The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush.
It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.

I think so; the whole clip is 2'08".

I've recently found there's an explosion of theremin performances on
YouTube; I couldn't find a Barwick Green one, but it's only a matter of
time, I expect!

... each generation tends to imagine that its attitude to sex strikes just
about the right balance; that by comparison its predecessors were prim and
embarrassed, its successors sex-obsessed and pornified. - Julian Barnes, Radio

Has Yervaise ever tried to play the Theremin???

I once had a plan to build a theremin but, I could not obtain the very
finely wound coils required from the USA (this was in the early sixties).
Very difficult to wind by hand as it was thousands of turns of very fine
SWG on a special former. I gave up on being able to build it in the end.

I would imagine modern electronics would find different ways - either
using op-amps to simulate the inductors, or a completely different
detection method.

I looked - briefly - at ready-built ones the other day; I got the
impression they start around $400. (There is one around $100, but that
only has frequency control, not amplitude, so more a toy.) I didn't look
into kits - I'd definitely consider that, which should cut the cost a
lot.

The Fairy Liquid piece itself would swish well, I think.

<snip>
I asked because I played the video twice and couldn't really work it
out. Everything was so legato and quantised that I found it quite hard
work. Very amusing though.

Ah; glad someone else found it hard to tell! I rather weaselled out with
my above answer. There are certainly bits other than those in the main
VW-left segment.

That was my understanding too. It's the introductory bars which have
been brought bach (TWATBILI) and played more forcefully, no? I can't
really detect that in the Blob Opera version.

It's 2.12sec in on this 1925 recording by the composer:

Oh brilliant. I've had a go at Blob Opera, great fun but I didn't get that
skilled!
