The 'Intonorumori' or noise machines were a family of acoustic sound generators designed by Luigi Russolo to create the palette of sound described in the "Art of Noises". In "Art of Noises" (1913), Russolo describes the passage through history from silence to sound and on to noise-sound and musical noise. he argued that the limited range of the current musical instruments could no longer satisfy modern man's acoustic thirst. The individual machines were basic in appearance: solid boxes of varying sizes and heights each fitted with a huge metal speaker. Russolo and his assistant Piatti worked away perfecting them ready for their first full scale concert in 1914.Intonarumori Orchestra (Off Site, OFF SITE-004) (Japan) (CD)
