ELEKTRO MOSKVA is an essayistic documentary about the Soviet electronic age and its legacy. All the electronic instruments came into existence as a by-product of a rampant defense industry. Nowadays, those aged "musical coffins", as solidly made as a Kalashnikov, are being recycled and reinterpreted by the post-Soviet generations of musicians, sound collectors and circuit benders. (production note)
"On a western device, you push a button and get a result. On a Soviet instrument, you push a button and get something." (Richardas Norvila aka Benzo)
