In 1913, Luigi Russolo wrote "The Art of Noises" in a letter to his fellow futurist Franesco Balilla Pratella. In this manifesto he stated the opinion that people's hearing has become accustomed to the fast paced life and noises of the urban industry. Thus, Russolo believed that music must incorporate these aspects in order to continue to hold the public's interest.
Now, about one-hundred years later, music must transform again to suit the impossible-to-define lives of today. In which case, music must be created with an impossible-to-define attitude.
Although I want you to enjoy the music, my goal is to somehow leave you thinking one simple word: "What?"
