Zang Tumb Tumb is a sound poem written in 1914 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, an Italian Futurist. It is an account of the Battle of Adrianople (1913) that uses creative typography ("words-in-freedom") and other poetic impressions of the events of the battle, including the sounds of gunfire and explosions.
The poem inspired Luigi Russolo to start experimenting with noise music, and is quoted in his Manifesto in 1913, later published in his book The Art of Noises in 1916.
The ZTT Records label was named in homage to the poem.
