Swedish composer/thereminplayer performs his
own instrumental music on the theremin.

Pekkanini has now more than 170 000 video views on YouTube.

The theremin was invented in 1919 and became the first electronic musical instrument that had a career in the XX-century and it is still the only instrument which can be played without any mechanical touching. The theremin-player moves his hands near two antennas. The proximity of the right hand to the vertical antenna changes the electromagnetic field thus changing the pitch of the sound over a six-octave range and the left hand controls the volume.

2010 Pekkanini won the London based competition The Peoples Music Awards.

Pekkanini composed the music for the Swedish set of Bernard Pomerance's "The Elephant Man" directed by Kajsa Bramsvik .
It opened at Moomsteatern in Malmoe, Sweden in the spring of 2007.
