| Description: | LEDOR AND UTHONIUM (aka LEADER AND ETHONIUM) Andre Ledor demonstrates his new musical invention - the Ethonium. Part of the HOMES TO HURD issue. Andre Ledor (aka Andrew Leader) and his new invention - the Ethonium (aka the Uthonium). Ledor's invention allows him to play any wireless as a musical instrument. Ledor places an piece of electrical apparatus in front of the wireless (the wireless is emitting static). By waving his hand between the wireless and the apparatus Ledor makes various wails and squeaks. He does a number of impressions, most bizarre of which is "a bee stinging a puppy". He then plays a haunting melody using the contraption - looks like a theremin. He waves his hand about as if he were playing an invisible harp. In his other hand he holds a wire. (This works like a Theremin) | |
