6/18/2007 - Gnarls Barkley Crazy Theremin Jam

Have you ever heard of the theremin? Neither have I, until I watched these series of YouTube videos by "ooo6". It's apparently the only musical instrument that doesn't require it to be touched. It simply makes a humming sound when you move your hands around its antennae. It is certainly strange-sounding, almost like a disembodied voice.

What "ooo6" does with the theremin, though, is plenty cool. In this video, he substitutes the singing element of "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley with theremin sounds. It sounds so good, that you can almost hear the original lyrics in the humming. He even recreates the artificial echo in the song. I can't wait to see ooo6's future work!
