Art of Noise Response

The Art of Noise by Lugi Russolo was about the forth coming of sound into this world. Beginning in Ancient time where there was silence and progressing to the present where our boundaries are limitless to the amount of sound and noise. It was mentioned that sound was originally created to be soft, simple and sweet and I wish we had more of that in today's lifetime. The concept of the musical evolution being paralleled with the multiplication of machines is an interesting idea. I wonder if people recognize this. There would be no music or dense sounds without this creation of machines/instruments. Music is about the sensations felt when hearing something. Russolo draws up a point that most people are unaware of the sounds they are hearing. Most people are in tune with their eyes and not their hears and only pay attention when sound is deliberate. I enjoyed reading the section where Marinetti gave his interpretation of Adrianopolis. It reminded me of an assignment we had to do in my Visual Dynamics class, when we had to write/draw our thoughts and emotions from listening to this orchestra play.
