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.
