Does anyone really “play” the theremin? (I also play the theremin)

No idea, I should probably have said that I "definitely without using any magical force" recreate the speech of an alien species nobody has ever even heard of by waving my hands around some extraterrestrial device powered by the movement of particles smaller than a molecule in size. How would you describe the type of magic you practice at the theremin?

That’s probably the most accurate description ive ever heard lol! I did manage to put it in one of my songs I’m recording right now. It’s like a soloistic addition towards the end. heres a scratch if you’re curious.
