The noise-maker
Luigi Russolo

He started as a painter and then took the movement to its logical extreme, deciding the future belonged to noise and building machines to make it. His manifesto on the art of noises argued that the racket of the modern city was the real music to come, and his hand-cranked noise boxes proved he meant it. He shows how far Futurism pushed past the frame, all the way into sound.
