Although this manifesto had been written many years ago, it has become even more relevant today. What I want to touch upon are the points he made regarding not limiting sound to just musical instruments but rather outside influences or how he likes to call it “noise-sound”. During his time of writing this, machinery had been in the most basic form, but unlike musical instruments, they were able to produce sounds unheard of.

Russolo emphasizes the importance of such sounds being that they are able to give birth to new rhythms and creativity. Being that the construction of such instruments are not utterly difficult, Russolo believes that the outcome of this would be the ability to “produce the most complex and newest sonic emotions, not through imitative noises reproducing life, but rather through a fantastic association of these varied sounds.”

One piece of sound art that fascinated me was by Bob Flanagan, “Leather from Home.” It first started out with a violin and harp duo but eventually progressed into a mix of sounds distinguishable to my hears. I can only believe it made these sounds through unconventional and creative ways. Listening to it, a part of it sounded much like the music one would play at a circus, upbeat and attention drawing. It eventually loops back to the sounds made in the beginning where a mix of violin and harp sounds were played.
