Wow, both of these instruments seem so difficult to play without frets or proper finger placement guides. It seems a lot more personal that way though. Beautiful and inspiring! Not to mention really really cool!
Theremin is the most difficult instrument to play. From personal experience, i would guess combine trombone and violin together for the skill set required. Plus. if you play the instrument for a while, you will notice your pitch recognition becomes much more precise. Highly recommend learning for any musician.
@@jamesbailey3631 I mean the violin has been taught for centuries and is an extremely common instrument to learn. I couldn't imagine trying to find a guide on playing theramin
I wonder why you're not famous yet! You have such a perfect ear for music and every song you perform turns out so great! You should be an international star!
Denisa StarWars Solo these kinds of instruments have only threehomes: the Internet, experimental rock music, and contemporary classical. The issue is that the monophonic properties of the instrument along with the instability of the pitch in the hands of even average players mean that it can really only be really used as a lead instrument, and the skill requirement for even basic lines is very high. Unfortunately the theremin is at a tough spot in music, which is why it’s never really been prominent. Who knows though, with the way that hip hop has been progressing into a more experimental genre, perhaps it’ll find some use there. I could see it being used for a Flying Lotus, Tyler the Creator, or even Kendrick Lamar song.
I know why I don't listen to him as much as the other artists I listen: he doesn't upload as often and because he does covers, not doing famous music is a downside as well. If he uploaded more, he's be one of my regulars surely
I never thought I would see these two instruments together in one place. What a wonderful combination. Matter of fact. I can't ever remember a Thurman ever played that well.
In a world all its own. Musicianship this good, so young, is a treasure.In a world so full of commercial crap and eccentricity, originality is a rare jem. BRAVO!
I wish I was so enthralled by the music I missed it was the same guy until I looked at it the second time! I was sorting my tools and we were playing with a hand saw and my daughter did not know people made music with saws. What a great introduction!

C'est incroyable ! Vraiment j'adore, en plus du son de l'instrument qui crée une musique si unique, le procédé de ne pas toucher l'instrument pour en jouer est tout simplement magnifique. Comme s'il vivait de lui même, avec l'aide de son musicien bien sûr.
Oh mon dieu, je crois que je viens de tomber amoureuse de ces deux instruments que je ne connaissais pas il y a une heure... C'est incroyable avec quelle justesse, quel phrasé et quelle dextérité tu en joues ! Merci pour la vidéo et bonne continuation :)
You are so awesome! You're leaving the world a much better place than you found it. I'm an organ pipe voicer, it would be wonderful if you could do some collaboration with a good symphonic pipe organ, it could be magical.
That was heartbreakingly beautiful. I lost the struggle to hold back the tears early on, and in my mind I saw it as the soundtrack to the end of the world. Such an ethereal, unworldly sound is what angels create.
C'est incroyable, tes enregistrements ont un pouvoir extraordinaire sur moi ! C'est tellement doux, paisible, c'est une merveille à entendre ! Merci beaucoup pour ces moments apaisants !
I don't think I can "like" this beautiful and haunting piece enough! Thank you et Bravo Grégoire! Vous jouez tellement bien! Merci pour ce privilège inégalé!
Je suis tellement impressionné . Il est pas rare d'entendre l'un de ces instruments joués dans mon groupe d'amis . J'entends parfois les ont bien joué. Je ne l'ai jamais entendu theremin ou ai vu joué bien. Je suis inspiré d'utiliser votre technique pour améliorer mon propre jeu.
This was excellent! The skill incredible, the combination perfect. So soothing. I'm very selective when it comes music played on the theremin- but this I thoroughly enjoyed
I''ve never seens such instruments taken to this level. This (wonderful) guy has obviously received a classsical music formtion (look at his movements).
Quand on connait un peu la difficulté de ses deux instruments on ne peut qu'être baba devant tant de maîtrise technique tout en restant admirablement musical... Bravo!
Enfin, le theremin sort un peu de l'ombre grâce à Damien Chazelle et son film "Le premier homme" (2018).

This is the sound of melancholy and some weird peacefulness. And sadness. I’m getting into synthesizers and I’m really wondering what strange noises you could get out of a theremin by running it through some modules. Also, about your skill with both the saw and the theremin, do you know if you just became really incredibly fast at finding and holding on the right pitch, or is it just second nature and do you know exactly at which position is which note? On that subject, are you able to (for example) immediately put your hand in the position that a C is played?
I want more, I want an album. I want this to be the background music of my life.
Please do an album like this
same!!!
It's great to see such skill on such a rarely played instrument.
Instruments, plural.
@@simoneliasbjorkman True.
LOL
theremin
We're not worthy!! We're not worthy!!
The 2 most difficult instruments to hit correct pitch, Theremin and saw, and both are played so well. Wow. Kudos. Respect. It’s beautifully done.
Well, I'd imagine it's the same as a frettless fingerboard.
this seems a lot more screwed up though because you dint have a physical object you just have air
It's a duet between alien sound affects and ghost sound effects.
ah, perfect comment
🤣🙌🏾👍🏾
Right on target, yes
*SNORT *
Except both attempt to imitate the human voice
The tender, ethereal quality of Handel on the saw & theremin - thank you! You should be famous for your skills!
So enjoyed hearing this. My Scottish grandpa played the saw and performed for nursing homes. Old folks love hearing music! Now I'm getting old.
When you are a year older, so is everyone else!!
Wow, both of these instruments seem so difficult to play without frets or proper finger placement guides. It seems a lot more personal that way though. Beautiful and inspiring! Not to mention really really cool!

So beautiful. It's like walking into the court of the king of space.
This is incredible. Such a clear tone on the saw, super impressive.
You have more musical talent than 99.99% of musicians (singers included) shown on MTV. You deserve to be more famous and richer than them.

ironic since it sounds like it's being sung by ghosts😂
Magnificent. This is where perfect pitch or perfect relative pitch is indispensable.
I adore this beyond words.
