37 minutes ago Play that funky noise intoner! The rumblers, gurglers and howlers of the world’s strangest orchestra

With their funnel-like hooters and cupboard-like shapes, they looked bizarre, sounded wild and left audiences baffled. Now, more than 100 years on, Luigi Russolo’s orchestra of futurist machine instruments is back Today it is the venerable home of the English National Opera, but back in June 1914, the London Coliseum welcomed an act quite unlike anything seen there before or since: an orchestra of futurist noise machines. With their aggressively boxy chassis and funnel-like hooters, they resembled a flock of cubist birds or an artillery battery designed by Tove Jansson. Even stranger were the sounds they made. Each one had its own onomatopoeic name and in combination they evoked more a diagnostic toolkit for gastroenterologists than a set of musical instruments: there was the rumbler (or rombatore), the gurgler (gorgogliatore), and, most disturbingly of all, the howler (ululatore). It was a pretty far cry from The Pirates of Penzance.All things considered, the response of the London...

3 hours ago This Gaza ceasefire deal is a fragile thing, beset by strongman egos. But it is our best hope yet | Simon Tisdall

Netanyahu, with Trump waiting in the wings, has no interest in lasting peace. From these beginnings must come political change – and a reckoning At last! The yearned-for Israel-Hamas ceasefire-for-hostages deal is finally happening. It is welcome. Like thin ice covering deep waters, it is scarily fragile, prone to crack under the slightest pressure. And it is desperately, lethally overdue. Tens of thousands of Palestinians, and many Israelis, have died since last May, when US president Joe Biden first set out the parameters of this agreement. Civilians are still being killed in Israeli airstrikes that have actually intensified since the two sides grudgingly initialled the deal in Qatar.Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere are naturally relieved these merciless Israeli bombardments will soon stop. But celebrations are tempered by fears about the future, and by deep grief and anger over the still terrifying present and immediate past. According to Gaza health ministry figures, more than...

It has the twin effects of drawing you deeper into the plot and showing you how inured we have become to the sight of young dead female bodies used as scenery and plot points. It’s good to be reminded now and then, I think, of what we deem normal and where we draw our cultural lines and have our consciousnesses and consciences shaken awake.Now that I’ve crow-barred that outrageous feminist point in – to business!
