A bit of additional info - Dennis James is a student of Clara Rockmore and owns an RCA Victor theremin restored by Bob Moog. See here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_James_(musician)).

I saw Aelita, Queen of Mars in the UK last year (Feb 24th) accompanied by Lydia Kavina (theremin) Alexei Borisov (electronics) and Sergei Letov (sax, flute.) See here (http://www.russianlondon.ru/newspaper/anons/expo/39629/).

In the same year (Feb 9th) it was screened in Philadelphia accompanied by Anthony Jay Ptak and others. See here (http://www.thereminworld.com/news.asp?s=685).

[i]Aelita[/i] is an early Russian sci-fi with Futurist sets, based on a novel of the same name by Tolstoy. (Aleksey Nikolayevich, not Leo.) See here (http://www.ce-review.org/00/1/kinoeye1_horton.html).
