VIDEO: Murzin's ANS Synthesizer in action

This video's in Russian, a language I'm still trying to learn, so I can't translate well, but at least you get to hear the thing:

About: http://theremin.ru/archive/ans.htm; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANS_synthesizer

This is the creation of the engineer Evgeny Murzin, built between 1937 and 1957; the initials ANS are those of the composer Alexander N. Scriabin himself. It operates on photoelectronic sensors and a range of 720 microtonal pitches, 72 per octave.

Wild. When you finally get to hear it, it reminds me a lot of a free app that has been around for a while, Coagula:
