I wish we could hear something today that was genuinely groundbreaking and new and incomprehensible. Imagine going to a performance or demonstration or whatever Luigi Russolo called it, and seeing these two guys in suits and bow ties with a bunch of huge, lever-operated boxes with primitive electronics and horns. Audiences at his first "concerts" reacted with outrage and even violence, and these were people who knew they were going to watch a crazy futurist guy do avant garde art. Its kind of sad that no matter how extreme, music of sonic art or whatever will likely never elicit reactions like that again.

its actually quite easy to make music that people dislike and get booed.

these i believe were just airhorns.

i get what you mean, but i f think about it, it doesnt quite hold up.

for what. I rather hear something beautiful and made with skill and correct aplication of musical theory.

you want uniqueness piss on wharever recording device you got laying around, it will make an unique sound. It will be garbage though.

>hold still goyim while I rape your ears at 10000 decibels
>oh the goyim are reacting with violence
Yes, just stfu, silence is better than horrid noise. Learn to make harmony with beautiful sounding notes.

oh dear. such narrow vision, and managing to completely miss the point of this kind of art. its not about uniqueness or whether people enjoy listening to it, and it is most definitely not about whether some theory of music is applied because this isn't music in the traditionally accepted sense. its was about new notions of how sound could be used in art by giving people an experience that was far outside anything they were used to or could have expected. for all your disdain and dismissals, the people in those first performances had an experience that you can never have. nothing you ever hear will be as new or strange or disturbing to your ears as what they heard.

so it is about uniqueness? cool

you miss the point of russolo - these sounds were already commonplace

and if you listen to the actual art of noise music, that music could be made by regular instruments.

its not really new, then or now. in fact the only music that really gets that kind of reaction is edgy hip hop any more, which ironically is also massively embraced popularly at the same time.

sincere apologies, I made the mistake of expecting better than elementary school level reading comprehension from you
Im talking about the novelty of the experience in its cultural context and the subsequent potential for shifting that cultural context, not the work itself

>these sounds were already commonplace
this is a lie. similar sounds might have been possible, perhaps, by various other means. were they within most people's experience? no. but the larger point is they were not previously used in art but were the sounds of industry, machinery, accidental or incidental rather than intentional, carrying no meaning, message or intent
>gets that kind of reaction is edgy hip hop
also false, it gets nothing like that kind of reaction whatsoever. neither does noise music, extreme metal or any other kind of sonic art produced or performed today.

nice

lol ok contradiction bro
>this is a lie
>were the sounds of industry
thats exactly my point
perhaps if you had more than an elementary school level reading comprehension, youd get it
