More about these reblogs
Lately I have been rebloging music videos from Oannes new blog. For my friends who didn’t know, or wonder why…. Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and mine] musical selections. • Although here I reblog mainly his musical selections, he writes exceptional articles on various topics [some may need translation], so do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
OMG!
This is one of the best instruments I had ever seen!
I have some old posts on my blog (Paranoias) about that instrument.
It’s amazing!
And this video is amazing! ❤

I just visited! Lovely post and with Leon playing it himself! Clara was the first to perform this instrument and even helped Leon refine it.

Haunting indeed…. but also very ..sweet. She was introduced to this instrument by Léon Theremin himself and was the first to play it and even helped refine it!
