Steam Hammer Rhapsody
The BaItimOre American.


In the latest Futurist manifesto-the
number of these documents is now un-
ntable-Luigi Russolo, the painter. out
lines a form Of musical art as novel as it
is striking.
This is the era of machinery, and ma
chimes are noisy, he says in effect, there
fore the art of the future must be the
art of noise. Russolo admits that he is no
musician himself, but throws out these
hints for the benefit of ''advanced'' musi-
clans.
If anyone has the temerity to embody
Signor Russolo's ideas, the most ultra
modern orchestration yet known will ap-
pear in companion as a plaintive little
wall. with the incessant MULTIPLICATION
of new machines he writes, I'VE shall
one day be able to distinguish 10000 2o0 600
or 10000 different noises. 1t is these noises
which we must not simply initiate, but
combine at the dictates of our artistic
fantasy One imagines a steam hammer
rhapsody or a dynamo sonata.
