Arseny Avraamov

Arseny Avraamov (1886–1944), who worked under various names including Revarsavr and Arslan Ibragim-ogli Adamov, was a Russian composer, music theorist, performance instigator, and expert in Caucasian folk music. He was an outspoken critic of the classical twelve-tone system and served as commissar for the arts in Narkompros in the years following the Revolution, helping to establish Proletkult for developing distinctly proletarian art and literature.

His most celebrated project was the Symphony of Factory Sirens, performed in Baku in November 1922.
