Oleg Buloshkin was a Russian composer and electronic music pioneer.

Like Sofia Gubaidulina and Eduard Artemiev, he recorded pieces on the ANS synthesizer, a photoelectronic instrument created by the Russian engineer Evgeny Murzin. This synthesizer was invented as a result of technological developments around graphical sound recording used in cinematography. The new ANS synth made it possible to obtain a visual image of a sound wave and to synthesize sound from drawn sound spectrograms. Buloshkin’s piece “Sacrament” is an example of the technology in use.
