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.

"A hush settles over the winter landscape as shadow and melody intertwine. Field recordings drift in like cold air through a cracked window, grounding each passage in a world both distant and near. Darker currents move beneath the surface, yet something gentle keeps breaking through — small motifs, brief clearings, moments of quiet lift. An abstract, atmospheric journey shaped by contrast, restraint, and a kind of beauty that thrives in low light."

William Selman (@wselman) is a Portland, Oregon-based multi-disciplinary artist whose sound work uses field recordings, synthesizers, acoustic instruments, and digital processing techniques to explore themes such as place and non-places, embodiment, atmosphere, and the dialectic between the real and the artificial. He co-manages the Critique of Everyday Life label with Chris Miller (Gunnar Haslam) and plays in the improvisational trio Wild Card of Cascadia with Paul Dickow (Strategy) and Marcus Fischer. He has released works on Old Technology, Hausu Mountain, Mysteries of the Deep, Digitalis, and Critique of Everyday Life.

HOCast #270 - William Selman

Dylan Tihon (known as su:zy) is a Brussels-based DJ and key member of GIMIC, where he leads communication and helps shape the radio. Through his dreamy, hypnotic sets, he delivers emotive journeys- blending progressive melodies, trance-infused textures, and groovy rhythms that resonate deeply with listeners. His GIMIC residency becomes a space of both concentration and connection, where every mix feels like an intimate sonic narrative.

Sound can be perceived as a texture, color or as a path waving trough your brain and body. An Intensity heavier or lighter, coming from the ground or running in a high frequency that resonates with a color palette.
synæ is about this neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory leads to the experience of another.
