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 (gleam.io/g/8rBIG). 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!
We call on the worldwide #international community and on International #HumanRights organizations to take all steps and direct all of their efforts to prevent this military aggression and violation of the peace and security for the civilian population of #NK. #StrongArtsakh
