IDEOLOGICAL AND STYLISTIC BASES of “LUIGI RUSSOLO’S FUTURISM”
This study was designed to address the concept of “the Art of Noises” both ideologically and stylistically. The intellectual foundations of this avant-garde movement were laid in all arts with the concept of “Futurism” developed by, the Italian poet, Filippo Tomasso Marinetti, at the beginning of the 20th century. In the same period, the theoretical and performative aspects of Futurism were developed and applied to music with the concept of “the Art of Noises” by the Italian painter and composer, Luigi Russolo. Futurism is a movement of thought and art which was developed by Filippo Tomasso Marinetti who believed that there must be a break with tradition, and the great, the beauty and the truth must be sought in the future. The repercussions of this idea put forward by Marinetti were evident in Russolo’s secession from traditional sources of sound and construction of a noise machine in order to obtain noises. Following Russolo, who paved the way for all avant-garde movements by going beyond the great tradition of the International Art Music, John Cage turned his silence and all elements of sound into an integral part of the music composition. Meanwhile, in France, Pierre Schaeffer introduced the movement of Musica Concréte (Concrete Music) which was a more technological facade of this legacy. The Futurist Movement, which Russolo introduced to music, was not only inspiring for the International Art Music but also for Popular Music. Being untraditional, futuristic and dissident, the producers of Noise Rock and Industrial Rock music broke away from the tradition of acoustic music and integrated the noise into their musical/aesthetic systems. It is the paradigm brought by the zeitgeist which enabled Russolo to construct the thought of “Noise Music.” Two basic ideas that determined the period in which the composer lived were the Industrial Revolution and Fascism. On the one hand, the Industrial Revolution constituted the basis of rapid production and development, on the other hand, Fascism was a male-centered movement which regarded war as a natural factor of life and war between classes as a precondition for the dominance of the strong over the weak and development.
