The solo instrument that produces the melody in the title music is a theremin. It was invented by Russian scientist, Professor Leon Theremin, and was first demonstrated in 1920. It pre-dates the modern synthesizer by about fifty years but its uniqueness stems from the fact that it is played without actually being touched. Its electronic circuits are controlled by two antennas, left and right of the instrument, towards which the player moves his or her hands. The closer the right hand to one antenna, the higher the pitch. Similarly the proximity of the left hand to the other antenna controls the volume. The theremin has a range well in excess of eight octaves, going right down to zero, and is capable of all kinds of strange effects. These sounds have been put to use in science fiction and other films including Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945). This unique instrument has also been used on The Beach Boys' song 'Good Vibrations'.
