THE VARIETY OF NOISES IS INFINITE. IF TODAY, WHEN WE HAVE
PERHAPS A THOUSAND DIFFERENT MACHINES,
WE CAN DISTINGUISH A THOUSAND DIFFERENT NOISES, TOMORROW,
AS NEW MACHINES MULTIPLY,
WE WILL BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH TEN, TWENTY, OR THIRTY
THOUSAND DIFFERENT NOISES,
NOT MERELY IN A SIMPLY IMITATIVE WAY, BUT TO COMBINE THEM
ACCORDING TO OUR IMAGINATION.
- RUSSOLO (1913)
Calends: In the ancient Roman calendar, these were the
first days of each month.
The Roman month was divided into three periods by the
"calends", the "nones"
and the "ides." The calends were invariably placed at the
beginning of the month,
the ides at the middle of the month, and the nones
("novem", nine) were nine days before the ides,
counting inclusively. Those days comprised between the
calends and the nones were denominated
"days before the nones"; those between the nones and the
ides, "days before the ides";
and those from the ides to the end of the month, "days
before the calends."
