The talking/singing theremin project I worked on made it to the semifinals in the Guthman Musical Instruments Competition. Would be grateful if you can take 2 seconds to vote for it here (https://t.co/44BiCZrxcN). No signup needed. Thanks! :-)

Spent several months in #Armenia earlier this year. Sad about the violence in #Artsakh/NK. Hope international community can help mediate peaceful talks!
