The Field Between Hands

1
Pitch Is Proximity
The vertical antenna reads hand distance as frequency — the closer the hand, the higher the tone climbs.
2
Volume Without Contact
The horizontal loop governs amplitude; pulling away from the field dampens the signal into silence.
3
A Voice Without a Body
The theremin sings in continuous glissando, never resting on discrete notes — pure frequency in motion.
4
Wood Anchors the Signal
The mahogany cabinet shields the oscillators from stray capacitance, grounding the ether in craft.
