Metal Machine Manifesto—Music for 16 Intonarumori
October 16, 8:00 PM
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, 701 Mission Street San Francisco, California 94103
One of a series of performances in SF that re-examine the relationship of Italian Futurism to innovative artistic form, radical and regressive politics, and performance work today. Futurist composer Luigi Russolo, well-known for his ground-breaking manifesto The Art of Noises, constructed special hand-cranked instruments to realize an expanded field of orchestral sound. Called intonarumori (or "noise intoners"), these instruments could produce a number of noises—explosions, howls, buzzes, hisses—that Western music failed to employ.
