Publisher Description Various styles and techniques of composition were experimented with and developed by avant-garde composers during the early 20th century. In this regard, Nicolas Borisovich Obouhow (1892–1954) plays a significant role as a composer who experimented, very early, with a 12-tone system and electronic sounds. His innovative ideas were not only a response to the Russian avant-garde movement but were also part of the wider international search for new means and techniques of composition. For Obouhow, art facilitated and advanced his mystical search, and his views on music place him in a broader international cultural context associated with the occult and a belief in the transcendental power of sound. The story of Obouhow and his life-long quest, through his craft, for peace and unity in a world destabilised by the upheavals of the 20th century is not just the curious tale of a maverick migr of bygone, tumultuous days. He embarked on his search more than a century ago, and his journey is still relevant today
