Intonarumori: The 100-Year-Old Machines Designed to Make "Noise Music" | The Instrument Makers

 Or what's in the box? 

David Lien has posted his video about my Intonarumori project on his YouTube channel.

 

David has done a great job here and the episode has received many positive comments. I think his addition of the historical context of the instruments was well done and his sound collage from Russolo's 6 families of noises was very creative and possibly could be further developed into a performance piece. 

 

 

There are several aspects touched on in the episode which  I'd like to talk about such as the lecture by Brian Eno at my art college in 1975 in future blog posts.

David Lien musician, educator, and filmmaker visits.

David Lien Musician, Educator, and Filmmaker paid me a visit to see my intonarumori. He wanted to film my machines and interview me for an episode on his Youtube channel 'The instrument makers'.

I hired out a local church hall for an afternoon where my machines could be set out, amplified and played. It was the first time four of my machines had been brought together and played. Needless to say this process still needs to be given a little more thought. 

It was a very enjoyable afternoon, David made a number of useful suggestions and his interest has inspired me to further develop the project. The visit ended with us playing a short improvised performance you can hear below.
