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...
