Exhibition of Soviet color-music devices
The idea of color music appeared at the end of the 19th century.It was proposed by the composer Alexander Nikolaevich Skryabin, who formulated the concept of "musical-color synesthesia" or "color hearing" - as he called the ability to associate music with color and light. Dozens of years later, Soviet engineers embodied his idea and built an entire industry - and among the youth of the 80s, a fashion was born for home-made color and music equipment. In those years, more than 70 devices were mass-produced in the USSR. Some of them were experimental and never went on sale.
