Video: Zelda Theme Played On A Theramin
Two of my favorite things together at last for the very first time. Here we have the oh-so-familiar Zelda theme played on a Theramin. The Theramin is distinguished as being one of the first electronic instruments, and the first to be played without touching it. The instrument is comprised of two antennae where the vertical one controls tone and the horizontal one controls volume. I've seen this thing played in concert and let me tell you, it requires some serious discipline and concentration to play. In the wrong hands, it can be disastrous. Fortunately, the musician in the video is quite adept and does a lovely rendition of the Zelda theme as never heard before. Enjoy!

The Ether and AEther guys have been doing some incredible theramin stuff for a while on youtube. I know their most recent was a song from Final Fantasy X which you can find here:

personally I'm most impressed by their rendition of Crazy done only using hands and various synthesizers which is available here:
