Therevox

Therevox builds custom musical instruments in Ontario, Canada. The company focuses on continuous-pitch instruments and is known for building a modern analog synthesizer inspired by the rare Ondes Martenot.^[1]

First commissioned in 2004 to build modern version of the Electro-Theremin as used by The Beach Boys on their 1966 single "Good Vibrations", only 12 of these instruments went to musicians and studios in North America and Europe.^[2] In 2010, Therevox was commissioned by Montreal's Breakglass Studio^[3] to design a new instrument that would combine the Ondes Martenot's au ruban and touche d’intensité interface with a dual oscillator analog synthesizer similar to the MiniMoog.^[4] The design included a built-in Spring Reverb and this prototype became the ET-4 ^[5] model that has been available since 2012.

Some artists to feature the ET-4 include The Besnard Lakes, Belle & Sebastian, Brad Mehldau, Yann Tiersen, The Decemberists, Suuns, The Veils, Team Me, Iron & Wine, Floating Points, Sharon Van Etten, Joan Shelley (played by Jeff Tweedy), The Gertrudes, Chelsea Wolfe, Klô Pelgag, Wintersleep and Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit. The instrument has been a feature of OneRepublic's Native Tour and the ET-4 has also been used on soundtracks for Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale (TV series), Bad Banks, The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley and horror film Nurse 3D starring Paz de la Huerta and the Salvatore Ferragamo inspired "White Shoe".^[4]
