Dear publishers,

Our book "Soviet Faust" (in Russian) about Leon Theremin had been translated into English by one of his admirers Sally Brown, who is good in Russian. If any Publishing House is interested in republishing this book for the Western readers, please address us by . A briet diges of this Book in English is available now on-line at (http://prometheus.kai.ru/sov-faustus_e.htm).

Bulat Galeyev (the author of book "Soviet Faust").

The web-site of our Institute 'Prometheus' (http://prometheus.kai.ru) is one of the most extended in the world as regards to the problems of light-music (color music) and synesthesia. The language of web-site is Russian, but many materials are duplicated in English and regularly updated. To increase the efficiency of our scientific web-site we open a special section containing links to other web-sites (either in Russian or other languages) dealing with such themes as:

1. Theory and history of light-music (color music, "dynamic light-painting", "music of light", "lumia", abstract cinema, musical computer animation, etc.)..
2. Technology of light-music synthesis (including computer programs).
3. Information about research centers, groups, original projects, concerts, films, etc.
4. Synesthesia, "color hearing" from various points of view: psychological, linguistic, literature/music study, aesthetic.
5. Information on conferences, festivals, exhibitions concerning the above problems.
6. Information on new books.
7. Bibliography of publications in that field.
8. Advertising (if it concerns manufacturing and purchasing of light-music equipment for either concert of design purposes; new books, films, computer programs).

If you are interested in setting the link to your web-site in our new section, please contact us and give some details:

• your URL, e-mail address, location (city), date of web-site creation (you may also add title of organization, group, web-site authors' names).
• short abstract (no more than 10 lines) or key words. Please indicate which of the sections 1...8 listed above is most close to your web-site content.

RUSSIAN SYNESTHESIA BIBLIOGRAPHY PROPOSAL.
The research institute Prometheus has collected a unique bibliography of nearly all Russian publications concerning synesthesia, "color hear ing" and related art experiments such as light-music, abstract films with music, multimedia compositions, etc. The bibliography covers the last 100-125 years and consists of nearly 3,000 book titles, journal articles and conference theses. As these works are little known in the West, the Prometheus Institute is planning to issue an English version of the bibliography (print and Internet) and include an abstract with each item. In order to realize this project, we need financial support. Any grants or donations from interested organizations will be most gratefully received. Mail to: bulat.galeyev@mail.ru.
