Luigi Russolo (b. 1885, Italy – d. 1947, Italy)
L’arte dei rumori, 1913

Russolo’s “The Art of Noises” was a futurist manifesto that opened for all the variety of sound art that had no place in the musical tradition.

For genealogical purposes in relation to my engagement with sound art, he just has to be here, as a kind of ground zero.
