Futurist Composers

Actually, as long as you make it with a guitar, and throw it in a verse-chorus song, 99% of rockers will appreciate complete nonmelodic noise as music. Or, take hip-hop, which often assembles sounds entirely ignoring their pitches just on how they sound. Pop can be argued a lot of the same way.

In fact, noise music has infested various aspects of mainstream rock dating back to the 60s. I mean, Where would The Who be without the screechy feedbacky stuff? It's just... it has to be presented around music in a certain way to help people in disguising to themselves the fact they like it. I think it's a natural side effect of electronic amplification.

Question: are the composers mentioned in this thread futurist in aesthetic or ideology? I've always been under the impression Futurism was tied tightly to Fascism (not National Socialism)...

I know the in the early stages of the USSR futurist aesthetics, especially in architecture, were the official state style for a time but this was abandoned after a few years.

Ideology. The Italian Futurist composers were tightly bound with the movement itself. I think even Filippo Tommaso Marinetti himself composed a few pieces.
