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.

SCRYING THE LANDSCAPE VI w. Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack!
Molecular thinking digs deep into the way in which realities emanate from different scales. Referencing the porousness of being subverting singular ways of existence; relating to agential cuts in protein formations and ribosomal activity; or considering unstable and unpredictable formation of identities of quantum particles. Accordingly, this episode opens with the sound of two black holes colliding, expressive of mutating landscapes those recorded electromagnetic waves have emitted in their cosmic-scaled genesis, containing alien memories in the crevices of their becomings: folds within folds, macrocosms within microcosms.
The sixth chapter of Scrying the Landscape features work by multidisciplinary artist Tuomas A. Laitinen (@tuomasalaitinen), who recently released his debut album Sapiduz under the name Tal on Öm-sound. His work deals with a broad-spectrum of approaches to symbiotic processes, ecosystems and multispecies entanglements, themes which are also explored on Sapiduz. The album presents celestial medieval singing reverberating with microbial worlds of past times and futures to come.

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.

https://www.nts.live/shows/timeisaway/episodes/timeisaway-31st-october-2022
On a wet afternoon in October, in the front room of a flat in West London, the veil is pierced and the door to the underworld is ajar.

Time is Away: The Veil is Pierced 311022

I'm bound up in this Hell
I thought she wanted something real but now I can't tell
Intestines ripped out from my guts and thrown down in the well
I fell down after them but now this is where I dwell
They took my fucking skin and turned me to a fucking beast
A Great One birthed into the night so I can fucking feast
I feel the tendrils on my body and the fucking yeast
I'm yearning for your blood I'll eat every fucking piece
Mother save me
I will never be slain
I will never be slain
I will never be slain
I will never be slain

You are not the one
You are not the one
You are not the one
You are not the one
