first noise recording in 1921
 

hi,
i've tried this link http://luigi.russolo.free.fr/music.html where u can download some recording of futurist musician Luigi Russolo, very interesting, probably the first recording of noises.
there are two pieces of a concert in paris in 1921.
in the image below there are the instruments "intonarumori" that Russolo used to produce different kind of noise.

Crikey. That's exciting.

i've heard some of the futurist stuff, and although it's noise, it's not really Noise.

cool!
the corale piece is also in the noise & electronic anthology-
there's also sonic youth there, with "audience"

luigi rossollos stuff is interesting, i wrote an essay involving him for my art course. it seems like a lot of the influential dadaist/futurist works involving sound were forgotten or lost because of the war. As a result american composers like cage, and french people such as pierre schaeffer became more influential.
i find the futurist sound theories quite insteresting, but i cant really get ove rwhat a bunch of war mongering fascists they were...

There's a passage on Rossollos and his sound generators in a book on the history of electronic music that I have. It seemed to mainly concentrate on how none of his inventions have survived so I had no idea these recordings existed. My thanks for pointing them out.

whoever bumped this thread, thanks for making me think that 8=======================D was back :(

kinda falls right at the end of dadaism which occured pretty much from 1916-1920 give or take a year.

good question haven't seen noumenal around for a while......

I think I heard a bit of russolo's sounds when someone posted that history of noise -mp3. Really intriguing stuff, I recall, like all futurism (and dadaism.)

the futurists were not per se fascist. Their ideas and a few of their members were swept up into the fascism wave spreading throughout europe/

they were USED
