Manifesto Rumorarmonico Post Futurista [VINYL]

Label: Old Europa Cafe Country: Italy

Vinyl compilation devoted to "Luigi Russolo" the father of Futurist music and the first man theorizing that music has to be composed mainly by rumors and not by harmonic sounds. His music was played with a self made instrument named: "Intonarumori" or "Rumorarmonio". Russolo is the forefather and theorizer of the "Electronic Music" concept and for sure we can say today that he was the first man playing "Industrial" muzak. Moreover Russolo was born in a small Italian city (Portogruaro) very close to OEC's headquarters so it was almost time for OEC to pay tribute to his genius.

For this project we invited four artists which are known for beeing very close to "Futurism" since their first approaches to music and for their true and uncompromising "Industrial" involvement, in alphabetical order :

- GX Jupitter-Larsen from USA, also known for being the mind behind The Haters and for all his very "Futurist" performances whre a click becomes the main sound.

- Merzbow from Japan, the father of Japanese noise. This is most propbably Russolo's own sound devellopment into our days ...

- Rapoon from UK, with his first project "Zoviet France" Robin Storey was one of the very first artists using toy instruments which can be very well copared to the use of Russolo's Rumorarmonio's or Itonarumori.

- Sacher Pelz from Italy, Sacher Pelz was the very first project by Maurizio Bianchi also known as MB , he was one of the very first artist theorising electronic noise. For sure a perfect follower of Russolo's tehories ...
