italian futurism says dubstep to me

If you want to change the world, you have to be a bit … of­fen­sive.

That was the Fu­tur­ists.

Well, that was F.T. Marinet­ti. The rest came along for the ride.

Part of his in­spi­ra­tion was a car ac­ci­dent. And how cool that could be. And how dri­ving fast is awe­some.

Ital­ian Fu­tur­ism was not about the fu­ture, it was about the future’s im­pact on the present. In this case, 1909, new tech­nolo­gies were chang­ing the world. And the idea of the Ro­man Em­pire still be­ing what Italy was all about – Marinet­ti felt this was passé.

Street­lights, fac­to­ries, NOISE.

The world sound­ed dif­fer­ent be­fore the 20th Cen­tu­ry. Artist/composer Lui­gi Rus­so­lo cre­at­ed mu­sic from noise. And a bit lat­er, the elec­tric gui­tar took this con­cept main­stream. Moog, synths would go far­ther.

Marinetti’s sound po­et­ry seemed like non­sense. It was just a be­gin­ning.

Fu­tur­ism ad­vo­cat­ed war too. So a bunch of the fu­tur­ists were killed in World War One. And the move­ment end­ed up with ties to Fas­cism. And they were pret­ty sex­ist, tho in read­ings, I’m pret­ty sure Marinet­ti was pussy whipped mor than any­thing.

Which is why they’ve been ig­nored. Right­ful­ly. Well, not too ig­nored. They did some amaz­ing things. And hell, the fash­ion in­dus­try LOVES to steal from them. A lot.

Gaga wouldn’t to­tal­ly be Gaga with­out Fu­tur­ism off in the dis­tance.

Ital­ian Fu­tur­ism says dub­step to me.

Here’s an ex­per­i­men­tal mix from a few years back:
