Dave Murphy - Radio Dé-coll/Age #3 (16/04/25)

A new guest mix by Donato Epiro and Gaspare Sammartano, who run @canti_magnetici, the South Italian label already featured in the February episode. This special broadcast has been programmed in response to Holy Week, as it includes traditional funeral music from the Holy Week processions in Taranto.

In 2022, on Holy Friday, Canti Magnetici released a tape entitled Musica Lacrimosa, not credited to any artist. Behind this title, which references the text of the Stabat Mater, lies a collection of funeral marches from the tradition of their hometown, Taranto, performed by band ensembles during the processions (Misteri) commemorating the passion and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

At the time, the label offered no information about the music on the tape, limiting itself to a mention of Taranto, a photograph of the city’s port after the bombing on the night between 11 and 12 November 1940, and the recording date, 1974. It was their clear intention that the work not be perceived as an archival or documentary project. Instead, they hoped listeners would focus solely on the profound drama of the compositions and performances, somehow sounding equally remote and existential due to the nature of the procession marches and the now-deteriorated medium: an amatorial tape of field recordings, whose author remains unknown.

Today, they are presenting the work in an expanded version (which includes 45 minutes of tape recordings and a newly composed 15-minute piece) to share the sadness and sense of inadequacy that, as musicians and curators of an independent record label, they deeply feel in these historical times. Donato and Gaspare hope to create an occasion for reflection: How should art respond to the despair of the present? Especially as we live in a society increasingly accustomed to ever-growing self-referential, individualistic, hedonistic, promotional, and empty-hearted ways of life.

Listening to the decayed remnants of these old funerary compositions becomes for them a way to ponder on who we are as humans and where we continue to go wrong.

The 24th "Радиант" for RS was recorded by Artem Timofeev — founder of the Картаскважин label (https://soundcloud.com/kartaskvazhin), collector, tape DJ, and promoter of cassette culture.

At the core of the mix is a selection of cassette releases from Russian labels, compiled by Artem toward the end of 2024. He supplemented the selection with works by Russian (or Russia-affiliated) artists released on international platforms. In result we have sort of snapshot of experimental music genres whose artists often favor releasing their work on tape.

According to the author, in conditions where streaming services dominate over other music listening means, cassettes offer a way to go beyond musical industry and discover an amazingly diverse slice of culture with a extensive spectrum of sound forms and aspects of visual decoration.
