Abstract: |
The presence of noise in everyday life emerged during the Belle Époque to expand and influence the arts as well as the ways of communication both between individuals and societies. In music, noise was first adopted by the Futurists and then by the avant-garde composers of the first half of the 20th century. This Chapter examines the principles of futurism, as they were manifested mainly through its manifestos, and delineates the influence of the futurist movement in music. It describes the influence of noise in the music of John Cage and its relationship with Zen Buddhism (I-Ching, indeterminacy), the prepared piano, the phonograph, the percussion, and the ready-mades. It approaches the 4'33" as an all-over composition and investigates Cage's goals behind including all sounds in his music and the pursuit of silence.
