Telstar on the Theremin テルミンでテルスター

- “Telstar 1” is the first active telecommunication satellite launched on July 10, 1962, more than 50 years ago. It relayed television broadcast from the U.S. to France as first time in the history.
A British band called The Tornados launched this tune “Telstar” and it stormed to the top of the Single Chart of HOT 100 of the U.S. “Billboard” in December 1962.
The tune feels like Techno music and also nostalgic, like dreaming bright future where people travels from star to star. I was not born yet then but heard that it was popular in Japan too. Also, I remember the tune had been used as a theme or ending of some radio show.
Unfortunately the “Telstar 1” became broken within a few months from the launch by the influence of radiation from a high-altitude nuclear weapon test. But the name was succeeded by the following satellites and currently the “Telstar 19V” is active and working. The “Telstar 1” itself is said to be orbiting the earth even now.
Later The Tornados has broken up and the composer of the tune, Joe Meek, who was also the producer of the band, committed suicide in 1967. He might be dreaming still far-away space age at his end of life.
In this project, I used Roland SYSTEM-100, a remnant of the age of analog synthesis, which was salvaged from my husband’s old house, in addition to TTS-1 plug-in synth which comes with SONAR. The sound of SYSTEM-100 is blended very well with Theremin maybe because they are both analog synthesizers. The sound effects are the mixture of the actual launching sound of Thor-Delta Rocket which brought the Telstar 1 to the space and synthesized sounds of Theremin and SYSTEM-100.
In the original tune of “Telstar” by the Tornados, “Clavioline” had been used for the melody, which is an electric keyboard instrument invented in 1947 in France.
Telstar 1(テルスター１号)は、50年以上前の1962年7月10日に打ち上げられた最初の能動型通信衛星でした。 テレビ向けの衛星信号を初送信し、アメリカからフランスへ衛星中継されました。
そして、イギリスの The Tornados(ザ・トルネイドース)がこの曲を演奏し、同年12月には米ビルボード誌HOT100のシングルチャート１位に上り詰めました。
宇宙を駆け巡る明るい未来を夢見るような曲で、テクノっぽい感じとともにどこか懐かしいような。 わたしは生まれる前のことで当時のことはわかりませんが、その後も日本でもよく聴かれた曲だったかと思います。 何かのラジオ番組のテーマまたはエンディングで使われていたように記憶しています。
テルスター１号は残念なことに、高高度核実験による放射線の影響で打ち上げから数か月で故障してしまったそうですが、名前は受け継がれて１９Ｖ号が現役です。 １号は今でも軌道を周回しているとか。
そして、The Tornadosはその後解散、作曲したプロデューサーの Joe Meekは1967年に自殺してしまいました。 見果てぬ夢だったのでしょうか。
今回はSONARに付属のTTS-1のほかに、最近夫の実家を片付けた際に救ってきた Roland の SYSTEM-100 を活躍させました。 アナログシンセだけにテルミンの音と相性が良いようです。 効果音は実際にテルスター１号を載せて飛んだThor-Delta(ソー・デルタ)ロケットの発射音に加えて、テルミンとSYSTEM-100で作ってみました。
ちなみに原曲では、1947年にフランスで発明されたという電子鍵盤楽器である クラヴィオリン(Clavioline) が使われています。

The Theremin is a very difficult instrument to master, and it's one of the very rare instruments in the whole world..... The rendition of Telstar sounded awesome in this....!!!! Great job... Ma'am!!!
Greetings from an Indian living in Kathmandu, Nepal...
:)
Thanks for listening. I am glad to get your message from the glorious city of Kathmandu.
The theremin is a bit difficult to master, but it is a fun instrument. It is rather popular in Japan. Is it quite rare in Nepal?
Recently, however, the American company moog, which manufactures the Etherwave Theremin, moved its production base to China. This has raised concerns about whether or not theremins that work properly at a relatively reasonable price will continue to be distributed safely around the world. I hope that we will continue to be able to obtain a playable Theremin in the future.
@@miquette yes... the theremin is a very rare instrument here in the Indian Subcontinent.... In Nepal it's almost not available, but in India it is very rare too.... :D
@@aranyaofficial7082 Wherever the theremin is manufactured, I hope it will be available everywhere in the world for everyone to enjoy.
It saddens me that another terrible war has started while we are having this conversation. I hope everyone will be able to play music and live in peace.
Thank you for your creativity and reminding me that , originally, electronic sounds were produced by the operator passing his/her hands through the "stream". Telstar was our first communication satellite and the music was played the first time using electronic "instruments". It is good to see musicians finding creative ways of producing sound. I hope to enjoy more of your work.
Thank you for listening.
This is a song nearly 60 years ago, and this year is exactly 100 years since the theremin was invented. I hope it will be a future in which humans can enjoy playing with their own hands even if electronic musical instruments advance. I would like to continue to enjoy it.
Wow. This was amazing, the sound was excellent. I have the Tornados original version on a 45 rpm record and this one is just as good as the original. Well done Miquette.
Thank you for listening to my performance.
By the way, I believe it's best to listen to this song on a 45 rpm record.
It's truly an honor to hear that you think it's as good as the original. I put in effort to create the orchestration, and it feels rewarding to know that playing the theremin was worthwhile.
@@miquette Well done. Keep up your excellent talent.
Absolutely superb. Thankyou so much!
Thank you😊
テルミンでテルスターなんて！
素晴らしい！なんて、凄いんだ！
うれしいです！ ありがとうございます💞
あああ感動！！テルミンでテルスター！！想像してたりより遙かにスペーシー！！テルミンの音色が女性コーラスに聞こえて神秘的です。ステキな作品をありがとうございます♪
こちらこそ、ありがとうございます！
本家のギターとは違いますが、なかなかにイメージどおりに仕上がったと自画自賛(笑)しております(*^_^*)
*Excellent, innovative, and imaginative video, miquette* ! *A splendid homage to Telstar*
Thank you for your warm comment!
I'm very happy to know that you kindly understand my intention in creating this video precisely and appropriately.
Excellent interpretation and happy to see Godzilla next to you.
Thank you for listening to my performance.
This is a plush toy made by Margarete Steiff GmbH in collaboration with TOHO CO., LTD to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the birth of Godzilla. My husband bought it for me.
I think Joe Meek would approve, a great interpretation.
Thank you. I hope he think do too.
I like this sustained, lively rhythm and your theremin is marvelously melodious. You are skilful, talented, you are sensitive and feel things, you love music passionately just like me. I congratulate you for having been able to create concerts with your highly virtuoso theremin and your choice of accompaniments. Crazy beautiful. Ecstatic: Bravo & Thank you. Your swiss friend Joe // Wonderful hommage to Telstar : ))
It's nice to Rock music sometimes like this.
I really like the retro futuristic feel🛰️
This is one interesting version of Telstar by the tornado's, I adore this, keep up the good work, and thanks for keeping this song alive.
Thank you for listening to this tune. I'm glad that there are many people who like it. Many years since it has been launched but still very attractive and cool.
ベンチャーズでもスプートニクスでもシャドウズでもない、トルネイドーズのオリジナルに合わせた作りって言うのが、また嬉しい😃です。映像も演奏も。
細かい点をわかってくださってありがとうございます。
動画作成が拙い(ムービーメーカーでした)のと、発掘当時のSYSTEM-100が汚れてて恥ずかしい、今はもうちょっときれいになっていますw
この曲はいろんなカバーバージョンがありますよね、最近ボーカル版もあるのを知りました。

Fucking amazing!
Great....although at one point I started singing "sleigh bells in the snow" from "White Christmas"....! Great job on this!
I am delighted to hear you like the tune.
Actually, I did not realize that the "White Christmas" is hidden in the music. A very interesting finding, indeed.
I also played the "White Christmas" by theremin. I would be glad if you could try also this one. musictrack.jp/musics/9803
@@miquette - I wasn't able to open the track, but you're excellent! I'm interviewing Rob Schwimmer soon, if you're familiar with him, for my magazine: guitarinternational.com
@@ricklanders5645 Thank you for trying MusicTrack, which needs flash player so that it might a cause of unavailability. And appreciate the information. I will check the site out.
宇宙だ！
良いっすね！
ありがとうございます！
その後、いろんな人のテルミンによるテルスターを聴き比べみました。やはり、オリジナルに近い、そして演奏も上手い、貴方のが1番しっくり来ました。
いつもありがとうございます。
60年経っても、たくさんの方が演奏したいと思う大人気の曲なんですね。
元の曲に近く、でもそこへテルミンを乗せたい、というわたしの意図をくみ取っていただけてうれしいです
@@miquette 様
原曲へのリスペクトを感じます。
ありがとうございます。
最近弾いた別の曲で他で話をしていたんですが、完コピの方向のカヴァーってアイロン掛けに似ていると思っています。 アイロンを掛けていると、洋服とのコミュニケーションと言うか、どういう作りがわかったりする。 それと同じように、細かく細かく聴いていくと、あっこんなふうに作られてたんだ！と思うことが出てきます。 この素敵な部分はどうなってるんだろう？再現できそうもないなあと思うことも多いですけれど。
This must be on Godzilla's itunes playlist. 😁
Thank you for your comment. You must know very well Godzilla's musical taste 😉
