Dorit Chrysler @ World Financial Center, NYC - pics
photos by Ryan Muir
If you've never heard or seen a theremin played, it's otherworldly. That's often why you'll hear the theremin in old scary movies or when alien ships arrive. Think Mars Attacks! And playing it, Dorit often seemed entranced or possessed with hand movements and gestures both subtle and flailing. Wonderful beginning. [Mf]Theremenist Dorit Chrysler opened for Ulrich Schnauss at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden on Tuesday night (June 24, 2008). Chiaki Watanabe provided the visuals. More pictures below....

Wow...this woman's command of this very weird and quirky (and usually annoying) instrument is SO impressive that she makes it totally listenable without being to gimicky. A tough feat!

We used to rehearse in the basement under Dorit's apartment -- she's absolutely legendary!
