Andrey Smirnov's account of sound and electronic music in early 20th century Russia offers an engaging introduction to some of the key figures and their work, including Arseny Avraamov's open-air performance of 1922, Solomon Nikritin's Projection Theatre; Alexei Gastev, the polymath who coined the term 'bio-mechanics'; film maker Dziga Vertov, director of the Laboratory of Hearing and the Symphony of Noises; and Vladimir Popov, the pioneer of Noise and inventor of Sound Machines. Shedding new light on better-known figures such as Leon Theremin, the publication also investigates the work of a number of pioneers of electronic sound. Sound in Z documents an extraordinary and largely forgotten chapter in the history of music and audio technology.
