1. Simultaneous sounds make life interesting. Overlapping and the different rhythmes and harmonies sounds make, makes life interesting. Without them, it would be boring. Ancient times were silent, mostly nature is silent except noises like earthquakes, storms, avalanches, and waterfalls. Sounds and music became a new form of entertainment in the Middle Ages. As time went on, sounds started to become more complex with harmonies, melodies, and rhythms. Later different things like tone and mood played into sounds. Bottom line, if there weren't simultaneous sounds life would be boring.
2. I think Russolo appreciates sound but not noise. He thinks that noise should be treated like an art. You have to look and change and temper with the noise to make it sound good. I value sound nd noise. It is a big part of our lives. If we didn't have sound movies, music, video games, etc wouldn't exsist or it would just be boring.
3. Noise is a big part of media including: movies, games, radio, music, and news. In movies it helps you get a sense of the intensity of the scene, or the mood in general. That goes for games, music, and news. The mood set for these things are very important because it makes us feel a certain way, the way the director or musicial wants us to feel.
4. Both Cage and Russolo believed in creating sound without the traditional instruments. They didn't need conventional instruments to make aesethetic sounds.
