Antonio Russolo is his brother, and he wrote pieces for the intonarumori and orchestral instruments, which according to the written records, are pale imitations of how they were originally used. The Antonio Russolo recordings on the CD above are scratchy wax disc recordings. The Luigi Russolo piece is made with reconstructions of them from what is known about how they worked. The original instruments were destroyed by some philistines somewhere!
It's a good CD. Very strange and wonderful stuff.
