Summary/Abstract: The author takes up the subject of noise in a short historical introduction to sound composition and the materiality of instruments, following the example set by Lugio Russolo’s manifesto L’arte dei rumori. She notes that noise is a widely recognized phenomenon, though it has not been fully theoreticized. Stasiowska provides various definitions and examples of how noise acts on the listener and their senses. The author sums up as follows: “So noise exists as a strategy for amplifying undesired elements. Being confronted by a multiplicity of grating sounds forces us to contemplate what are regarded as errors, or fixed perceptual structures”.
