Фестиваль советской электронной музыки

Development of technology is necessary for the development of electronic music. In the USSR, many talented inventors presented their ingenious devices to the world, opening up new possibilities for musicians. This is how the Variophone electro-optical synthesizer was invented by Eugene Sholpo.

The tool uses rotating discs, they spin, the camera photographs a beam of light passing through the slits and prints the image onto the film. The result is «graphic sound» tracks. These images are passed through a sound projector, which converts them into sound.

The identity of this festival is based on the principle of filling space with «tracks» from graphics in the form of rotating discs and typography.
