"To play, the player moves his hands around the antennas, controlling frequency (pitch) and amplitude (volume). The theremin is associated with "alien", surreal, and eerie-sounding portamento, glissando, tremolo, and vibrato sounds, due to its use in soundtracks such as Spellbound, The Lost Weekend, Metroid Prime, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks! (together with the Ondes-Martenot and pre-recorded Theremin samples)[4] and The Day the Earth Stood Still. "
