It's possible that you haven't heard of the theremin, one of the first electronic music instruments, but you've probably heard the sound it makes on countless horror movie soundtracks.
Odd Harmonics is a month long exhibition that merges art and design with a collection of twelve, custom built, one-of–a-kind theremins, along with immersive ambient performances by renowned artists (including Wilco's Mikael Jorgensen), creating ethereal, eerie sounds instrument's two antennas. The exhibition, held in Judith Charles Gallery in New York, is sponsored by Moog Music and presented by music label Butterscotch Records.
Running until the 10th of November, the exhibition sees designer François Chambard manufacturing the instruments. Chambard, founder of UM Project, a Brooklyn based design studio, handcrafted the theremins by giving their traditional boxy form an unconventional aesthetic that resembles robotic creatures. The exhibition aims to add an element of tangible, experimental design into music production.
