Edison Vasilievich Denisov (April 6, 1929, Tomsk, Russia — November 24, 1996, Paris, France) was a Russian composer of the so called “Underground” – “Anti-Collectivist,” “alternative” or “nonconformist” division in the Soviet music. Denisov was born in Tomsk, Siberia into the family of radio-physicist, who gave him the very unusual first name Edison, in honour of the great American inventor. He studied mathematics before deciding to spend his life composing. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/
