Re: noise classification problem

[Jul <jricard@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Alberto,

Luigi Russolo, an italian futurist, was a pionneer in the use of  noises
in music. He wrote a book, "Art of Noises" (1913) in which he proposed
some noise classification.
You can find a table with this classification at:
http://csunix1.lvc.edu/~snyder/em/russolo.html

"we must break out of this narrow circle of pure musical sounds, and
conquer the infinite variety of noise sounds..."
(quote by Russolo found at the same web page)
