Day 212: Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day

Do you know a lot of uncommon instruments? Neither do I, probably the reason why someone felt the need for an Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day. But I do know one uncommon instrument: the theremen. An electronic musical instrument which is controlled without physical contact. Want to know more about this strange instrument, check the wiki page.

Untill a few years back I had not heard of this instrument. But it is used by Gaudi, an artists who has done a lot of collaborations with favorite artists like The Orb and Youth. So meanwhile I have quite some Gaudi related stuff in my collection. So today, 10 Gaudi related albums.
