June 2009 — The Growler / Brööl



Plywood, steel, wire, drum skin, leather.

In collaboration with Christopher West.

A reincarnation of Luigi Russolo’s “Intonarumori”, the last of which were destroyed during WWII. Our version was built according to written descriptions of the original machines and put together with materials salvaged from the Rietveld Academy building. It was played sporadically throughout the graduation exhibition, then destroyed.



48 pages, 240 × 325 mm, mimeography, custom typeface.

Parallel to The Growler, we wrote a radio script on “lost sounds”. It was broadcast once but not recorded.
