Guest Blogger, Allen!
Hey friends and family.
Last week I got to go to a conference in Oxford. Oxford is pretty awesome
for those of you who haven't been there before. Here are a few highlights,
although I am not really the best photographer...
This was
the guest house where I stayed. My windows are open on the top floor on the
right....
The Pitt
Rivers is a super cool Anthropology Museum with literally TONS of stuff in a
really small space - really fun to explore. And they had a cool musical
instrument collection!
The view
of Christ Church college from across the lawn by a river. A lovely place
for a walk and I really got lucky with the weather!
Last but
not least, at the Gala Dinner there was a Theremin Recital!!!! Link to Video:
For those who don't know what a Theremin is, it is an electronic musical instrument that allows you to control the sound by manipulating an electro-magnetic field. You don't have to touch anything! that said, you still have to have very precise movements and it takes a lot of skill and practice. Apologies that the video is a bit shaky for the first 30 seconds while I was getting settled with my phone - and the volume is really low so you need to turn up your speakers.
Enjoy!
