On 7 November 1922 - the five-year anniversary of the October Revolution - he conducted the inaugural performance of Symphony of Sirens (Гудковая симфония, Simfoniya gudkov), for which he is best remembered.

Performed in Baku, with Avraamov conducting from a rooftop by waving two red flags, the piece involved navy ship sirens and whistles, bus and car horns, factory sirens, cannons, the foghorns of the entire Soviet flotilla in the Caspian Sea, artillery guns, machine guns, hydroplanes and renderings of Internationale, Warszawianka and Marseillaise by a mass band and choir.

The performance also featured the magistral – an instrument invented by Avraamov which consisted of 50 steam whistles attached to pipes, which could be operated independently like the keys of a piano.

His microtonal system predated the creation of the Petrograd Society for quarter-tone music in 1923, by Georgii Rimskii-Korsakov [ru], also contemporary to Julián Carrillo's Sonido 13.

[2] Avraamov was friends with Leon Theremin and the pair were part of a team representing the USSR at the 1927 International Exhibition of Music in the Life of Nations held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
