about

F.T. Marinetti (Italy, 1876-1944)

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was an Italian poet and art theorist. He is best known as the author of the Manifesto of Futurism (1909) and as a founder of futurism, an art movement that rejected the past and celebrated futuristic notions of speed, mechanization, and unsentimentality. He also aligned himself with nationalism and fascism, aspects of his outlook for which he is justifiably condemned, but his immense talent is undeniable, as is his persistent—even growing—relevance in an era of rapid technological change.

This track references the images and ideas in Marinetti’s manifesto, and in particular his declaration of “una bellezza nuova; la bellezza della velocità” (“a new beauty; the beauty of speed”).

lyrics

Tired of everything that came before
Everything old and exhausted
We construct with our own hands
We assemble out of steel, and grease, and gasoline
A new aesthetic, a new idea of pleasure,
Of what gives delight: electricity, fire, pistons
Gears, and valves, and sparks
And, in the flickering light: speed, speed, speed.

And if our machines consume us well
Nothing runs without fuel.

Nothing, nothing.
Nothing runs without fuel.

And if our machines consume us
Well, well, well.
Well, well.
