Homenage to Luigi Russolo, the precursor of a vast innovative movement in the history of contemporany music:
he elevated "Noise" to a sonic art as soon as 1913 !

Far from a gratuitous provocation, the Futurist painter Luigi Russolo (1885-1947),
author of "The Art of Noises" in 1913, revolutioned music by proposing a new - and radicaly different -
musical way of thinking. With him, musical noise evolved towards noise-sound, as a subtitution of rubbish for beauty... He then developed a noise machine
meant to extend the limited range of the orchestra instruments to startling sounds.
The "Intonarumori" were sound generators (see photo on the disc) with highly poetic names such as cracklers, roarers, bubblers, thunderers, bursters, etc...
Presented in concert in 1921 in Milano, Paris and London, they will latr be assembled into one instrument, the Rumorarmonio or Russolophone,
to add soundtrack to silent films at the avant-garde movie theatre "Studio 28" created in Paris by Jean Cocteau.
