The Music Box I’ve Always Dreamed Of - I am a theremin performer and composer.
As the theremin is a monophonic instrument, it often requires accompaniment—typically piano or guitar. However, I’ve always been especially fond of pairing it with music boxes.
Over the years, I’ve explored many types, including disc music boxes and punched-roll models. Yet I continued to long for a high-precision, auto-playing music box that could handle more complex performances.
The Muro Box-N40 turned out to be exactly that. It offers beautiful tone, excellent stability, and precise expression through advanced control. Even real-time performance using a MIDI keyboard is possible, with virtually no latency.
I genuinely believe this is a revolutionary instrument.
In my latest video, I perform Debussy’s Rêverie as a duet with the Muro Box-N40 and theremin. The result was everything I had hoped for.
From now on, I look forward to continuing my musical journey with this remarkable partner.
