Scratch Theremin, Interspecies audio visual performance, 2011
software by Simon Overstall
For Scratch Theremin, Andreyev works with canine, Tom, using interactive software and a theremin to produce a live collaborative improvisational interspecies performance. Using a specially adapted theremin, built by Andreyev, that incorporates a carpet, human and canine gesture are used to produce a unique soundscape and a visual projection.
Produced with support from the Canada Council for the Arts.

- Signal + Noise Festival, VIVO, 2011;
- Vancouver New Music’s “Random Elements – a Celebration of Iannnis Xenakis”, Oct 16, 2011;
- Interactive Futures ’11: Animal Influence, Vancouver, Nov 19, 2011;
- Utopia Festival, W2, Vancouver, Mar 10, 2012.


Hi, I heard about you through a mention of a VIVO event. I wish we could have had you on our Theremin radio show we did last spring.
Can you keep me posted on future dates? I’d love my ten year old girls to see/hear you.
I may be getting a date together for a little film shoot of an “Antique Accordion Orchestra” I worked up. I’d let you know if you’re interesting in performing as part of that event. It would probably be several acts, including mine. Maybe in the new year.
Love, Bruce
thanks for your interest! there may be an upcoming performance next month. We’re still working on the arrangements. should have more info in a couple of weeks. – Julie
