i think they should convert pictures into sound more often, like how aphex twin used this technique in equation
i've made a song like this before, too. it's kinda fun making pics into sound.

There are other great instruments that are similar to the theremin. The Beach Boys used a similar device called the Tannerin on songs like Good Vibrations and Wild Honey.
The Ondes Martenot while being completely different in design has a very similar sound as well and was also popular to use in old sci fi and horror films....
I'd never heard of a Tannerin, either! Now I'll go listen to Good Vibrations again. And an Ondes Martenot? Now I know what that is, too, thanks to you! You have a lot of information, boo boo.

That reminds me, Roger Waters has an album called Music From the Body which uses a lot of sounds from the body. I'm actually pretty curious to hear it. :laughing:
Your mentioning of "Music From the Body" by Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and others led me to look up the music. I learned that this soundtrack for a human body documentary does include a lot of "biomusic," like you said (slaps, breathing, laughing, whispering, flatulence, etc.).
Here's a pretty song from Roger Waters "Music From The Body" that includes a tiny bit of biomusic (breezes, birdsong). Warning: the video shows a nipple and....BODY HAIR! Bwaa haaa haaaaaaa! ;) (Just when you thought you were safe, boo boo!)
Pop music could use more natural instruments (nature sounds) like this song does:

Very fascinating instrument, wish I had one. :(
It has an incredible tone variety for something that's not a synthesizer or sampler.

I second this. And clarinet, drum machine, farfisa organ. And music definitely needs more violins. Hey, I just basically described Tuxedomoon.

cello, but not in the orchestral sense, more as a single instrument

Needs to be more Marimbas and Vibes in music these days.

I recommend late 70s Gong (also known as Pierre Moerlen's Gong), great psychedelic fusion with heavy emphasis on vibes and marimbas.
