Expanded Radio Research Unit is an independent radio art platform for innovative works at the intersection of music, spoken word, performance and sound to challenge the limits of broadcasting; a laboratory which considers radio as an art form and a practice of experimentation and creation of multiple sonic possibilities and imaginary spaces. The aim is also to interconnect different cultural and spatial spheres and to explore the techno-sociological nature of radio, alongside its heterogeneous practices of artistic production.
Conceived and curated by sound artist Katatonic Silentio, Expanded Radio Research Unit takes place as a monthly residency on Radio Raheem, the web radio located in the iconic Museum of Design Triennale Milano.

The Polish Radio Experimental Studio (PRES) was founded in 1957 in Warsaw by the official state broadcaster of Poland. It was launched as a space for the creation of independent compositions, sound illustrations for radio dramas, soundtracks for theatre, film and dance. 
The establishment of the Polish Radio Experimental Studio was brainchild of Włodzimierz Sokorski, head of the Radio and Television Committee. Between 1952 and 1956 he was Minister of Culture, as well as a strong advocate of socialist realism, fighting against any manifestation of modernity in music. 
Created only a few years after similar experimental-oriented radio units in Paris (1948), Cologne (1951) and Milan (1955), under the direction of the Studio's founder, Józef Patkowski, PRES became a laboratory for experimentation. 
Despite this, PRES' output has been underrepresented in the history of 20th century music.

Civilistjävel! (19/05/22)

On the occasion of the reissue of her 1984 album The Divine Punishment, today Expanded Radio Research Unit dedicates the entire episode to Diamanda Galás through a selection of her outstanding works. 
Diamanda Galás is an American musician, singer-songwriter, visual artist, and soprano and activist. Her commitment to addressing social issues and her involvement in collective action has made her concentrate on themes such as AIDS, mental illness, despair, loss of dignity, political injustice, historical revisionism, and war crimes. 
Belonging to a very particular field of contemporary vocal research and performance art, she uses the voice as an instrument and enriches it by interweaving the technical with the expressive.
Galás has presented mainly her own work, but her live performances have also included works by other musicians, such as the avant-garde composers Iannis Xenakis and Vinko Globokar, jazz musician Bobby Bradford, saxophonist John Zorn, and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, among others.

forms of minutiae presents 'live at kwia’, a fragment of a recorded electroacoustic performance by field recordist and artist @pablodiserens

→ f-o-m.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-kwia

Amid winter, on one of the last nights of 2021, a group of people gather in the welcoming womb of a listening bar. Bordered by tiled walls and embraced by a simulated fog, cradled listeners soon forgo outer fluctuations. From a distance, dogs’ barks and bats’ calls reverberate into the space, Pablo Diserens’ concert has begun. What unfolds next is a weaving of biophonic field recordings with hums of blown and stroke glass bottles. The emerging electroacoustic ecoscape oscillates between animal stridulations and Helmholtz resonances. Wavering wind pulses and mirroring clangs intertwine with ultrasonic drones bringing the audience into oneiric realms. Ants, grasshoppers, and crickets infuse the room with vespertine warmth. Windows ooze with condensation. Winter seems far, as if morphed into a balmy summer night. A new landscape materializes, birthed by the set of frequencies at play. Buccal air gently throbs in and out of the glass vessels in glistening gestures. Pablo blows into their empty bottles one last time before handing the stage to a sizzling underwater mixture of rain drops and insectean accents. 

The recorded fragment stops here, yet, that night, the formed sonic window into this temporary landscape pursued its course. The auditory encounters that followed now only exist in the hazy memories of wintertide listeners.

Pablo Diserens (they/she) is a field recordist, musician and artist devoted to non-human realities, attentive listening, and possible forms of interspecies coexistence. In solidarity with a wounded planet, their practice invites people to attune to the present moment in an attempt at rethinking caring strategies and our relationship with the world and its biotic communities. → www.pablodiserens.studio
