The Growler

"...as a parallel, more direct exploration of lost sounds, we have rebuilt Luigi Russolo's obsolete Intonarumori noise machine thus resurrecting the sounds it produced, which otherwise only exist in low-quality recordings or through the written descriptions of Russolo and his audiences. Further, the Intonarumori, as a manifestation of Futurist ideas on noise and music, attempted to compound the innumerable sounds of human existence, and especially the sounds of industrialisation: when we hear the Intonarumori, then, we are also hearing an abstraction of the 'modern' city of 1913"

Quotation from Bröl, a publication/broadcast/manuscript produced parallel to the (re)production of our incarnation of the Intonarumori, named The Growler
