I have and enjoy Ninki V's Christmas EP, but I didn't know about the puppets!

Yep... she has a little "skeleton" marionette type puppet -- about a foot high.

Ninki's arrangements of some Christmas tunes including "The Angel Gabriel", "Silent Night", and "Lullay Lullay" are fresh, creative, and entertaining. Each piece is treated like an electronic "etude" and in the case of "Gabriel" and "Lullay", her musical settings capture the text. In "Gabriel", often it is accompanied with harp glissandi to suggest the angel spreading his wings -- Ninki uses flourishes on the Theremin.
And, in Lullay, the intensity of the interpretation matches the words: "Herod the King, in his raging...".

Perhaps she will perform within a stone's throw of the midwest USA sometime...
