Soviet Electronic Music

Let's do this

Oh wow. 'Boris Tihomirov - Elektronnyi Budilnik'. What a track! And from 1985!

Artemiev is the fuckin man

if you've ever heard Coil's ANS album, there were a raft of Soviet composers who put pieces together using this machine. Some of these are incredible:

Oleg Buloshkin - Sacrament

The longest paper I wrote in college was about Soviet Cinema and the use of montage by Vertov and Eisenstein. It was for an upper division class and basically a mini-thesis class for history undergrads. As a side note I found out in my research Vertov actually experimented with the concept of music concrete in 1916 way before he made films; he called them "sound collages," way before it was anything close to being recorded properly.

He did record some stuff in 1929 and it was still ahead of it's time.

I was reading this thread before I went to bed yesterday and last night I had a dream that I was in my aunt's house going through old bookshelves and one of them was full of LPs and 45s of old Soviet stuff. It was a super-detailed dream as well, I could practically smell the record sleeves and everything.

Also, there's a pretty interesting software version of the ANS floating about: http://www.warmplace.ru/soft/ans/
