Theremin Man performs "Music For The Aliens: A Journey Through Sound"

Outsiders and Others is excited to present a performance with Theremin Man in conjunction with our current exhibition, We Are Not Alone.

Theremin Man is here to celebrate World UFO Day with a performance of "Music For The Aliens: A Journey Through Sound."

Stephen Hamm, a legendary figure in Vancouver’s music and arts scene for over thirty years, is best known today as Theremin Man—a fearless explorer of sound whose performances center on the theremin, the rare electronic instrument played without touch.

Having cut his teeth in iconic Canadian bands like Slow, Canned Hamm, and Nardwuar and the Evaporators, Hamm has since carved out a singular path as a solo artist. His shows fuse theremin, synthesizer, and growling vocals into a genre-defying mix of electropop, space rock, and experimental soundscapes.

Hamm’s latest work, Songs of the Future, captures his vision, but it’s onstage where his artistry truly shines. Part concert, part performance art, his live avant garde shows take audiences on a psychedelic journey into new abstract dimensions—equal parts joyful, cosmic, and unforgettable.

With decades of innovation behind him and a relentless drive to push music forward, Stephen Hamm: Theremin Man invites listeners to step into the future of sound.

This is an in-person event and it's going to be a sonic adventure.

We look forward to seeing you!
