Beeping and weeping....

Clara Rockmore could be the moniker of late 20th century B-Girl in the vein of YoYo or JJ Fad.  In actual fact, it's the name of a devastatingly talented Lithuanian-born  theremin prodigy.  So, names can be deceiving.  

Rockmore's 1976 performance of Tchaikovsky's Valse Sentimentale is a piece of music guaranteed to send you into a misty-eyed reverie.

The theremin's electronic ice flow of sound is thawed by her elegant human touch.  

And as the picture in the video attests, she was also a pioneer of electroclash fashion. 

Here you can see Rockmore at work.  Elegantly marrying Old World sentiment with Futurist technology while her circuits gently weep...
