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.

DJ Python - Essential Mix 2024-01-20

“I am in you and I am you. No one can understand this until he has lost his mind.”
— rumi

We are all interconnected beings part of a higher fabric of existence: one unified body of energy, here to experience, explore, and uncover our true nature beyond the limits of the ego and superficial identity. The concept that we are separate from one another may be one of the greatest illusions of all.. and only once this sense of Self dissolves will the illusory veil be lifted, allowing us to transcend our identification with form and experience everything as part of a greater whole, with love as the fluid in which the diverse facets of the Self are floating.

Rather than focusing on harmonic structure, I created this mix from a very intuitive heart space, only now realizing how much it symbolizes a chapter from my internal world. From the light and airy melodies to the moody and activated textures, this soundscape really emulates the transformation I’ve been navigating on an emotional and spiritual level. I feel that this journey truly highlights that rawness within the human experience, revealing the fluctuations in emotions that we all move through— from happiness and peace to grief and sadness, from constriction and uncertainty to freedom and clarity— that innate pull between yin and yang woven into every being.

It's powerful just how deeply music can carry us, and with music having played such a significant role in my life for so long, I feel overwhelmed with emotion to share this part of my story with you, and to launch this special project in collaboration with döb (@dobmusique). Like everything in life, some genres have had their season, but the world of ambient, medicine, and down-tempo have grown roots in my soul and opened a gateway for my heart and mind to expand. Some of you may know me for the playlists I curate, but now I finally have the space to bring these experiences to life here with Glass Garden, a beautiful and unexpected project that was born in the most organic way.

Thank you Vince, and to all the listeners and creators who will participate in this special project.

Glass Garden 002 | alys — Return to Lemuria

"An absolute piece of craftsmanship. It demands full attention, packed with intricate details and brilliant electronic experimentation. A long and fully developed journey. A delight from start to finish. We wish you lucid dreams."

Set recorded in Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular), during Lucid Dreams on October 4th.

Samuel van Dijk is a Dutch electronic music producer and DJ who explores contrasts in his music, blending genres like electro, techno, dub, and ambient. Under his aliases - VC-118A, Mohlao (@mohlao), and Multicast Dynamics (@multicastdynamics) -he creates immersive soundscapes that move from outer space to oceanic depths. His modular approach to live performances allows him to shift from energetic breakbeats to abstract, textured soundscapes. With releases on respected labels such as Delsin and Frustrated Funk, van Dijk's work is known for its melancholic moods and deeply absorbing grooves, whether in clubs or experimental settings. His sets range from gritty techno and futuristic electro to atmospheric ambient, always delivering emotionally rich experiences.

..A lucid dream is a dream in which a person becomes aware that he or she is dreaming and it becomes quite different from an ordinary dream.  For one thing It can be strikingly realistic to the point of producing a convincing replica of the normal physical world and for another it has its own psychological characteristics and range of emotional reactions which have to be considered independently of these experienced in normal dreaming..."

In the late 1960s, psychologists Celia Green and Charles McCreery published Lucid Dreams, a study exploring the paradox of consciousness during sleep, describing the possibility of conscious perception in dreams, often involving out-of-body experiences and hallucinations. Later, in the mid-90s, the UK ambient label EM:T released a minimalist ambient masterpiece titled Lucid Dreams, featuring texts and narration by Celia Green. Thanks to Astral Industries, this forgotten gem was reissued on vinyl a few years ago, in a deluxe edition with illustrations by the renowned Theo Ellsworth.

Several lucid dream sessions have been held by candlelight, featuring guests such as Ario, Camu, Coeval, Doozer, F-on, JL Maire, Urtzi, Patrick Russell, Vicki Siolos, SUNA, and most recently, Multicast Dynamics.

"A space where the pulse of the city merges with sounds dancing between serenity and eruption, like a fractured dream in suspended time. Here, waves of bass envelop you, while rhythms twist free from the bounds of time and space, leaving you adrift in a sonic universe that refuses to be entirely predictable."

Warm, emotive, and explorative - a set of characteristics that make up the enchanting vision of Zara (@zaraolsen), one of the most exciting talents hailing from the Australian scene. Whether it’s IDM, drum and bass, or techno, the Kinesis label-head fuses it all with an enigmatic sense of delicacy. Her distinctive sound on the crossroads of the calm and the energetic resulted in releases on labels such as Animalia, Salt Mines, and Pure Space. Her sets have been turning heads within the international electronic music scene, playing at places like De School, Tresor, and Donato Dozzy’s Spazio Disponsible label showcase. Harmonizing the ethereal and the ominous - Zara takes a gentle yet firm grip on minds and souls on and off the dancefloor.

Mostra (@mostrabcn) is an independent, small-format festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music which emerged by the end of 2021 as a counterpoint to the macro-festivals and the overcrowded, commercial and impersonal offerings of other large events held in Barcelona. Mostra will be celebrating its fourth edition from 17 to 20 April in 2025.

HOCast #223 x Mostra - Zara

Mariachiara Troianiello, the Italian sound artist behind the moniker Katatonic Silentio, works at the crossroads of electronic music, performing arts and sound studies. Active as a DJ for more than 15 years, her sets adopt multiple forms, fluctuating between an analogue past and a technological, fast-paced future. At times, her sets focus on pure abstraction, consisting of ethereal soundscapes that seek to transcend the tangible through a mix of musique concrète, world, spoken word, ambient or dub. At others, they come across as concrete and club-oriented, crossing techno, broken beats or drum'n'bass.

For MNMT 457, Katatonic Silentio presents this exceptional mix that intricately evolves with subtle and nuanced layers into a delicate yet mind-bending trip of unconventional rhythms and textures. Float into the depths now.

Human Lessons #119 - Nothus

Samuel van Dijk is a true musical chameleon, a producer who moves fluidly between distinct sonic identities. Whether crafting electro-tinged works as VC-118A, deep dub textures as Mohlao, or the submerged aquatic soundscapes of Multicast Dynamics, his mastery of the craft is absolute.

Recorded within the intimate glow of the Monument Festival after-party in Oslo, this session captures the final, tender exhale of a weekend defined by shared energy. Multicast Dynamics guides us into a restorative space where time dilates and the pulse slows. He navigates a kaleidoscope of genre and emotion. Shifting effortlessly between the meditative drift of new age, ethereal ambient soundscapes, and the grounded, organic rhythms of trip-hop and experimental world music, the set is unified by a palpable sense of warmth. It is a selection mixed with mood and the heart of love - a gentle, reality-warping trip designed to heal and elevate.
