soundlab #2: TERMAN
Terman brings together four theremins, antennas, microphones and analogue synthesizers. You play the theremin without touching it – simply by moving your hands or body closer to or further from the antenna.

the theremin
Everyone has heard a theremin before: it sounds otherworldly, a little eerie. That’s why it so often turns up in sci-fi films and alien soundscapes. Think of Miklós Rózsa’s Spellbound and The Lost Weekend, Bernard Herrmann’s The Day the Earth Stood Still, Justin Hurwitz’s First Man, or TV shows like Midsomer Murders.
Specially for the concert Supra Natural, Logos created the Terman installation. The theremin was one of the very first electronic instruments. At the Supra Natural concert, it sets the stage for a parade of electronics: from a phonograph and a 1907 wax cylinder recording, to tape and live electronics.

Supra Natural · 06.11.2025 · Brussels Philharmonic LAB @ Flagey
Electronics in the concert hall? Think of it as a spark of invisible magic—something mechanical yet alive, opening up the symphonic sound, enriching it, or pushing back against it. Ilan Volkov brings together four composers who let two sound worlds clash and collide—or seamlessly blend.
