BBC Radio's The Sound Hunter and the ANS Machine

Fascinating. The ANS was developed by Russian engineer Evgeny Murzin from 1937 - 1957. You draw on the surface to produce sounds similar to a theremin. The worlds first touch interface? Title link takes you to the BBC session. For more on the ANS, see Wikipedia. Also check out The Moscow Altermedium Electronic Music Festival. Via this post on electro-music.com.



Update via the comments:

"Coil did a full album using nothing but the ANS, well worth checking out.
