The Orchestra Of Futurist Noise Intoners, led by Luciano Chessa, revives the revolutionary ideas of Luigi Russolo, who advocated for noise inclusion in music over a century ago. The ensemble performs on reconstructed intonarumori, designed to embrace urban and industrial sounds. Their recent concert at Wigmore Hall was a success, highlighting ongoing interest in Russolo's work, which challenges traditional music norms. Gerard Lebik underscores the relevance of Russolo's vision for contemporary music, emphasizing its departure from traditional music forms to embrace modern urban soundscapes.
"Russolo intended to call for a new sonic sensibility, which would fully accept noises as part of what, in 1913, was called music."
"Everyone is digging Russolo's work in his or her own way. I suspect many feel that what he was trying to achieve is still in opposition to more traditional music making."
