chrysler has had a prolific career as a vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, producer, and engineer. Chrysler made her professional debut at the age of seven at Austria's Opera House Graz. She has since gone on to collaborate with the likes of Elliot Sharp, Chicks on Speed, Matt Johnson (The The), Cluster, and Gibby Haynes, amongst many others. Chrysler has also written scores for several of Jesper Just's films. Of Chrysler, Ann Magnuson exclaims, "A wizard! A true theremin star! Imagine if Marianne Faithfull and Nikola Tesla had a love child, with Jane Birkin as the nanny and Bjork as the wayward Girl Scout leader!" Dorit Chrysler comes to Detroit via support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, as part of ADULT. Detroit House Guests, a Detroit Arts Challenge project.

Dorit Chrysler has suddenly become one of my favorite electronic musicians, along with Dieter Moebius, The Orb, Morton Subotnick, and Pharmakon. I just LOVE watching how she performs, her facial expression, hand motions, shaking of head.

Hello, I loved it ! I will have a question: what do you use when the theremin has two voices ? It it an harmonizer or is this second voice recorded on the playback music? I also love the sounds of the playback. I have played usical blade for 9 years and theremin for 1 year. Greetings from France :)
