Joe’s Pub is a nightclub/bar/theater venue for New Yorkers of all ages. Halloween night is special: out come the theremins for a little spookiness to add to your dinner. Meanwhile, outside, and a few blocks down, you have the world renown Halloween parade, and chances are while walking the streets you’ll see a lot of fake blood and some very interesting costumes. If they are costumes. After all, this is the Village. (Greenwich Village)

Meanwhile, inside, the usually great burgers are being served (it was a busy night and many orders were incorrect), but (cousin) Rob Schwimmer and Dorit Chrysler, from Austria, are here to represent what the theremin can do. A theremin is a radio-wave instrument and no, it’s not a vitamin.

The theremin is played with hand movements. The hand touches … nothing.

And now for Rob Schwimmer …

Rob plays his musical accompaniment to The Fall of the House of Usher. Concentrate on the perfection of the audio.
