About SOMA
SOMA was established by Vlad Kreimer, a radio engineer and a musician who lived in Donetsk, Ukraine, and later moved to Moscow, Russia, after war broke out in the city. Earlier Vlad made hi grade studio and audiophile equipment, as well as created unusual synthesizers and music equipment for his music project. After the demo for LYRA sparked the interest of the synthesizer community, he

has decided to start massive production of these synthesizers...

The philosophy behind the instrument was met with support and understanding by the musicians, which motivates to further create a line of electronic music instruments based on similar ideas and approaches.

SOMA SHAPES: where instruments become images.

Our designer Aleksandra Twarowska turned close details of SOMA instruments into abstract photographic works: mirrored, fragmented, transformed. Functional objects reappear as visual structures that suggest movement, rhythm, and the behavior of sound waves.

The philosophy behind it? The same one that drives SOMA: unpredictability, experimentation, and the creative potential of chaos.

«Soma Shapes» earned an Honorable Mention at the Fine Art Photography Awards 2025-2026. Proof that the SOMA universe goes far beyond sound 🔥

This piece is built around the original preset Bank 2, Sensor D — three mono synthesizers driven by a monophonic keyboard, including its tuning.

The rhythmic base comes from Steve Reich’s Clapping Music: the left hand holds the original pattern in its original form, while the right hand runs the same rhythm shifted by two beats.

PULSAR-23: 1984 is now available worldwide via SOMA EU 💜

This edition was a year in the making, a collaboration between SOMA Laboratory, The Midium®, and new SOMA engineer Noah Jolly. The name and aesthetic is a sign of the times: bare metal, red lights, angry.

Under the hood, it's not just a colorway. The Bass Drum has been completely redesigned. Featuring a new oscillator producing an asymmetrically clipped triangle wave that can be driven all the way to a square wave via the Drive k**b, the BD is more aggressive than ever. The Tune range is wider than on the standard model, and the OMG pin is now an AC-coupled FM input. The Bass section features a new filter inspired by the Polivoks: raw, alive, and a little unruly in the best way.

On the outside: bare steel chassis with clear coat, all-red LEDs, black soft case, red/white/black alligator cables. Each unit ships with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

The NET price (excl. VAT, shipping, customs, money transfer):
→ for the Turret version: 2.100 Euros
→ for the Screw version: 1.700 Euros

The 1984 edition also includes a user-swappable BD module from the original PULSAR design!
Optional accessories: Plastic cover (75 Euros net).

US customers, you're covered too, grab yours via SOMA Laboratory US Division or The Midium.

This piece is built from rhythmic vocabulary and translated into an electronic, melodic performance using the 3FM Synth algorithm.

It begins with a groove based on the paradiddle sticking pattern, played across two sensors with the right hand. At the same time, the left hand creates a backbeat on counts 2 and 4, with additional variations that shape a kick-and-snare feel.

The next section draws from Afro-Cuban rhythmic structures. The right hand introduces a 2-3 son clave together with a cascara pattern, which then develops into a series of variations while keeping the original pulse intact.

In the middle section, the phrasing shifts into groups of 3-3-3-4, creating a different sense of motion and tension. This pattern is transposed live with the Pitchshifter buttons, while the left hand plays a 3-2 rumba clave underneath.
From there, the piece returns to the opening material, bringing the rhythmic ideas full circle.

Anabiosis — the new album by Nespyashchiy, takes its name from the biological phenomenon of suspended animation: the ability of living organisms to slow down, withdraw, and endure. This album is a portrait of a world that has quietly turned inward.
Recorded entirely on hardware. No computers. 30+ synthesizers — vintage, analogue, and SOMA Laboratory instruments (LYRA-8, COSMOS, DVINA, FLUX, and RoAT).

Three sonic worlds in one record: IDM architecture, experimental dialogue with contemporary academic music, and a nostalgic thread woven from Soviet-era electronic tradition. Plus the last recorded notes of folk orchestras that may never play again.
Some things can only be said in sound.

The visual identity of the album mirrors this deep process. The cover is a collaborative visual experiment by Nespyashchiy himself: starting with his original photograph of snow, layered with textures in Photoshop, and finalized through AI processing.

«The cover references the concept of memory as a vessel — what gets stored on a carrier, and what gets lost when the carrier disappears. The album is soaked in a cultural code that belongs to winter, to introspection, to a specific sense of endurance and spiritual depth. These aren’t references. They’re the material itself».
