| + | The somewhat quirky electronic noise line-up [[Theremidi Orchestra]] (TO) was founded as a result of a three-day theremin and theremidi physical interface workshop at [[Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab]] in May [[established::2011]] under the mentorship of [[Cirkulacija 2]] art collective's [[Borut Savski]], who later also joined the ensemble. | ||

| + | Theremin was used as to produce sound themes and soundtracks for some of the obscure US sci-fi film production in the 1950s and 1960s. The orchestra members' fascination for the electromagnetic sound waves it produces grew into what they define as exploring, producing sounds with the help of DIY gadgets, antennas, conductive ink, umbrellas, wire ducklings, air tubes, flowers, and scrap metal. Their live acts are considered to be experiment-seeking interventions, ongoing workshops or performances rather than musical concerts. | ||

Orchestra's background
The nine active members of the TO (Simon Bergoč, Tina Dolinšek, Luka Frelih, Ida Hiršenfelder, Dare Pejić, Tilen Sepič, Saša Spačal, Robertina Šebjanič, Dušan Zidar) with diverse education and/or art backgrounds are engaged in the process of creating sounds by the learning-by-doing approach and use Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab as their base. Their performances are described as an ongoing workshop where the audience members are not merely observers but also active participants and can even make their own instruments at the TO workshops.
Sound generating workshops
The first workshops for DIY theremin and theremidi physical interfaces were mainly concerned with producing the sounds, although with the help of Pure Data - a visual programming language for creating computer music and multimedia works - it allowed them to explore the making of visual images. These were also used at their début performance at City Art Gallery in Ljubljana, which was transmitted live on Radio Študent.
The performances at festivals are usually combined with open workshops for making DIY instruments and gadgets: a pocket-sized theremin, TouchTone sound synthesizers or MicroNoise, as well as other small and portable electronics noise gadgets. For the past two years Theremidi Orchestra are also mentors of technological workshops at Sajeta Creative Camp, together with Cirkulacija 2.
