- Theremin Center
The Theremin Center for Electroacoustic Music was created in
Moscow ,Russia in 1992 by the group of musicians and computer scientists, under the leadership of Andrey Smirnov. It was named forLeon Theremin - Russian inventor of theTheremin , one of the first widely used electronic musical instruments.The Theremin Center aims to achieve a co-operation of musicians, artists, scientists, and technologists who are oriented toward realization of experimental artistic projects. We envision the centre as a base from which to carry out interdisciplinary research in such fields as
computer music ,electroacoustic music ,interactive systems,multimedia , includingdance ,visual arts etc., as well as a centre for the development and creation of innovative programs, technical devices and techniques.From the start the Theremin Center was intended to operate on a non-profit basis and most services and equipment were donated by the founders and sponsors of the Theremin Center. Professor
Jon Appleton founded the International Advisory Board and helped in developing the Theremin Center and establishing continuous relationships within the international musical and scientific communities.TheMoscow State Conservatory has provided space. It was a part of the Sound Recording and Musical Acoustics Laboratory - the place where in 1960sLeon Theremin was conducting his research. Since 2005 Theremin Center became a part of Electroacoustic Center at Moscow State Conservatory.People
