Theremin and Lenin


This weekend has undoubtedly been a very Red weekend.
I have consumed many Red things, both in liquid and solid form.
Pastarma, Carpaccio(thanks Eli), Pepperoni, Marinara, red beer and wine.


Red
references in a book I read over this weekend; of N. Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh and French Indochina , of French cooking and Gertrude Stein, who's name always makes me think of Roseability by Idlewild, all of which extended into tiresome and endless Wikipedia expeditions.


And finally as tribute to Leon, I have build a Theremin. It's a very simple yet temperamental thing, that I doubt even Clara R. would be able to control . It was meant as an artistic promise whispered through evaporating alcohol in a dark and loud chamber, but our friends are working, and youth has no place in serious work.

But there it is.
A video of a test.
In the future a telescoping antenna of the old am/fm variety and an enclosure of some sort. MeSt will be the inspiration for the latter.
