Musica Futurista: The Art of Noises-V/A

A nice collection of early noise and futurist music ranging from 1909-1930. The first half of the album is mainly piano. The piano is angry, lonesome, and unstable, creating an ominous insanity, followed by uncomfortable silences, leading into smooth piano melodies. But the real gems are the two Luigi Russolo recordings, risveglio di una citto and esempi sonori di. The horror movie screeches and howls overcast a gurgles from hell. This is a very cool pice of history and art and shit like that.

some ground breaking shit right here.

Krzysztof Penderecki - Matrix 5

Yes, it's about damn time we post some of this guy's stuff. A visionary genius of 20th century classical composition, Penderecki experiments with the boundaries of what an orchestra can do. He terrifies and stuns millions. Listen to his Threnody for the Victims of Hiromshima. His orchestra wails like air-raid sirens throughout, and about two minutes into the song, the players start slapping and hitting their instruments. If you dig weirdness of this nature, you will thoroughly enjoy this man's work.
