REVIEWS and COMMENTS
Rosser is among today's elite players.
- William Weir, The Hartford Courant

...one of the top ten Theremin artists in the world today.
His technique, and intonation are truly remarkable...very entertaining...dramatic and humorous...I have never seen anyone quite like him.

Mr. Rosser, whose white East Indian garb and benignly insane smile brought to mind Peter Sellers in "The Party", is a virtuoso of the evening's titular instrument. Mr. Anderson, wild-eyed and clad in a black Napoleonic uniform, provides piano accompaniment. The show consists of musical selections alternating with scenes of dialogue... mixing philosophical and scientific ponderings with intelligently absurd banter. The pair have a fantastic chemistry.

...undeniably captivating.

Your presence and presentation were very much appreciated, not only by me and the Board of Tesla Science Center, but also by the attendees of the conference who had the good fortune to hear and see you perform. It was a pleasure to hear your musical performance. I’m sure the audience would agree. The children, and the child in each of us, were delighted... We believe we can count the conference a great success, in part because your performance was so enjoyable.
- Jane Alcorn, President, Tesla Science Center

The audience was utterly mesmerized (the appropriate word) by his playing and utterly charmed by his openness in talking about the physics involved. I cannot recommend him too highly.

A Kip Rosser performance is more than just music, it's good theatre. Unlike a lot of thereminists, Kip doesn't just wave his arms around...he makes music.
- WFMU Radio, 91.1 FM, NJ

Your presentation was interesting and funny, and you fully conveyed your passion for working with students and opening their minds to the world of music and musical expression.

What one loves about New York is that one can meet a guy like Kip around the corner. One wouldn't expect the magic coming out of Kip's theremin till he turns it on, yet one would know he is a great guy the moment one looks in his eyes. Working with Kip is a straightforward process: at every step one gets more than one expected. A friend of mine, my mentor in my music career and one of the most respectable "ears" I've ever met, told me after we listened to the takes Kip recorded for "Remember": "Hey, we've got a real musician here". And yes, of course, add to the equation the joy of a noble instrument, like the theremin, and you'll be transported to a very cool experience. Kip sent me his takes after I left New York. The working process at a distance was much more gratifying than many recordings I've done in person. Communication is clear, he works fast. He gets to the point. He grabs the feeling immediately. All I can say is this: I'm glad we'll have the chance to keep on working together. I'm happy New York gives me this kind of surprises.

Thanks so much for being there... you contributed so much to the success of the day. Your great personality and your interest in people were assets in addition to your theremin.
- 2010 Festival of Electronic Arts

One of the most unique, challenging events Passage Theatre has presented. Kip is a unique artist and musician who is never at a loss for original ideas. I don't hesitate in giving him my full support.
- David White, Assoc. Artistic Director, Passage Theatre, Trenton, NJ

I have no words to express my gratitude. You did a terrific job and your energy/enthusiasm/professionalism were great assets to the performance!
- Thomas Deneuville, Composer
World Premier of "Tombeau sur le Nom de Messiaen"

Not only does Kip Rosser provide a stunning performance, he also engages chilldren with the theremin's history, as well as tantalizing stories about the instrument and its inventor. Families listened and looked in awe.
- Anna Van Scoyoc, Reference Librarian, Mercer County Library System.

You really have made a great work in there, and I cant be any more thankful. I am really amazed about how it sounds, and your recording skills, and I am really happy I have picked you and worked with you. I am really satisfied from the outcome of your recordings, and I have really really enjoyed working with you, as your pieces worked very well in the mix. Since we reached here, I would like to thank you for your hard work.and I am glad and happy, and of course honored to work with Kip Rosser himself.

This brilliant showman is an angel who does not fear to go where other angels shy away. When a real talent comes along with the sensitivity and imagination such as he displays I can only rejoice. He possesses a remarkable ability to produce serial staccato and come in on each adjacent note with uncanny precision. No one else that I have ever heard can do this -- startling ability where the theremin is concerned.
- Howard Mossman, Engineer and Builder of original 1929 RCA Theremins

The audience was enthralled. Kip Rosser's show was intriguing, educational and very entertaining. It was enjoyed by a group with a wide variety of tastes.
- Laverne Miller, Arbor Glen Retirement Community, Oldbridge, NJ

I know everyone shared my delight in your performance. Your discussion of the life of Mr. Theremin over dinner was a bonus.
- John A. Dierdorff, Acting Secretary, The Coffee House, NYC

Startlingly beautiful demonstrations of the Theremin's eerie musicality... it's indeed like hearing the music of the spheres
- Backstage

Kip Rosser is the Steve Martin of the Theremin. A new cultural phenomenon.
- Dr. Alex Magoun, Director, Sarnoff Library and Museum, Princeton

Rosser is a playwright and director, and a highly talented actor... the show provides a rare opportunity to see a theremin being played with equal measures of skill and humor.
-Hy Bender, hyreviews.com

He did a wonderful job! It was very dramatic... he performed two movements of Villa-Lobos's virtuosic Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5. The audience loved it and ate the whole thing up!
- Olivia Mattis, Musicologist and Author' - Ridotto Concert Series

Kip Rosser is much more than a theremin enthusiast. When I sat back to listen to him play during our session, I heard a musician with a total mastery of the instrument's language. Not only did Kip play all of the material I had prepared, he performed it with ease and emotional intensity. On top of all this, I found in Mr. Rosser a genuine colleague who is extremely passionate about his various interests. A true original.

My professor Lou Jacob once told me 'Always work with people smarter than you.' Kip Rosser is unlike anyone I've worked with before because he truly is ahead of me in his process and keeps my work moving forward. As a director, I often feel like I need to be a leader that sets an example for others in terms of style or content. However, working with Kip is, for me, a true collaboration, because I trust that he is doing his work to a caliber that is equal to or even far beyond that which I expect of myself. In addition to his work ethic, Kip's theremin music [for my film] is imaginative and innovative in a way that I haven't before seen. He introduced me to an instrument and visual vocabulary that I had no idea existed and which now can become a part of my directing aesthetic. His intriguing work is a gift to any director.
- Sabina Ptasnik, Film and Stage Director

I was immediately drawn to the manner in which he approached instruction. Kip displayed the acuity needed to assist someone when dealing with such an abstract instrument. His astuteness quickly took me from interested to apprentice.
- Amanda B. Valvano - Music Therapist

It is unfortunate Leon Theremin isn't with us to appreciate your engaging tribute to his contribution to music and electronics.
- Bill Mozer - Vice President, Long Island Wireless Historical Society

A superb musician who has dedicated himself to a rare and wonderful instrument that is a bear to master!
