Scratch Theremin, Interspecies audio visual performance, 2011-present
For Scratch Theremin, Andreyev works with Tom using interactive software and a theremin to produce a 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 live soundscape and visualization. Also, Tom’s creative vocals accompany the performance adding his enthusiastic subjective view.

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
