Hear this: Retro instruments as performance art

The exhibit, Odd Harmonics at Judith Charles Gallery in downtown Manhattan, is a collaboration with Moog Music and Butterscotch Records to celebrate the launch of the label. Chambard’s theremins are fanciful interpretations of the instrument with whimsical colours and retro-style woodwork.

The quirky visual aesthetic of the Odd Harmonics theremins, and the objects themselves, are bold, playful and on the flamboyant side. For more on how designers are seeking comfort in kitsch culture, read our Neo Kitsch design direction.
