Neveramin

In 1920, a young Russian physicist named Léon Theremin was experimenting with radio proximity sensors when he stumbled onto something stranger: by moving his hands near two antennas, he could conjure a ghostly, continuous tone out of thin air — no keys, no strings, no touch at all. The theremin became the world's first widely-known electronic instrument, and still one of its strangest: a voice played entirely on empty space, its pitch and volume shaped only by how close your hands drift to a pair of antennas. RCA sold a home version in 1929. It scored decades of science-fiction film. It captivated everyone who ever stood in front of one and couldn't quite believe the sound was real. NEVERAMIN is that same idea, rebuilt around a camera instead of radio antennas. Wave left and right and the pitch bends across four octaves. Move your hand toward the lens and the tone swells; pull back and it fades — the same touchless, gestural performance Theremin invented over a hundred years ago, minus the vacuum tubes, the antenna calibration, and the price tag of an original or replica instrument. All it needs is the camera already in your pocket. For modern musicians, that's the real shift. The theremin has always been one of the most physically expressive instruments ever built, and also one of the least accessible — rare hardware, a notoriously steep learning curve, decades of virtuosos you can count on two hands. Neveramin puts that same gesture-controlled expression in reach of anyone experimenting with sound design, ambient textures, live looping, or simply curious what a century-old idea feels like under their own hands today. HOW IT WORKS Press the NEVERAMIN button to start. The app photographs your surroundings for a moment — keep your hands out of frame — then tracks any motion against that reference. No machine learning, no photo library access, nothing ever leaves your device. Three sensitivity faders (X, Y, Z) tune how strongly each axis of movement responds, from subtle vibrato to full-range sweeps. AUTOTUNE Snap your pitch to a scale instead of playing freehand. Choose any of the 12 keys, major or minor, plus a speed control for how quickly each note glides into tune. It's a pure pitch-quantization trick, not audio pitch-shifting, so it adds no latency — it feels as immediate as the raw theremin underneath it. SPACE ECHO An analog-style feedback delay with mix, time, and feedback controls, voiced to sound like a warm tape echo rather than a clean digital repeat. Push the feedback up and it self-oscillates — on purpose. CIRCUIT BENDING Three unlabeled toggles inspired by the DIY circuit-bending scene: an inductor-style lowpass filter, a mildly saturating transformer stage, and a 555-timer-style tremolo — small, chaotic modifications in the spirit of musicians who've always taken electronics apart to find new sounds hiding inside. Neveramin doesn't collect data, doesn't require an internet connection, and doesn't put anything between you and the instrument. Just a camera, your hands, and a hundred years of electronic music history, reduced to a single button.

The app for record collectors and vinyl DJs. A service you will find nowhere else, built around discovering your next record. DiggerPocket is not just a price checker. It is a toolbox for people who collect vinyl and DJs who play it. Share your shelves with diggers around the world, compare the lowest prices across the major marketplaces at a glance, and tap into BPM data measured and pooled by users — numbers no catalog can give you. There is also a world map of record shops and vinyl bars. Features that never lived in one place before, together in one app. ■ Your crate, in your pocket Your collection and wantlist sync both ways with Discogs. What you own and what you are hunting, right there in the shop. No more doubles bought by mistake, no more walking past the record you spent two years chasing. Your wantlist shows the lowest price currently listed. ■ The BPM no catalog has Discogs knows the label, the year and the matrix — but not the tempo. Measure it once and it stays with the record: your number, next to numbers from diggers worldwide who timed the same pressing. Records nobody has timed carry an estimate, drawn in gray with its source named, so it never passes for a reading someone took. ■ Setlists that flow Build sets from your own shelf. Place one record and your crate re-orders itself around it — closest tempo first, with the BPM gap at every transition. Keep a record of what you played and where, and sketch the next night in advance. ■ Identify a record in seconds Point your camera at a sleeve. Hold your phone up to whatever is playing. Type a title. Share straight from Instagram or YouTube. Then see current prices side by side across Discogs, eBay, CDandLP and MusicStack — plus previews of every track. ■ Dig through legendary DJ mixes DJ-Kicks, FabricLive — the tracklists of mixes built from records, turned into lists you can dig through. Every track is a real pressing. Check the going rate on the spot and send it to your wantlist. Filter by genre. ■ Where to dig next Record shops and listening bars worldwide, on one map, with genres, hours and photos. Found one we do not have? Add it yourself. ■ With diggers everywhere Friends can browse each other's shelves — same sorting, same dividers as your own. Messages come with reactions and translation, so whatever you receive, you can read it in your language. Whether they are in Tokyo, London or Berlin. ■ What other diggers are hunting The records being searched for around the world right now. Who is searching stays private. Free.
