A song from 1962 by Manfred “Freddy” Quinn. I believe that this is Sam Hoffman on Theremin, but I am not positive. I think the best Theremin part is the last 15 seconds of the song. I will be deleting this song soon, so get it while you can!
From the motion picture “The 5000 Fingers Of Dr. T”. Circa 1953 from a 33 1/3 RPM bootleg record. I don’t believe this soundtrack was ever “officially” released. This film also features lyrics and stage sets by none other than Dr. Suess…
This is just a short clip of myself playing “The Lark” by Mikhail Glinka. I used a vintage Electro-Harmonix golden throat tube box to try to make the Theremin sound more vocal, just for fun! It kind of backfired in my face in this recording, however this is an interesting combination… This was my first attempt recording this way. I have been experimenting with Throat-Tube-Theremin for some time and it is amazing what can be done. More coming soon!
A cool tune from 1948 by Leslie Baxter. It is from the “Perfume Set To Music” era. This is the only song that is missing from the Hoffman box set. Sam has a Theremin part that starts near the middle of this song. Side B on this RCA Victor 45 RPM.
The only known recording of the Polyphonic Aetherphon with an introduction, in Russian, by Lev Termen. Uncle Howie
Here is another rarity featuring Sam on a Rock and Roll album.

Sam is a guest performer on this rock and roll song. Uncle Howie
Three Theremins play to a hard beat. I made this using a Theremin, 4 track tape recorder,Yamaha keyboard, and Uher 4000.
A great spooky cha-cha tune from 1959 by Herbi Silvers and his Orchestra. This song features Leon “Herbi” Silver on vocals and saxophone and his “Silver Belles”. According to the record, Sam plays “Theremin Effects”. Side A on this Sutter 45 RPM.
