Composer (and conductor) of an immense, epic, bombastic symphony (opus 8421) in the far flung future of 1995, from the satirical review "The Symphony in 1995," published in 1885, in music magazine The Etude, November 1885 (Volume 03, Number 11).
His symphony has 154 movements, takes ten days to complete, 5,240 musicians to play, and uses no less than eight fictional instruments, perhaps a record:
- cornetetherwhistle
- catometer
- Columbiad (actually just a type of cannon)
- Machangawang
- Double-bass jewsharp
- Pyaldryvas (piledrivers HAHAHAHA!)
- Patent pumpkin tubes
- Smackaree
The review specifically mentions Wagner and Liszt, but another possible target is Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, which premiered in Russia in 1882.
Horridnoise's first name is not given.
