What is Virtual ANS?
Virtual ANS is a software simulator
of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS -
photoelectronic musical instrument created by Evgeny
Murzin from 1938 to 1958. The ANS made it possible
to draw music in the form of a spectrogram
(sonogram), without live instruments and performers.
It was used by Stanislav Kreichi, Alfred Schnittke,
Edward Artemiev and other Soviet composers in their
experimental works. You can also hear the sound of
the ANS in Andrei Tarkovsky's movies Solaris, The
Mirror, Stalker.
Virtual ANS is a free download for
Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. Donations are
welcome.
