Stone Voices is the noncommercial project in the sphere of development of audiomusical technologies. Every day we put experiments, we work with a sound, we invent new musical technologies, advancing musical progress.

Short history

Initially the project was created in 1993 on the basis of joint Russian-American the SOVTEK enterprise, in its Novosibirsk branch, being engaged development and production of the electromusical equipment, in particular tube guitar amplifiers «СИБИРЬ» MIG-60 and MIG-120:

In those days Stone Voices was laboratory of a sound in case of the scientific and technological center of mechanical engineering (STCME) of the Novosibirsk electrovacuum plant (NEVZ). The staff of laboratory consisted of young technology professionals and musicians in one person, this is Vasily Makarov, Dmitry Terskikh, Alexey Peyko and Vladimir Abrosimov. Collective made prototypes of preamp on the basis of the lamps of defensive application which had extremely low level of intrinsic noises and the increased mechanical durability. Also different pedals of effects, in particular an overdrive «UNION», he released with a circulation about hundred pieces. Also some other musical electronic devices were developed, and also different prefixes for electric guitars, some products were released by limited circulation and realized through the Novosibirsk's first private musical shop «MUSIC LAND» in 1994-1996.

After closing of production of guitar tube amplifiers in 1996, Stone Voices was stimulated to be engaged in different projects in other areas. Only in 2003 one of founders of Stone Voices - Vasily Makarov, revived the project again, but from development of «iron» it was necessary to step aside the virtual audiomusical technologies. The virtual stend-elon the synthesizer of «MARAZMATOR» intended for creation of absolutely unpredictable sounds became first «swallow» in the new direction. In this synthesizer the principle of the multiplied modulation (variety of the frequency/phase shift keying) which is accidental opened by Vasily Makarov during the experiments is for the first time used.

In 2006 I was published a standalone synthesizer «PolџGAS2006», in which the previous practices were also used.

But I was engaged in more serious Stone Voices projects only in 2013 when it was decided to be justified in a distance from the large cities - sparsely populated terrain of the Sayansk foothills. In addition to the virtual audiomusical technologies we are also engaged in musical creativity and sound recording of material, manufacture of musical instrumen, and also we conduct researches in the field of a sound and music.

Stone Voices actively cooperates with many representatives of creativity (musicians, composers, audio engineers, sound producers, etc.), performing custom works on creation of the software used as a rule in the fields of the electronic and experimental music (Ambient, Chillout, Noise, Dub, Jungle, Drum'n'Bass, Trance and so forth), and also okolomuzykalny subject (learning programs, programs for design of music instruments, etc.). If you have to us any sentences in respect of activities, then communicate with us through the form of feedback or VK.
