Theremidi Orchestra (TO) is an audiovisual DIY community initiated by participants of the Theremini and Teremidi physical interface workshop, organised by Ljudmila – Ljubljana Digital Media Lab in May 2011.Rather than a subject, TO is a verb, an ongoing workshop of noise and drone production.

This hands-on electro noise ensemble exists in the present continuous, while referring to the history of electronic music. TO has a DIY/DIWO approach in making music and sound experiments, developing its own instruments based on open-source electronic circuits.

Currently TO consists of nine active members, coming from different professional backgrounds. Theremidi Orchestra is a process of mutual understanding and solving problems in a horizontal manner. The process of production involves experimenting with sound outputs, mutual composition of music scores, shared responsibilities for individual parts of the process, etc.

Thus far, the orchestra performed, exhibited and held workshops at over thirty festivals and exhibitions such as: Eyebeam in New York; Maker Fair in New York; Piksel Festival in Bergen Norway; LiWoLi Festival in Linz, Austria; PoolLoop in Zürich, Switzerland; U3: Triennial of Contemporary Art, Museum of Contemporary Art in Ljubljana, Slovenia, to name just a few.

Currently active members of the Theremidi Orchestra are: Dušan Zidar, Ida Hiršenfelder, Dare Pejić, Luka Frelih, Tina Dolinšek, Robertina Šebjanič, Tilen Sepić, Simon Bergoč, Saša Spačal.

Theremidi Orchestra all stars: Ida Hiršenfelder, Dare Pejić, Tina Dolinšek, Borut Savski, Robertina Šebjanič, Isac Petruzzi, Saša Spačal, Matic Urbanija, Dušan Zidar, Ian Soroka, Luka Frelih, Tilen Sepič and Simon Bergoč.

Theremidi Orchestra (TO) je avdiovizualna DIY skupnost, ki so jo ustanovili udeleženci delavnice Theremini in Teremidi – fizični vmesniki, ki jo je maja 2011 organiziral Ljudmila – Ljubljana Digital Media Lab.

Namesto subjekta je TO glagol – je nenehno razvijajoča se delavnica ustvarjanja šuma in dronov.

Ta praktični elektro-šumni ansambel obstaja v sedanjiku, hkrati pa se navezuje na zgodovino elektronske glasbe. TO deluje po principih DIY/DIWO (Do It Yourself / Do It With Others – naredi sam / naredi skupaj z drugimi) pri ustvarjanju glasbe in zvočnih eksperimentov ter razvija lastna glasbila na osnovi odprtokodnih elektronskih vezij.

Trenutno TO sestavlja devet aktivnih članov in članic z različnimi strokovnimi ozadji. Theremidi Orchestra je proces vzajemnega razumevanja in skupnega reševanja problemov na horizontalen način. Proces produkcije vključuje eksperimentiranje z zvočnimi izhodi, skupno komponiranje glasbenih struktur, deljenje odgovornosti za posamezne dele procesa itd.

Do danes je orkester nastopal, razstavljal in izvajal delavnice na več kot tridesetih festivalih in razstavah, med drugim v: Eyebeam, Maker Faire, Piksel Festival, LiWoLi Festival, PoolLoop, ter na U3: Trienalu sodobne umetnosti v Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, med drugim.

Aktivni člani in članice Theremidi Orchestra so:

Dušan Zidar, Ida Hiršenfelder, Dare Pejić, Luka Frelih, Tina Dolinšek, Robertina Šebjanič, Tilen Sepić, Simon Bergoč in Saša Spačal.
