	Put together 3 hand-assembled instruments and you get this piece. Electric Muse perform on the Russian Theremin (electronics from PAIA), and custom-designed PVC Didjeridoo and Percussion Trigger System.
	Credits: A collaboration of Electric Muse aka Shueh-li on the Theremin and Michael on the PVC Didj and Percussion Trigger simultaneously.
	Story Behind the Song This piece is arranged in such a way as to bare the raw sound and uniqueness of the 3 instruments. Except for a rhythmic bed towards the end of the piece, it was just the Theremin, PVC Didj, PVC Percussion Trigger, faults and all. In "The Timega Theory" (Singapore, FEB 2001)my Theremin died just a mere one hour before the show. Michael's Theremin, which I had to use, though also from PAIA, was entirely different in performance character and tonal quality. My phrasing and performance comfort was the most affected. It was very much like playing a completely new type of instrument.
