According to Anatoly Vyatkin, the idea to make such a monument came unexpectedly. He worked on one of the projects for the international exhibition. Spent a lot of time at the computer and realized that the keyboard today is in almost every home. Soon after, with the support of the art community and Yekaterinburg businessmen, he began work on the manufacture of sculpture details. However, it turned out to be more complicated than it might look for a person who did not sculpt. Concrete is an extremely heavy material for sculpture. In addition, the weight of the keys ranged from 80 to several hundred kilograms.
