Love the atmosphere and the arrangements here - sounds like the love child of Clara Rockmore and Skyclad - if those references mean anything to you... Great production too!
The Netflix documentary on John Otway showed him doing his crazy stuff with the theremin, which he calls his favourite musical instrument.
It has got a ghostly and nightmarish quality to it. You've used it brilliantly here.
"I finally wheeled out the Moog Etherwave Theremin for this one. I haven't touched it for years..." !!
#studioENVY This sounds like Reznor meets Bowie meets John Carpenter vibes. Love the mood. I second @dragondreams regarding the gorgeous bass tone. A Theremin sounds like a lost ghost soul on a foggy day.
At last! I get to hear your theremin! And that bass tone is gorgeous. Mind you, all the sounds are gorgeous on this. I love the huge dynamic shifts too. They really add to the atmosphere. The whole thing feels very tense and "nightmarish" the way it swings between moods. Love it!

Lots of drama, feels like a fantasy style film scene of dark times and battle about to unfold.

The problem is that I don't know if it sounds ghostly or an air raid siren with bombs falling.
I'm saying both and I'm afraid.

Hurray for theremin. To me, this sounded more like an action-adventure dream than a nightmare. Perhaps for a Ghostbusters sequel? Who you gonna call?

The theremin needs to go in the #kitchensink challenge! This sounds awesome and I love the guitar and drum kick in.
