What is myelophone, I think, do not need to explain. Those who were born in the late USSR, have necessarily heard about this device for reading thoughts from Bulychev's fantastic books. Even if you never read his stories about Alice Seleznev. Thanks to the film "Guest from the future" many know and how he looked - a crystal in a case.
It is interesting that in the book "One Hundred Years Onward", on which the film was shot, there is no exact description of this device. The only thing that the book knew was that you had to twist the wheel to adjust and listen to the thoughts through the earpiece. Apparently, therefore, the artist E. Migunov portrayed him as a radio receiver
But for the film, Arsenov wanted something else. Artists offered different options, but in the end Arsenov decided to stop on the crystal. In some sources it is said that this is an ordinary Ural souvenir, to the box of which simply added a belt. But according to the artist-director Olga Kravchenya, he was made specifically for the film.
The prototype is the prism that is used in the production of cameras. Designer Elena Rybnikova, who created a model of flying machines and consoles for the picture, worked at the optomechanical plant and somehow brought to the site the crystals and prisms that were used in production. The director liked this idea, he jumped at the idea of the crystal. Moreover, the book has an indication that the basis of the myelophone is a particularly rare crystal from an asteroid. It is from these photos of crystals that a complex crystal was glued together. Well, the case from him, too, very much like what was done at the factory for the production of cameras
Well, an unearthly glow and a melodic sound was already given to him later.
By the way, do you know what sound produces a crystal at the moment of work? The first concert of Tchaikovsky at a very high speed. This idea belongs to the sound engineer Leonid Veitkov, who after listening to the increased speed of this track on the player, very much liked (or as I say about hearing, shorter liked) the received sounds. He recorded it and gave it to Arsenov. That's how a fantastic device sounded to the music of a classic
After filming, the miracle device remained with the director. Now it is kept by his widow Elena Arsenova.
"Myelofon lives in the house, and I will not give it to anyone," she says. - I was asked for it for a while for television, even they offered me a receipt with a promise to return, but I always refused. He is very dear to me
