  Yup, it was referred to as "bone music" and is on the Dead Media Archive.

  funny, but this is sort of common knowledge in russia, and it never occured to me that it was unique to soviet union.
  
  one correction, though. not that it wasn't made illegal, self publishing in any form was prohibited at all times in soviet union. but in and of itself that wouldnt have killed "boneizdat" as it hasnt other forms of underground publishing. i think (and its just my personal opinion) this "technology" was simply gradually replaced by tape recorders.
  
  thanks for digging up this nostalgia fodder for us!
