The Orchestra of Futurist Noise Intoners. Wigmore Hall London. 17th January 2025
Conducted by Luciano Chessa
Russolo and Marinetti brought 16 machines to London in 1914, a hundred years later the machines are back. Nine works were conducted by Luciano Chessa and performed by the New Music Society of the Guildford school of Music and Drama. Surely a once in a life time event.
As you can see from my photograph an array of Intonarumori were there to perform, which meant you could hear a depth of tones and a range of textures. Luciano even performed a solo.
Luciano's book has been a very important reference for me in my project so it was a real privilege to see this performance. I must now finish my instruments and look to a performance.
Here's The Guardian newspaper's review of the concert.
