Expanded Radio Research Unit is an independent radio program dedicated to sound experimentation and the exploration of radio as an artistic and cultural space. The program moves between music, spoken word, performance, and hybrid sonic practices, questioning the very boundaries of radio as a medium and offering a reflection on sound as a tool for imagination, connection, and transformation.

Expanded Radio Research Unit considers radio as an acoustic and social ecosystem: a space where cultures, aesthetics, and transmission practices meet. Each episode becomes a listening laboratory where sound is at the center of a research process that spans geographical territories, artistic languages, and symbolic dimensions.

The aim is to create bridges between different spaces and contexts, connecting voices, stories, and sonic forms that challenge the conventions of traditional radio communication. In this perspective, radio becomes a performative and communal medium, capable of activating imaginary soundscapes and giving voice to artistic practices that are often marginal or non-codified.

Expanded Radio Research Unit is therefore not just a program to listen to, but an experience to immerse in: an acoustic-curatorial proposal that invites the listener to rediscover radio as a critical and sensitive space.

Conceived and curated by Katatonic Silentio, Expanded Radio Research Unit is a monthly meeting at Imbarchino Del Valentino and is streamed on RBL Torino.

Under My Feet. Beyond Sound w/ Ireen Amnes & Gramrcy

Expanded Radio Research Unit 08

For his second EP on VOITAX, Dara Smith @darasmith now returns with five beautifully crafted tracks that he titles »Augmented Fantasy«. While following a similar approach, he does not fail to expand his repertoire of celestial dream-like atmospheres, which he carefully surrounds with a whole variety of vocals, and accurately placed broken drum patterns. In addition to his own singing, Arad also presents two impressive collaboration tracks, in which one of them features the voice of Stine Omar, also widely known as one half the Berlin-based pop duo EASTER. Driving rhythmics and processed, grainy vocals turn this piece into guaranteed hit material. Another collaboration with the befriended vocalist and music producer Nina Hynes serves as a touching closing chapter for this brilliantly produced, eclectic 5-tracker. All pieces are perfectly glued together while keeping their very individual character and soundscapes. The listener is certainly left with an augmented fantasy, as well as a curiosity to hear more to come from the Irish talent.

Roue Libre with Idris - 22/04/2022

bijū arose from the need to explore the intersection of machine and body. The need to blur the boundaries between dehumanized electronic music and the natural environment. Its selection is a constant search between minimalist and dense, dynamic and slow, sharp and blurry sounds. His a journey, inspired by the multidimensionality of sound synthesis and the sounds coming from the abyss ... a journey that makes you feel inevitably fragile.
As part of the Warsaw collective SUMISH wants to strengthen interactions between people through synergies, exchange of vision and knowledge, building bridges between the islands of different disciplines. Author of the program Gnostic Methods, dedicated to industrial and experimental music - every month on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. on Radio Kapitał.

@b1ju

bijū powstał z potrzeby eksploracji punktu przecięcia maszyny i ciała. Potrzeby rozmycia granic między zdehumanizowaną muzyką elektroniczną a naturalnym środowiskiem. Jego selekcja - to stałe poszukiwanie między minimalistycznymi, a gęstymi, dynamicznymi i powolnymi, ostrymi i rozmytymi brzmieniami. To podróż, zainspirowana wielowymiarowością syntezy dźwięku oraz odgłosami dochodzącymi z otchłani...podróż, która sprawia, że czujesz się nieuchronnie kruchy. 
W ramach warszawskiego kolektywu SUMISH pragnie wzmocnić interakcje między ludźmi przez synergie, wymianę wizji oraz wiedzy, budując mosty między wyspami różnych dyscyplin. Autor audycji Gnostic Methods, poświęconej muzyce industrialnej i eksperymentalnej - co miesiąc w czwartki o godzinie 16:00 na Radio Kapitał.

ʻOumuamua /ˌoʊmuˈɑːmuə/ — n. \ Interstellar object first detected traversing the Solar System; characterized by its highly elongated shape, anomalous non-gravitational acceleration, and absence of a visible coma.

Designated 1I/2017 U1, it exhibited physical and dynamical properties w/out precedent among known asteroids or comets, leading to speculation regarding its origin and the mechanisms driving its motion.

ʻOumuamua, from Hawaiian ~ “scout” / “messenger sent ahead,” derived from ʻou (“to reach for, to reach out”) and mua (“first, in advance”).

Orb. char.: perihelion ≈ 0.255 AU; eccentricity ≈ 1.20; hyperbolic excess velocity ≈ 26 km s⁻¹.

Disc.: 19 October 2017, by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope, Haleakalā Observatory, Maui, Hawaii.
