The Theremin may be 90 years old, but it's still going strong and as curious as ever today. Designed by Russian scientist Professor Leon Theremin, the controlling is based on moving your hands within the fields of two metal antennae to get a unique electronic sound. Jean Michel Jarre (above) is one of the stalwarts of the instrument, while Led Zeppelin, Portishead and The Flaming Lips are amongst the countless acts who have used it in the past.
