Luigi Russolo is widely credited as being the first major noise theorist with his Art Of Noises manifesto. But contemporary artists like The New Blockaders were the first to progress from the use of noise as assault on tonality to the development of a rich, complex language. They combined a masked mythology with a militant anti-art/anti-music stance. This was the very definition of nihilism through sound. They can truly be credited as pioneers of Noise music as we know it today.
Das Zerstoren, Zum Gebaren
In the beginning, it was just about the blockade, that impenetrable barrier between nerve endings, impervious to everything, ultimate stop-gap. It was about creating a music so fraught with possibilites its darkness gets transformed into a kind of pure light, imaginary fingerings of primal tongues, held so rigorously still they ceased to function as tongues. Music which is not-music, communication which refuses to communicate, art which is not-art... Expect nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's your best shot at having everything delivered.
