The first synthesizer was
constructed by Russian physicist Lev Sergeyevitch Termen
(1896-1993) in 1919. While working as a Russian military scientist in
the oscillator laboratory at the Physico-Technical Institute in
Petrograd (St. Petersburg), Termen was trying to develop a means to
locate enemy radio transmitters for the military. One day while working
with various gases in vacuum tubes he serendipitously noticed that the
presence of his body could detune a radio receiver. Being a trained
classical cellist, he realized the implications of his discovery and was
soon playing several tunes for his scientific and military colleagues.
He soon developed the first prototype for use as a musical instrument.
Its creation opened up the whole field of electronic music that
eventually led to the invention of the ondes Martenot, electronic
organs, and today's synthesizers.
Professor Termen's name was later anglicized to
Leon Theremin, and his improved design became known as the Thereminvox.
Finally the generic term "theremin" made its way into the musical
lexicon to describe any of these instruments.
Most famous uses of theremin:
Konstantin Kovalsky, Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin,
Portishead, Tom Waits...
