The history of the formation and current state of the krasnoyarsk electronic scene

Abstract

In this article, for the first time, an attempt is made to examine the history of the formation of the Krasnoyarsk electronic scene, analyze the structural components of the designated concept, and characterize its current state in qualitative and quantitative terms. For ease of analysis, the authors have broken down the problem into a number of aspects and examined it step by step in the following steps: 1) historical conditions that paved the way for the development of electronic music in the region; 2) the state of the local material and technical base of modern high-tech art of sound; 3) individual creative units that make up the community or creative environment of the Krasnoyarsk electronic scene. Information about Krasnoyarsk composers and performers, collected from disparate sources and systematized, is based on the materials of the authors’ own databases, which they have been forming for along time. This information is absolutely new, as it has not been published in scientific publications before. As a result, the authors conclude that today there is a distinctive electronic scene in Krasnoyarsk and the region, which has great potential for further qualitative development, but it is quite fragmented and is still at alow level of organization.
