There are other great instruments that are similar to the theremin. The Beach Boys used a similar device called the Tannerin on songs like Good Vibrations and Wild Honey.
The Ondes Martenot while being completely different in design has a very similar sound as well and was also popular to use in old sci fi and horror films....

Your mentioning of "Music From the Body" by Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and others led me to look up the music. I learned that this soundtrack for a human body documentary
does include a lot of "biomusic," like you said (slaps, breathing, laughing, whispering, flatulence, etc.).
Here's a pretty song from
Roger Waters "Music From The Body" that includes a tiny bit of biomusic (breezes, birdsong). Warning: the video shows a nipple and....BODY HAIR! Bwaa haaa haaaaaaa!
(Just when you thought you were safe, boo boo!)
Pop music could use more natural instruments (nature sounds) like this song does:
