Virtual ANS album

The new album using only Virtual ANS is released:
Upon Awakening, the Architect Imagined 69 Stairwells by Fleshy Timeclock
Enjoy it!
Virtual ANS (ANS - the abbreviation for "Alexandr Nicolaevitch Skryabin", the great Russian composer) is the software simulator of the unique Russian optical synthesizer, developed by a scientist E. Mursin in the years 1937-1957.
Another good news is that i'm working on the new version of Virtual ANS right now - rewritten from scratch, much more powerful, cross-platform (Windows, Linux, OSX, Android, iOS) and optimized for real-time playing. And of course you can speed up ANS development by making a donation.
