"Art of Noises" Manifesto

This manifesto, a call to arms, written by a painter to other painters so they might throw away their paintbrushes and create the first "industrial techno" is pretty interesting.
Luigi Russolo actually says something like- paraphrasing here -the industrial revolution has created its own new unique sound and we should embrace the dissonance and cacophony of it by attempting to replicate its complicated structure.
He continues in the manifesto to define "pure" sound as predefined by four or five different types of instruments. He notes that musicians have struggled with these instruments for hundreds of years to find different ranges and tones but ultimately the answer is to create new intruments for a modern era so that the sounds and energy of the day are reflected in the music created.
In my own experience, sound is just another way to express something. Although I don't think I can compare it to another media form- because all media forms are at least slightly different, it is incredibly maleable.
