Radio is a Silent Bell

During his radio residency for Radio Robida Jack Bardwell shares some of his research and reflections on the tradition of bell ringing and public broadcasting. In this meandering show he looks at musical re-harmonisation as both a metaphor and tangible action for subversion. A journey from interventions in bell towers by Antonio Della Marina to the music of Harmonimix.

Ep. 0 Radio is a Silent Bell — Harmonious Subversion / Jack Bardwell / 25.06.2023

The third episode is a journey into Alberto di Lenardo Works: “An Attic Full of Trains” by Carlotta di Lenardo, published by Mack Books (2020). “One day during a family lunch he revealed to Carlotta di Lenardo, another of his not very secret passions – his enduring love for photography – and shared with her his archive of more than 8,000 photographs: a body of vernacular work capturing over half a century of life in vivid colour. ”Alberto’s work reminds us of the typical scenarios of Italian films: nuance, shades and sounds alternate between the most important soundtracks of our bel paese.

How to imagine a radio station which is located in a super-remote place – Topolò/Topolove, with its 22 inhabitants – but will speak to a wide community, scattered in the whole Europe? How could the geographical marginality be interpreted to develop a radio program which is contextual but also speaks to the world?

Radio stations are many times place and community makers. Besides being aethereal – as the voice of the speakers – they many times happen to be physical spaces for people to gather. They are means to cultivate communities. The paradox of starting a radio station in an almost uninhabited village on the mountains opens many fertile questions about Robida’s community and its relation to this specific margin where Robida works and partly lives. How would it be possible to combine a hyper-specificity, which Robida is fond of, with the will of being relevant for those who are far away from us?
