Luigi Russolo’s Cacophonous Futures

publicdomainreview.org/essay/luigi-ru…

via @PublicDomainRev
At the beginning of the 3rd piece, an extraordinary thing happens: Marinetti, Boccioni, Armando Mazzi, and Piatti vanish from the stage, emerge from the empty orchestra pit, run across it, and hurl themselves among the seats, assaulting the many pastists....
....now drunk with the rage of tradition and imbecility, with blows, slaps, and cudgels . . . the battle in the orchestra lasts about half an hour, while the imperturbable Luigi Russolo continues to direct his orchestra of noise instruments.
Russolo in The Art of Noises lays out a map of his mechanical philharmonic, classed by families of sound. “Roars”, “thunderings”, “explosions”, “bangs” “booms”, “shouts”, “screams”, “shrieks”, “wails”, “hoots”, “howls”, “death rattles”, and “sobs”
Russolo retreated into esoteric pursuits:

Based with his wife in Cerro di Laveno, a quiet lakeside town in Italy, Russolo gave palm readings, expressed increasing interest in theosophy, & researched the possibility of, among other things, creating an “energy double” of his body.
L'Arte dei rumori, 1916 by Luigi Russolo

Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)

1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:

It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless

The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,

We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.

see Nga et al., 2022 for details

3. It is unlikely that anyone will do that now😒

However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.

2. May have been for research and commercial purposes, but they were caught bang to rights.

"LIU initially stated that he did not know what the materials were and that someone must have put them into his bag" Image
3. When asked why someone would put them into his bag, LIU stated that he did not know, and that maybe he had accidentally put the materials there. After further questioning, LIU acknowledged that the materials were different strains of the pathogen Fusarium graminearum

1. Remote truck drone swarm bombings are here to stay!

The techniques will be improved and nowhere will be safe unless underground.

Questions to consider:

How many panel vans, transit vans and small trucks are there in a big city at any one time?
2. This is a revolution in sabotage tactics



Welcome to the future of air bases!

Without concrete and earth roofed revetments, aircraft are sitting ducks.kyivpost.com/post/53749
3. The "good old days"

"clandestine antiaircraft devices using gallium metal pencils which when applied to aircraft results In destruction due to stress failure at the point of application"

🧵1. Another Modest Proposal

This time for the Pangolin’s Noble Sacrifice!

In this enlightened year of our Lord 2025 I, a humble observer of mankind’s ceaseless quest for health, find myself much struck by the ingenious practices of the Orient..
🧵2. A Scaly Panacea

...where the pangolin, that scaly denizen of subtropical climes, hath been elevated to a panacea most wondrous.

The Baicao Chinese Medicine compendium, a veritable gospel of herbal wisdom, doth proclaim the virtues of this creature’s scales...
🧵3. Humanity's Salvation?

...harvested with a diligence that would shame the most ardent of alchemists.

I propose, therefore, a modest scheme to amplify this noble tradition, ensuring that the pangolin’s sacrifice might serve the greater good of humanity.

A Convulsive Horizon of No Escape

Clang! Bar, far, scar, star.

Take the swarming headlines, shred them,

South Korea’s soy sauce grand master stirs

Books that don’t exist, AI’s fevered brew.

War without purpose, war crimes bite,
🧵🗞️ Clang! Crimes, limes, slimes!

EU’s chocolate crisis, cocoa beans scream!

Climate breakdown bites the fields.

The moment that changed me

a boulangerie revelation melting into Vindolanda’s stone relief

But the man in the navy suit and tie,

chokes on known unknowns.
🧵🗞️ Clang! Rice, nice, vice, dice!

Japanese minister’s rice is free, free, glee, spree,

As Trump’s tariffs tangle with toilet roll wedding lists.

No escape. The hour will no longer be ours.

Clang! Dome, home, foam, roam!
