Intonarumori - 1913 (The beauty of noise)


There is no beauty in noise. And so what's the point of make it. Noise is, by vocabulary definition, the auditory experience of sound that lacks musical quality. I have got another one which is more practical: an electric disturbance in a communications system that interferes with or prevents reception of a signal or of information, as the buzz on a telephone or snow on a television screen.
And so noise is somehow the end of the communication, the end of the words and the beginning of a different sort of “communication”. In the image above, Luigi Russolo is playing his noisy machine called "intona rumori" literally noise intoners. Luigi Russolo can be defined as a precursor of the electronic music.
