Do you know [lftkryo](https://www.linusakesson.net/)? He’s a genius: composer, musician, engineer, demoscene artist… a lot of retro stuff… you name it. He even makes demos on machines _designed and built by him_. His latest video is about him turning his C64 into a theremin. Watch it, it’s not only informative but also funny! … and then have also a look at [his other crazy YouTube videos](https://www.youtube.com/user/lftkryo/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow=grid).

By the way… the guy also designed my pocket operator (a mini synthesizer): ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/8/802e5bc81e1a0192bb0eecf321c310cd758ca68b.jpeg) ---

He also created the Sixtyforgan, a device for the C64 that emulates the sound of a church organ: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/iF4eeoDp43k/maxresdefault.jpg "Sixtyforgan: Ich ruf' zu dir (BWV 639)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF4eeoDp43k) And [here is the technical video about how he designed the device](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfsyCG-J6R8), also containing more music. ---

I like it. It’s basically done with only a spoon, a clamp and two 555s. ---
