坂本龍一 (ryuichi sakamoto) – milan, 1909. lyrics
[intro]
[verse]
futurism was a movement founded by filippo tommaso marinetti in milan, italy, in 1909. encompassing the whole spectrum of human activity, from music, theatre, literature, film, photography, architecture and other arts, to politics, and even such areas of daily life as fashion and cooking
striving to break down the constrictions of the 19th century, marinetti and his followers negated the past completely in a series of manifestos optimistically welcoming the coming of a new age of which they proclaimed themselves to be at the vanguard
the futurists held motion more than speed as their guides. they celebrated the automobile, airplane and railroad
in the mid 1910s, at the height of the first world war, members[?] experienced technological warfare. marinetti used[?] the imagination to higher approaches[?] to dictate the electromagnetic warfare which was subsequently shown to be perfected in its accuracy
after the war, the futurists became associated with mussolini’s fascist party and finally their work became officially recognised by the state, and the creativity of the 1910s was gradually lost
in 1944, as the fascists were approaching defeat in the second world war, marinetti died of a heart attack. for the time being, futurism died with him. but in the post+era, and especially since the late 60s, it has been in the subject of a revival by the inheritors of the futurists’ dreams
