The ANS was used by Stanislav Kreichi, Alfred Schnittke, Edison Denisov, Sofia Gubaidulina, and other Soviet composers. Edward Artemiev wrote many of his scores of the movies of Andrei Tarkovsky with the help of the ANS. Notably is Artemiev’s score of Tarkovsky’s Solaris in which the ANS was used to abstract, sci-fi effect akin to ambient music.

When I was studing something about Beatles mixing procedures, about the art of a true guru like George Martin and EMI Maida Vale studios, for my “How to measure the sky” album, I came across this rare document that I share with you.
In this video, in which Beatles producer George Martin and his son Giles, as well as George Harrison’s son Dhani, are listening to the source tracks from this wonderful song, and unexpectedly discover a take of George’s guitar that never made it into the final mix. A rare and magic moment! …and a bit ‘of envy! <;)
