 Futurism music
Futurism was an early 20th-century art movement which
encompassed painting, sculpture, poetry, theatre, music,
architecture and gastronomy. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
initiated the movement with his Manifesto of Futurism,
Futurist music rejected tradition and introduced experimental
sounds inspired by machinery, and influenced several 20th-
century composers. published in February 1909.
Alsoknown as:
Futurist music
The futurist movement began in the early 20th
century and extended across many art forms. Its
starting point in music is considered to be
Manifesto of Futurism written by Filippo
Tommaso Marinetti in 1909, quickly followed by
several manifestos written by Francesco Balilla
Pratella, beginning in 1910. Futurism is largely a
product of Italian and Russian composers.
 Futurism can be characterized by a radical and militant attitude, rejection
of Western Classical Music forms and traditional criteria of musical craft,
search for non-conformity, and most importantly a fascination with
machines, which futurist music often imitates or is inspired by. Painter,
sculptor and self-taught musician Luigi Russolo, also with his brother
Antonio, pushed this fascination to the extreme by inventing specific noise
instruments called intonarumori, for which they composed several pieces.
The first intonarumori concert was held in 1914 (and a similar approach to
noise was exercised a few years later by Николай Фореггер [Nikolai
Foregger] and his Orchestra of Noises). Russolo's developments are today
seen as crucial in the evolution of Noise and Electronic music.
