If you're a fan of the cinematic universe, this is a Great Big Story for you! These strange devices are used in big budget cinematic scores and video games like Cyberpunk 2077. A small team of dedicated engineers called @somasynths_subchannel based in Warsaw, Poland and led by sound visionary @somasynths are hard at work creating beautiful hand-made musical instruments. But you won’t get any old tune out of them, in fact, it’s quite hard to control what comes out of them most of the time. They create harsh shrieks and noises, yet they’re loved by musicians all over the world. Here's why Vlad’s unusual approach to music creation is catching on...

What a great guy Vlad is! The LYRA-8 is such a compex drone synthesizer. It almost feels like it lives. I´m absolutely in Love with his work.

This episode has to have one of the coolest title cards on GBS. It makes Vlad look like a guy who turned down being a Bond villain so he could bring synthesizer joy to humanity instead.

An incredible role model for an approach to totem, craft, instrument and essentially all product design notions. This guy is a mentor, teacher, shaman, artist, musician, reverse engineer, engineer, architect, philosopher, journalist, researcher, medium and much much more.

Their entire catalogue is some of the most interesting and wild instruments out there. Thanks for sharing! More musicians and artists should be aware of Vlad.

I'm a lifelong musician, but have relatively little experience with synths. I got a Lyra-8 several years ago after seeing some videos, and it's like nothing else I've ever owned or played. It can sound beautiful, or hideous, but it is always alive in the way it interacts with your fingers. A lot of things get called "zen" but the way that the Lyra causes you to slow down and notice exactly what's happening right this very moment fits the description better than most.

I think I played the instrument from the preview of this video! Once when I was driving home from a bar and got pulled over by the police, they had a similar wind instrument, but when I tried to play it, it didn't make a sound. Maybe I wasn't blowing hard enough, so the cops kept repeating, "Blow harder, blow harder." But when I finished blowing, the synthesizer finally started making a sound, a loud and obnoxious beep. Of course, I'm not 100% sure it was that exact instrument, I couldn't get a good look at it in the dark, and I don't remember that day very well at all.

He's got some instruments that have been in development for years for which I've been on the waitlist. Truly a shining star among designers.

Thanks to synthesizers, we have banger genres, including some interesting genres such as Dungeon Synth and Dino Synth.
