FUTURISM: music

Futurism music rejected tradition and introduced experimental sounds inspired by machinery. It influenced several 20th century composers.

Francesco Balilla Pratella
joined the Futurism movement in 1910 he is the other of Futurist Musicians
he empowered a lot of young musicians of that time.

"the red flag of Futurism, calling to its flaming symbol such young composers as have hearts to love and fight, minds to conceive, and brows free of cowardice".

- Pratella

Pratella and his brother Antonio used the instruments "intonarumori" a acoustic sound or noise generator that created and control the sounds dynamics and pitch of many different sounds.
