* Views on atelier Theremin:

“The experimental music of the Berlin band atelierTheremin lies somewhere between Pop, Trash,
Psychedelic, Krautrock, Neue Musik and Fine Art.”
Qvest

“... Real Beatnik-Music from Mars!“
Ed Ward (Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Rolling Stone, Crawdaddy)

“The group atelierTheremin was founded in 1997, and is considered to be the first and only original
Theremin band in Berlin.”
Mathias Wegner, Jazz-Radio

“The Berlin avantgarde-electronic-project atelierTheremin plays academic crossover. Using the oldest
and newest electronic instruments they construct a bizarrely elaborate mix of Krautrock, minimalist
sound-collages, psychedelic, pop and experimental.”
Tip Magazine

“As a trio with a wavedrum and turntable, atelierTheremin performs in selected clubs. The concerts of
the self-proclaimed ‘Krautrocker’ of the next millennium are a mixture of spoken word performance, and
trance-like sound backdrops.“
Zitty - Magazine

“Disquieting intensity, penetrating rhythms and overlying the strange sound of the theremin and wavedrum
texts to expand your sonic awareness. Your heart starts pounding wildly, external noises merge

“The ensemble atelierTheremin from Berlin, founded in 1997, doesn't merely use this original instrument

a laboratory, in which musical conventions are used.”
Süddeutsche Zeitung

“Indeed, atelierTheremin produces sound atmospheres resembling those from a radio show. One listens
to the ten short-stories about drug trips and wild animals, but is always distracted by a noise, a Theremin
reverberation, or the constant sound of breaking glass - one is awakened from the light sleep or trancelike
state brought on by the ambient passages. All of this is cleverly orchestrated - always with the wink
of an eye along the path of the Avant-garde, ...”
Harald Fricke, Die Tageszeitung (TAZ)

“The atelierTheramin group was formed in 1997 and has become known since then as the only original theremin band in Berlin. They have played at various festivals and events in Berlin, Leipzig and Munich. The group's singer is the New Zealand - born actress Megan Gay who also plays the turntable and electric violin. Manfred Miersch plays theremin, trautonium and ring modulator as well as bass and electric violin on some pieces.”
