If I ever learnt doing music, I think I'd just mess around with an instrument untill I find a cool sample. Then start to mess around with another ones until they make up a cool song, and then I write it lyrics.
@@AnneB2 just put the theremin next to your laptop and pretend it's really important while the cat is in the room. if done right cat WILL lay down on it.
Except with the theremin your body is apart of the field that creates the sound so if you lose or gain weight you have to adjust the way to play because it will sound slightly different.
The theremin sounds like it comes from another universe, and sometimes Daniel's skits feel straight out of another universe, so it's a perfect combination! Also, shameless plug, I'm hoping some of you might like the music that I make..:)
I don’t think he bought it (like the title stated), in the beginning of the video he said that he was just renting it… so it probably won’t be showing up as often as the bagpipes.
shoutout to Clara Rockmore. if you haven't heard of her, she was one of the first musicians to master the Theremin and bring it into the spotlight as a serious instrument. her work is absolutely beautiful, her level of mastery on another plane.
@@mihan2d Not quite! Though theremin was invented by the Soviets, it was actually popularized by tours done with the instrument in the US in 1927 onward, which were ordered by Lenin at first, but later done with other musicians fascinated with the instrument, especially by musicians such as Clara Rockwell. Though the 70s may have been a booming time for the theremin, the original commenter was correct that tours done by musicians such as Clara Rockwell were the main reason for the instruments’ popularity :)
You know what? I do really actually believe that if Daniel played the theremin while also playing bagpipes, that would somehow solve all of this world problems at once.
Idk why, but I really like Daniel’s voice. It’s not too high nor too low, which makes it really enjoyable to listen to it. Like, I could never get a headache from hearing it☺️✨
theres a woman here on youtube that invented a method of playing way more accurately than just finding the tone. I dont remember her name but you find her pretty easily when searching for theremin
@@jenniferrippel8239 Are you blessing them for finding the person and sharing the info, or are you blessing them because it sounds like they sneezed? Yes to both? Perfect!
I want to hear the full version of its cold outside with the guy getting more and more uninterested and freaked out as the girl/theremin part gets more and more unhinged 🤣
Don’t know about later, but the original Dr. Who theme is ALL manually manipulated tape. Analog synthesis. Incredibly time-consuming, very cool. “Star Trek” uses an Ondes Martenot.
So glad to see a theremin here! If you guys are interested about theremin and music maked with it, there are Carolina Eyck, Grégoire Blanc, or Mezerg, among others, who do cool stuff!!
I want a theremin now because the gremlin that lives in my brain is going "you could play daft Punk on it and it would be the most futuristic thing you will ever do"
Hey This is sick!!! Do note, that you would have better tonal control if you tuck the fingers of your note hand in, so that they don't affect what the antenna picks up. The first theremin Player would pinch her hands like the Italian meme (sorry Italians) because it would give her a point with which she could very finely control the pitch
Ooh, I'm theremin-trigued! A friend of mine plays the theremin, and I've heard it definitely has a learning curve. Best of luck and have fun with the chaos, Daniel!
That theremin noise at the beginning sounds like something you'd hear in either a really bad horror movie, a really good horror movie, or a basement in which your captor is trying to induce psychosis via nonsensical stimuli and an incredible amount of mind-affecting substances.
I don’t know how it’s physically possible for a musician to have a theremin in his possession without at least making an attempt at the Doctor Who Theme. WE NEED A PART 2!!!
@@ClowncoreisCool mmmm I’d say if a group of people tried to get it banned from being played on the radio, because they don’t like it, is an attempt at canceling it.
one of my dad's rock bands has a theramin player and he does this trick in live shows where he sets it on fire while playing it. it can take it I guess because it's all metal? it's fuckin impressive.

I love how he's trying to make us hear the melody by just staring at the camera as intensely as possible.
it worked! lol
It works, I can barely hear his videos when he's not staring directly at the camera
Telepathic song transfer!!!!!!
Thats his concentration face 😂
Funny, but also I can say from experience it's just intENSe concentration XDDD
Theremin seems like one of those instruments that are super fun to mess around with and super hard to get actual good music out of.
I'd say it would be easier to go for music based on strings rather than percussion and rhythm based instruments, like a piano.
Honestly though it's so interesting it looks fun, I have to get one
If I ever learnt doing music, I think I'd just mess around with an instrument untill I find a cool sample. Then start to mess around with another ones until they make up a cool song, and then I write it lyrics.
Same as any other musical instrument
they are actually really easy when you get the hang of it
This man can play a cat, of course he can play a theremin.
@Don't Read Profile Photo okay
"Play" is a very generous word to use lmao
But can he play a theremin... with a cat? I NEED TO SEE HIM PLAY THE THEREMIN WITH A CAT.
@@AnneB2 Now we're asking the real questions.
@@AnneB2 just put the theremin next to your laptop and pretend it's really important while the cat is in the room. if done right cat WILL lay down on it.
For some reason the Theremin feels like what it would be to play a trombone just a bit harder
Except with the theremin your body is apart of the field that creates the sound so if you lose or gain weight you have to adjust the way to play because it will sound slightly different.
The theremin is definitely weird and chaotic enough for Daniel, it suits him well. I can't wait to see how this unfolds in the future!
The theremin sounds like it comes from another universe, and sometimes Daniel's skits feel straight out of another universe, so it's a perfect combination!
Also, shameless plug, I'm hoping some of you might like the music that I make..:)
...after the bagpipes, of course
@@МарияПтаха Yes, bagpipes can sound otherworldly too!
I don’t think he bought it (like the title stated), in the beginning of the video he said that he was just renting it… so it probably won’t be showing up as often as the bagpipes.

Except it was popularised back in the 70s by the Soviet movie industry because duh it was a Soviet invention

I get the feeling that Daniel is about to make a video game soundtrack
TRUEEEEE
Oh yeahhh
I'm upping you one. A whole movie soundtrack!
I heard once that this was originally the instrument you would play in The Wind Waker.
@@braydengraves4655 Yes, that is in fact the case. There was a peripheral and everything, it's hilarious.
This theramin energy is hauntingly aggressive, AND IM HERE FOR IT
Wait! Scott wasn’t played by Daniel? 😮😳😵 I thought he lived in a perfect universe with just himself!
oh hi.
when you need to come up with a band name is also with people not played by daniel
omg its the chocolate rain guy
That was Daniel, just with a mask and clever editing
Chocolate rain
Bro would be sick for a horror movie intro 2:58
You know what? I do really actually believe that if Daniel played the theremin while also playing bagpipes, that would somehow solve all of this world problems at once.
At this point it's worth the shot
or double them. The Bagmin Gambit
That’s like the opening scene of Bill and Ted 3
Let's try that
"Megalovania by Tobey Maguire"
He really did the little white dog dirty
It's honestly crazy how after two minutes, you're like nailing how far to move your hand to hit certain notes
He does have pitch snapping turned on
@@chair547 ah okay
@@chair547 wait is that a joke for like aim assist or real
@@AMalas its real
It’s a video. He could have practiced some before this lol
0:34 need a full version of that so much
Yesssssss
Me too
Goes so fucking hard even now
@assas1nscreedtry The Risk of Rain soundtrack, same type of soubd
Whenever he gets a new toy, it's always fun to see what meme songs and chaos he makes lol
@Don't Read Profile Photo ok
Idk why, but I really like Daniel’s voice. It’s not too high nor too low, which makes it really enjoyable to listen to it. Like, I could never get a headache from hearing it☺️✨
As cool of an instrument as it is, I'm actually thinking of selling my theremin.
I haven't touched it in years.
Get out
Underrated comment
AHHH FR?!?!
that was uncalled for
Bro you made me exhale
1:47 Is my stomach during class.
theres a woman here on youtube that invented a method of playing way more accurately than just finding the tone. I dont remember her name but you find her pretty easily when searching for theremin

Oh! Bless you!
@@jenniferrippel8239 Are you blessing them for finding the person and sharing the info, or are you blessing them because it sounds like they sneezed?
Yes to both?
Perfect!
@@suemccashland my first thought when I saw this. Hope Daniel sees this!
Well that's no fun
"I really cant stay," *dying elephant noises*
"I gotta go way" *more dying elephant noises*
Apparently my dog is endlessly fascinated by theremin noises
a husky is just a really energetic furry theremin, after all
^
1:07 I just like this part
MR WORLDWIDE SOUNDING ASS
He’s a prodigy. The very first sound he made was exactly “fly like an eagle” intro.
Banger song
I want to hear the full version of its cold outside with the guy getting more and more uninterested and freaked out as the girl/theremin part gets more and more unhinged 🤣
The fact that you picked it up to that level of competence so quickly aT ALL is impressive
1:01 Fur Elise is shedding oh no 💀
i never thought i’d feel so nostalgic listening to a jingle for a piano app
Bro same
I bet this gave John Williams a heart attack. lol 2:36
Kind of wanted to see him try to play the Doctor Who theme. I think it actually is a theramin that's used alongside a synth.
The Ricky and Morty intro got inspiration from the Dr Who intro! So you kinda got a bit of it ^^
Don’t know about later, but the original Dr. Who theme is ALL manually manipulated tape. Analog synthesis. Incredibly time-consuming, very cool.
“Star Trek” uses an Ondes Martenot.
YEA YEA THSTS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR
I was looking for the Midsomer Murders theme cause that is basically all theremin and I just love it honestly
@@theKobus the Star Trek theme doesn’t use an ondes, I’m afraid! It was a female vocalist ☺️
1:02 lol reminded me of reaching for high notes during middle school band while trying to stay in tune with the other flutes
Carolina Eyck does incredible stuff on the Theremin. She has quite a lot of cool videos.
1:49 He did it. Changed Gameplay sounds
I'm actually impressed. You made it make recognizable sounds!
So glad to see a theremin here! If you guys are interested about theremin and music maked with it, there are Carolina Eyck, Grégoire Blanc, or Mezerg, among others, who do cool stuff!!
I love Gregoire! One of my favorite music RUclipsrs.
yes!!@@ahumanmerelybeing
Can't wait for what you'll do with it!
Press play
1:50 high key sounds like an alien taking a shit in an alien toilet idk space would sound weird
OMG! Playing theremin is super hard, and Daniel just plays it straight away! MORE PLEASE!!!
It has a setting that autotunes it to whatever scale you choose so he wouldn't actually be on pitch if he was playing normally
@@MongerOfStrings8222 Quantized mode is easy theremin mode.
I want a theremin now because the gremlin that lives in my brain is going "you could play daft Punk on it and it would be the most futuristic thing you will ever do"
0:59 Move aside violin, having no frets is no longer a flex, imagine playing a 3 dimensional instrument that doesn't even have strings! 😂
Hey! I play better than anyone my ago.
Honestly impressive you managed to make it sound so decent so quickly.
Oh Daniel, you’ve bought the haunted instrument! I wish you luck in your endeavors of learning it
Finally Daniel has the perfect instrument for his weird hand gestures
Hey This is sick!!! Do note, that you would have better tonal control if you tuck the fingers of your note hand in, so that they don't affect what the antenna picks up. The first theremin Player would pinch her hands like the Italian meme (sorry Italians) because it would give her a point with which she could very finely control the pitch
Him playing 'I Will Always Love You' sounds like a drunk ghost singing it at karaoke
I LOVE THAT YOU SAID THAT TOBEY MAGUIRE WROTE MEGLOVANIA
okay at least someone pointed it out
1:17 This Actually Scared Me More Than Horror...
imagine being in a void and the only thing you can hear are just the echoed cries of daniel trying to play the theremin
0:57: Ah yes, the classic "For Alösa", by Ledwug von Butthaven.
It’s the fact that he just got it and he already knows how to play it 😂
He’s too powerful.
First the bagpipe, now this.
Nice to hear the flowkey jingle again after so long!
0:39 i did not need to see daniel thrasher as angry matpat.
Ooh, I'm theremin-trigued! A friend of mine plays the theremin, and I've heard it definitely has a learning curve. Best of luck and have fun with the chaos, Daniel!

The censoring of R.Kelly's name for I Believe I Can Fly had me rolling🤣
The thermin definitely “ain’t familia”
*The one instrument that makes people yearn for bagpipes.*
Wow, I spend 4min 40sec watching a guy moving his hands around a theremin to make approximative melodies
I foresee Daniel's accountant getting a weird 'business expense' in the near future...
I don’t know how it’s physically possible for a musician to have a theremin in his possession without at least making an attempt at the Doctor Who Theme. WE NEED A PART 2!!!
Totally, you should ask the Gregory Brothers for more advice, too. Michael plays it really well
This man needs to buy all the underused/weird instruments and make a band with them
the sound at 2:00 sonds like Mario Kart
Didn't know that megalivania was written by Tobey McGuire, this guy really can do anything
0:21 Definitely didn't just start sending out an intergalactic signal to any potentially nearby aliens nope totally not
your editing skills bro
gets me dying of laughter every time 👌✨
Now I get the idea behind the thereminion - seems like a complicated instrument rather like a trombone with the hand positioning
I was wondering if a tromboner would have an easier time learning to play the theramin than a pianist.
@@kane2742as a tromboner I wanna try this
0:35 Steve Miller Band "Fly Like An Eagle".
Can't wait to see sketches with the newly bought theremin
0:35 why is no one talking about this?! It's sounds so good!
Perfect, absolutely perfect, down to the last minute detail.
0:34 actually sounded so cool!
Daniel + theremin = endless shenanigans!
my favorite work of Tobey maguire is absolutely megalovania
0:40
THX intro
you had one job. it's thx
@@xxxbox369piano ever heard of a misclick? Actually didn't notice it until now. I'll change it for you, thanks mate.
Or that one alarm for tornados
"Megalovania - Tobey Maguire" 💀💀💀
I´m so glad to see daniel with a theremin at last. A dream come true.
4:17 that was such a good throwback to the old jingle
At 0:35, that's so familiar! What song is it? A classic rock song, on the tip of my tongue
Can you tell me because I've been trying to figure it out
@@anticipatebacon7629 nope, not yet. I keep thinking it's Jet Airliner by Steve Miller Band but I've listened to the song and that's not it :/
@@Kitteh.B it's a different song from the same band, Fly Like an Eagle
@@YoItsEvanAdamsooh you're right! Very good ear, thank you!
@@anticipatebacon7629check the comments someone found it!
0:30 new Risk of Rain 2 song just dropped
This made me realize a scale lock on a theremin would be pretty handy. I wonder if that's already a feature on the more advanced ones.
There's actually one on the exact model he's using, the Moog Theremini.
This is exactly how my first interaction with Theremy went. Glad to see you've met him too.
He picked up how to play that thing way quicker than I would've
Am I the only one that wants a full version of the X-files theme played the way Daniel did with the theremin?
Why did 1:07 sound so good? Can we get a full version of that?
It's literally just The Voidz
It sounds like an atomatone from another dimension.
I finally understand the name behind Theremind
That therumin is cool, but i think u can never beat the coolness of a talk box... i wish they were used more
yes a talker box
3:21 wow Daniel did the song that was unfairly cancelled for like a week 4 years ago
You can't cancel a song, just say people didn't like it.
@@ClowncoreisCool mmmm I’d say if a group of people tried to get it banned from being played on the radio, because they don’t like it, is an attempt at canceling it.
Who. Literally didn't happen.@@MarcusTalks1
(3:20) best thing I’ve ever heard 🤣👌👍
This instrument is hyperspace and now Daniel has access to it.
No way thats awesome Meglovania is made by THE TOBEY MAGUIRE??
Hey! You show a lot of potential! I can tell you aren’t even using auto tune on some of the songs. I think you’re gonna be hooked.
I love the song Megalodonia by Toby Maguire
Really good 0:35
I love how hearing his singing actually made me question whether I actually new the song he… not sung… maybe crooned
How you played with a theremin and DIDNT do the Star Trek theme song is BEYOND ME!!!
one of my dad's rock bands has a theramin player and he does this trick in live shows where he sets it on fire while playing it. it can take it I guess because it's all metal? it's fuckin impressive.
THIS IS WHAT SOCIETU NEEDED SINCE THE BEGGING, we just didn't know it before 🤣🤣🤣

Tobey Maguire is so talented for composing Megalomania
