Abbsynth is one of the Spacesynth projects. It is important to note that this project was created in Russia by a young man named Alexander Korolev from the city of Ivanovo.

Initially, his fascination with Spacesynth music arose after listening to the works of "KOTO", "Laserdance" and "Hypnosis". A little later, the future performer began to try his own hand at writing compositions of this genre, albeit as a simple hobby. Over time, Alexander decided to familiarize a wider circle of listeners with his work by posting on the Russian forum http://newshot.ru/forums / several demos combined into a mix. So, in 2007, the Abbsynth project was launched, and quite successfully, since its musical demo material was received with great and lively interest.

The music of this project is quite melodic and memorable. According to the author, it is somewhat different from the typical Spacesynth sound, although it is located somewhere nearby. It is noteworthy that the musical material for the project, at the moment, is created exclusively with the help of software. In particular, the performer has at his disposal a PC with a virtual analogue of the Yamaha DX-7, which is used as the basis of his compositions, a virtual analogue of the Roland Juno 106 synthesizer - VST Roland U-NO 60 and many more additional VST.

For several months, Alexander did not stop working on his project, and, almost a year later, the material for the first album “Back to the Sun” was finished, which was posted on http://www.realmusic.ru /. Despite the fact that the album has not been officially released anywhere, some of its tracks can also be found on http://www.spacesynth.de/.

Six months later, material was written for the first single "Starlines". It includes a single version of "Starlines" from the second album “Earthlight”, which was released in November 2009. Although this album was conceived in a "non-stop" mode, it can be downloaded as individual tracks on http://www.realmusic.ru /.

In the same year 2009, Alexander combines his creative interests with another talented performer from Krasnoyarsk, Oleg Rysev (the Olegris project). As a result of this collaboration, another Spacesynth project called "Cyber Attack" appears, and in March 2010, Abbsynth's second single titled “Space Wanderer” was released in CD5 format. By the way, Oleg Rysev wrote the music for it.

Along the way, Alexander continues to work on the Abbsynth project. Over the next year, he creates material for another album, which was called "Special Flight". The style of this album is in the spirit of previous works. In addition to several new compositions, it also contains cover versions of some well-known tracks of the groups "Zodiac", "Nova", "Kraftwerk", etc. The album was also presented to the public on the website http://www.realmusic.ru / and also not officially published yet.

Cyber Attack is a musical project of performers from Russia, conceived by Alexander Korolev and Oleg Rysev. The idea of creating this project was inspired by the creativity of such giants of the 80's as Hipnosis and Cyber People.
Work on the project was started in 2008, but the material for it was created with long breaks. Eventually, in September 2009, the first single was released, titled "Cyber World". The main contribution to it was made by Alexander Korolev. The single has not been officially released, but you can get acquainted with it on the page realmusic.ru. It is worth noting that the sound of his compositions is made in the style of an old-school Spacesynth.

Six months later, the second single was recorded, called "Cyber Aggression". His style is fully sustained in the spirit of the first single. With this, the musicians once again confirmed that they did not come to the world of Spacesynth for nothing. Unfortunately, this work has also not been officially published, but it can also be found on the portal realmusic.ru.

Аnd as an addition to the topic - material from Alexander's page on vk.com (translated):
Date of birth May 29, 1974. Born in a small town of the Ivanovo region. Lives in it to this day. The main profession is the driver of heavy-duty cars. In his youth, he was an ardent fan of disco music in its various manifestations, and also loved electronic projects of that time: Kraftwerk, Yello. Alexander was especially struck by the music in the style of Synth-Dance (Spacesynth), and he really wanted to repeat this sound within his own project. But at that time, instruments were unavailable and the new melodies that were born in Alexander's head were never implemented. In different years, there were attempts to create a collective based on the city recreation centers to play favorite music, but in the end nothing happened, the main reason is a misunderstanding on the part of cultural workers who considered such music unnecessary to our city, although some instruments were already available, including their own, bought for a lot of money, some of the equipment was rented.
With the advent of the era of computers, and the rapid cheapening of computer technology, everything has become much better. Sequencer programs appeared that could help composers outline their musical ideas and develop them in the future, which Alexander actually did. In April 2007, the Abbsynth project was created, the music was based on the sound of legendary projects of the 80's, namely Laserdance and Koto. After the unofficial Internet release, it became clear that Alexander's music was liked by fans of the Spacesynth style, and it was decided to continue. At the same time, Alexander gets acquainted with the same amateur musicians as himself, namely Oleg Rysev, singer Elen Cora and the wonderful author of poems Andrey Moskalev. Several songs were written for Elen Cora, which were warmly received by disco fans in the West. A little later, a joint project was created with Oleg Rysev called Cyber Attack, the name echoed the professional Italian project Cyber People, created in the mid-80's, it was supposed to recreate the sound of this project, which has its own unique style and sound, of course, within the same disco style. Alexander is also experimenting with non-commercial electronic music (not disco), as part of his own project. At the end of 2009, the second non-official album Abbsynth was released, which was also warmly received by fans of the style. In the future, Alexander plans to purchase instruments, synthesizers and other equipment of that time in order to really recreate the sound of those golden 80's in hardware, thereby realizing his dream.
