The Theremin / DRSSTC Project

Watching an old sci-fi martian movie this past weekend has inspired 
me to explore the possibility of using a Theremin device to control 
the output of a DRSSTC system.  I plan on designing
a system which can independently control both pitch (PRF) and arc 
length (volume) of the DRSSTC by simply moving your hands around the 
Theremin device.  The only question mark is
how it will interact with the fields generated by the DRSSTC 
itself.  That i won't know until i actually build the device and do 
the testing.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed, so if it works, it
will be pretty darn sweet!

For those who don't know what a Theremin is, here is some information 
here on it:
