In 1913, on the cusp of radio’s transmission, Luigi Russolo expanded the extremely limited Western musical vocabulary by including a vast variety of noises. His categories of sound for a futurist orchestra include:
(1) rumbles, roars, explosions, crashes, splashes, booms; (2) whistles, hisses, snorts; (3) whispers, murmurs, mumbles, grumbles, gurgles; (4) screeches, creaks, rustles, buzzes, crackles, scrapes; (5) noises obtained by percussion on metal, wood, skin, stone, terracotta, and other materials; and (6) voices of animals and men: shouts, screams, groans, shrieks, howls, laughs, wheezes, sobs. These six categories were intended to change the very nature of auditory perception as well as sonic creativity.

People think I’m way more lurid than I am.
