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.

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.

In Geometrical Psychology 4, vibration becomes the primary language.
Microscopic tremors resonate through heavy bass fields, tracing invisible geometries of emotion and thought.
Here, sound is not heard — it is felt, pressing against the boundaries of perception.

Low frequencies drift like tectonic plates, slow and inevitable, while delicate oscillations shimmer at the edge of silence.
The composition unfolds as a study of resonance — between form and void, motion and stillness, body and code.
Each tone is both weight and wave, mapping the hidden architectures of the mind into sound.
