Tocca il Futuro w/ Waswaas - LYL Radio - 9th September 2021

The sea knocks on the doors of your unconscious. Wait, it is not something real, it has no chemical trait vaguely similar to water. Rather, it is a metallic fluid, a sea of liquid mercury stretching along the shell of a parallel planet. In this place, floating lights have fun switching off, reigniting, they strengthen generating, emitting electrical discharges of different intensities. In the immersion, the metallic fluid plays as a mind mirror, lights are memory traces, the descent into depths is a fragmented journey in lysergic apnoea, you emerge getting the old oxygen of reality.

Anatolian Weapons - Immersion

Tocca il futuro invites for the sixth show on @lyl_radio the Italian-Swedish multidisciplinary art project @mountfog, established in 2011 by Nicola Domaneschi, Erich Grunewald and Marco Verdi. Their research focuses mainly on sound art and documentary photography, with a particular interest in sound perception, the human-made landscape, human-nature interaction, and the symbolic representation of architecture and artefacts. For this show they selected one hour of music ranging from abstract, field recordings, ambient and modern experimental music, collecting sounds from a diverse set of musical styles, materials, sources, that somehow we felt connected with an hypothetical, imaginative exploration of auditory illusions, “sonic phantoms”, sound perception, and spectralism. This mix also includes their own forthcoming track ‘Fantasma’, out soon on Tocca il futuro.

Tocca il Futuro w/ Mount Fog - LYL Radio - 24th February 2022

Tocca il futuro and Soave Records are happy to announce Tiziano Popoli's new release 'Sull'Accordo Mimetico'. A sound installation commissioned Marco Paolini, artistic director of the ParcoScenico Festival, held in Treviso, Italy, in the early 80’s. 

“Sull’Accordo Mimetico was commissioned by the Italian actor and director Marco Paolini, who - at the time - was the artistic director of the ParcoScenico Festival, held in Treviso, Italy. Since the area where artists and the public gathered after the Festival was located to a very busy street, Marco asked me for a sound installation that could work as some sort of a defensive barrier for the street noise. I suggested that my work, rather than hiding the noise should aim to harmonize the disturbances coming from the street within musical structures and forms, without burdening or saturating too much the acoustic spectrum of the place. In this way, I thought about sonic veils, consisting of repetitive - but also light and discreet - harmonic-rhythmic structures, since the Festival took place in a beautiful centenary park, i also integrated the music with natural sounds and animal calls, always as an attempt to bridge these sound events and the other materials that made up the composition. The human voice constitutes a central element in this musique d'ameublement project, as a constant source of memory of places and times - here with many references to traditional music for children. In its original form, the work consisted of three 2-track magnetic tapes, lasting about 30 minutes each, which were broadcast in sequence. This edition represents a synthesis of the original installation, with a total duration of approximately 56 minutes.”

After first appearing on TIF003, @mountfog are back on Tocca il Futuro with 'Fantasma'!

Fantasma was conceived by Mount Fog for the sound installation CHIARA • dispositivo di ascolto a distanza, a site-specific art project curated by Standards, held in September 2021 around the ancient Chiaravalle Abbey in Milan. The idea behind the intervention was to use the iconic lantern tower of the abbey as a “listening device”, through a specially developed sound diffusion system. As an environmental work, the installation could be freely experienced in the surroundings of the monastery, fading away through the village of Chiaravalle until a distance of about 200 meters. By looking for a sort of repetitiveness and ritual within sound, and by triggering unexpected listening practices, the project attempted to interpret the identity of the bell tower as a soundmark of the territory.

CHIARA was developed from an idea by Terzo Paesaggio, with Federgat. Curated by Standards. Technical design by Concrete Acoustics. The artists who took part in the project are Nicola Ratti, Andrew Pekler, Attila Faravelli, Ellen Arkbro, Jessica Ekomane, Marta De Pascalis, Mount Fog.

Fantasma is about a hidden structure and its ghost floating into a realm of strange harmonic overtone meditations.

Tocca il Futuro w/ Devid Ciampalini - LYL Radio - 1st February 2024

'The Double Face of the Zero' revolves around the progressive crumbling of the human condition, trapped in a Babel of toxic languages, hypnotised by seductive as much as false myths. The traversed architectures are empty or abandoned; inside, only faint echoes of mechanical rhythms reminiscent/incubus of models destined for passive consumption and the reproduction of consensus. Babbling, bare syllables are all that remains of a one-way communication. The new alphabets of communication systems do not need expressive space but consensus time. This journey is closed, however, by a text that is, in its own way, full of hope and that, like a compass, indicates a possible escape route from this mortal spiral of spectacular-media-political consensus. The sound sources from which the work originates are multiple. All electronically processed so as not to show their origin, in order to place themselves in an “other” space. All this not out of sonic sadism but out of a desire to elaborate a sound palette that is as personal as possible. A palette of sounds that tries to place itself outside the fences and categories that delimit even the area of research music, which instead, by definition, should be as model-free as possible.

Daniele Ciullini - The Double Face of the Zero

Tocca il Futuro invites the experimental cellist and composer @martinabertoni on @lyl_radio. Her music channels emotional and physical depths, while exploring the liminal spaces between perception of space and sound, through compositional and performing practices aimed to challenge the listener’s experience. Classically trained cellist, Bertoni developed her research and practices around experimental and film music, for which her cello and her original works are featured in numerous works and soundtracks for films, series and documentaries. Expect some experimental ambience morphing into somewhat electronic-minimal style.

Happy to host on @lyl_radio, the producer, promoter and a drummer for the noise rock band Midnite Cobras @burago.

We’re starting the new year with an exciting episode on @lyl_radio, featuring a one-hour mix by musician and visual artist Daniele Veronese.

This show is carefully structured into two symmetrical yet contrasting parts, balancing opposing energies and moods. It was recorded live in real-time, without any overdubs, using a combination of tracks from his personal collections and live improvisation. Voices, objects, piano, synths, and a drum machine were layered together to create a rich and immersive soundscape.

Tocca il Futuro w/ Daniele Veronese - LYL Radio - 16th Jan 2025

We are thrilled to reveal CQR, the ninth release from Tocca il Futuro and the latest visionary project from the extraordinary musician and visual artist, @dnlvrns. CQR, short for "C’est qu’il reste", represents a bold new chapter in Veronese’s artistic journey, seamlessly blending the worlds of sound and visual art into an immersive, multi-sensory experience.

The music of CQR unfolds like an intricate tapestry, weaving ambient sounds that are sometimes abstract, sometimes tangible, reflecting the more intimate and enigmatic aspects of memory. His approach blends acoustic instruments with electronic textures, crafting an atmosphere that feels suspended between past and present, between what was and what could have been. This is not just music—it’s a reflection on time, memory, and the ways in which they shape our identities.

An essential part of CQR is the seamless connection between the music and the accompanying visual artwork, both crafted by Veronese himself. The album cover serves as a visual counterpart to the sound, capturing the blurred nature of memories and their constant evolution. The artwork features abstract details and dissolving forms, mirroring the fading and fluctuating nature of thoughts and emotions over time. The visual and sonic elements work in tandem, creating a rich, immersive experience that delves deeper into the concept of memory and its ephemeral quality.

Welcome to the special Tocca il Futuro show on LYL radio, dedicated to David Lynch.

This is not just a tribute, it’s a journey into the sonic imagination of one of the most visionary artists of our time. The musical selection in this episode pays homage to Lynch’s universe, tracing his artistic path from his groundbreaking experiments in sound design—shaped alongside the legendary Alan R. Splet—to his musical explorations with unconventional artists and composers.

Let yourself be transported into a world where dreams and nightmares intertwine, giving life to brilliant visions—an experience that defies logic and awakens our deepest emotions just like his art!

This month we're heading to Kasai, Japan, to explore the world of Tobira Records, a record shop and independent label curated by Takahiro Yorifuji. For this episode, Takahiro has created a 60-minute mix that reflects the essence of the store: a meditative blend of ambient textures, gentle drones, and immersive soundscapes. A sonic journey through the influences that define Tobira's shelves.

We’re closing out the season with @dorisdana, the sound project of Colombian-born artist Mónica Mesa. Known for weaving together field recordings, whispered vocals, slow-moving drones, and spacious acoustic textures, dana’s music dwells in liminal spaces; where emotion, memory, and atmosphere blur. Expect an hour-long mix that drifts through the cinematic, the experimental, and the quietly powerful.

Tocca il Futuro w/ Doris Dana - LYL Radio - 19th Jun 2025

[TIFMIX01] This mix is focused on music released in Italy - mostly during the 80s, a crazy decade for Italian music. On one hand it has been the only decade when Italian artists has made international dance hits (Den Harrow - Future Brain is the first example coming up to my mind atm), on the other hand a lot of under the radar indie labels released an enormous amount of great experimental / ambient stuff, mostly on cassette but sometimes on vinyl too. Many of these recordings has seen the light for a second time as they’ve been reissued in the last few years, but most of them are still waiting to be brought to a bigger audience. File under: Ambient, left-wing fanzines experiments, mail art, sound poetry, library-notreally-library, spoken word, Italian indie pressings.

[TIFMIX06] @federico-cassetta is a dj, collector and producer for a decade. His musical culture orbits a broad spectrum of influences and contaminations. Free from the concept of gender Federico hosts NERV RADIO SHOW, a mix of ideas and emotions minutely and dreamily woven into a common narrative thread.
"You are in, you feel them, you hear them, hidden. In space, the distant reverbs of harmonies of new attendances. You are in but elsewhere. Suspended but prisoner. Listen to it! Meditate!"

Federico Cassetta - Nascosto

[TIFMIX07] @atoloi is a blending of atmospheric pads and dynamic rhythms — a perfect match between ambient soundscapes and techno sonority. Devotee of nature, in Atoloi's productions he explores sound creating a mellow amalgam of layers using over- reverberated synths, field recordings and self-created samples. In this mix he tried to create a sound representation of a distant dimension where you can get lost between layered environments, subdued voices and amalgamated sounds in a single dense flow. A universe where time and space do not exist, where the Memory melts into the ether, where remembrances of lost places, vanishing sensations and visions now almost completely faded slowly resurface.

[TIFMIX11] 11th episode of the Tocca il Futuro mix series comes from Margherita di Savoia, musician and composer @truemantic. Truemantic is the creature of Toto Ronzulli. Influenced by the goth music scene from the 80’s along with references to the Cold Wave, Post-Punk and Industrial, Truemantic takes us around in hell through dystopian and unpleasant momenta followed by illogical atonal resolutions. In December, 2017 he released his first on-vinyl remix work with Tocca il Futuro Records, followed by his debut album “Truemantic” and his last single “Destruction” out via Milan-based label Marguerite Records. He is currently working on the making of his second album. A combination of contrasting resonances and different soundscapes that result in 70 minutes of quite atmosphere.

Truemantic - Antithesis

[TIXMIX12] 12th episode of the Tocca il futuro mix series comes from Tuscan / Milanese dj and digger Gabriele Casiraghi - Sunny Crypt. Following up last year’s first chapter, this mix is again focusing on weird Italian music from the past. 
Includes 60’s electronic library experiments, mid 70’s ambient-proggers, Tuscanian Avantgarde theatre , Sardinian organic folk chants, 80s emo waves recorded near my hometown, a guide to hypnosis and a lot more odd stuff.
Italy had (and luckily still has) a dense underbrush of small indie labels that released an amount of brave experimental / ambient / wave stuff; many of these recordings has seen the light for a second time as they’ve been reissued in the last few years, but most of them are still waiting to be brought to a bigger audience. 
See you next year for 3rd chapter : )
