For most of us norms, unlocking creativity can be difficult at the best of times. This rule does not apply to the musicians featured on
Of Noise – a new, Futurist-inspired collaborative project from Slow Dance Records.
Plucking members from Black Midi, 404 Guild, Goat Girl, Sorry, Powerplant and Curl Recordings, perhaps it’s no surprise. Split up across six tracks, it’s a stupidly talented pool to work from, each artist carefully selected for their diverse range and impulse to push to boundaries. Largely inspired by Luigi Russolo’s declaration to reinvent the way in which we hear music, his 1913 manifesto ‘The Art of Noises’ lays out the album’s conceptual backdrop; to create something innately alien and unrecognisable to human ears.
