FIRST MAN Theremin Theme

  • The theremin in this video, or rather the music it made, actually went to the moon with astronaut Neil Armstrong as part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Here is a quote from the final paragraphs of the book, MOONDUST: IN SEARCH OF THE MEN WHO FELL TO EARTH by Andrew Smith ( the full story of the Apollo 11 moon mission, published in 2006).
    "Of more interest to me, though, was Neil Armstrong’s response to a supplementary question about 'the strange, electronic sounding music' that Collins [fellow astronaut Michael Collins] reported him taking to Luna. Armstrong told me that the electronic sound I referred to was the theremin music of Dr. Samuel Hoffman, specifically an album called MUSIC OUT OF THE MOON, which he [Neil Armstrong] had committed to tape from his own collection."
    The theme played in this video was written by composer Justin Hurwitz for the 2018 film FIRST MAN. The movie is based on the book, FIRST MAN: THE LIFE OF NEIL A. ARMSTRONG, by James R. Hansen.
    The theremin you see and hear in this video once belonged to Dr. Samuel Hoffman, and was used for the recording of the album MUSIC OUT OF THE MOON.

    Theremin was a favorite music instrument of Neil Armstrong. This is why it is so present in First Man soundtrack. So Justin Hurwitz mastered to play theremin for Neil.

      @@kamilarikut3638 I guess all that brainpower isn't being used properly. There is enough evidence, to be honest, and, if you think the records are fake (This includes actual recordings, videos, and pictures) I am certain that the primitive tribes are more intelligent than you are. Neil A. Armstrong is not a liar, it would be near impossible for him to fake it at this point, or at any point throughout history. There, have I convinced you enough before you come up with a more lesser intelligent response?

      @@kamilarikut3638 I ready have. Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. Oh... you are using their expressions and speech to determine whether they are lying right? Sorry for using the assumption card here but that doesn't justify anything. The capsule, suit, stones/rocks, engine, a hundred voice recordings from CAPCOM and the capsule itself, video recordings, images from the moon and space, the computers, the engineers who had worked on all things on the saturn v. Plus, you can go talk to the guy who crafted the computers for the orientation of the rocket. Yet, here you are justifying that the three astronauts whom landed on the moon are liars because of a press conference. Things change dude, especially if they saw Earth from that distance. No doubt about it. I think there is enough evidence for them to land on the moon.

    I've been following Peter's performances for some time and if you're new to his videos I urge you to check them out. He plays many ancient instruments, very well, I should add, and in the manner of how they were plays hundreds, even thousands of years ago. He's brilliant and very entertaining to watch and listen to. Keep up the awesome work Pete.
