Did you notice that there were quite a few other artists there at YouTube that use the theremin? Some were totally new to me and I will be checking them out. It has been used a lot for soundtracks for various TV shows and movies. Are you old enough to remember "Dark Shadows" the daytime Gothic serial centered around a vampire named Barnabas Collins? The theme music and much of the other music was theremin music. Very eerie and other wordly. The theremin was the original electronic musical instrument and it's inventor; Russian physicist Lev Sergeivich Termen (also known as Leon Theremin), was the first inductee into the TECnology Hall of Fame.

Did you listen to the Tomita tracks. What is so amazing about them is that they were put together long before computers made such compositions easy. In those days, the sounds were recorded on tape and then after much splicing, a composition was produced. Tomita was the best in his day and is still held in great esteem in Japan. Interestingly enough, The Ventures are still major stars there also and do tours there to this day.
