1990)] was created in 1989-1990 at the Nevsky-25 squat workshop (Kazan Cathedral House, Leningrad) on the basis of the artist's own poetic texts, the free-verse poems of 1987-1989.

The Colored Sounds (Cvetnye Zvuki) consist of five short poems and a parallel conventionally-shaped pictorial series printed on stencils (blue, black, scarlet and yellow).

In those years, the artist was interested in the problem of synthesis of verbal and visual material in one artwork, so the texts were typed by hand on a typewriter using colored carbon paper (green, purple, red, black and yellow), thereby accentuating the individual elements of the poems.

The Colored Soundsis a homage to the artist's book Sounds (German: Klänge) by Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky.

The visual elements work as an independent ‘text’ that prompts certain analogies between colour and sound, with which the early twentieth-century avant-garde also experimented, not only in painting, but also in music.
