S&T Journal Riv.03: Biophilia by Giulia Cavaliere

The meta-narrative produced by futurists and futurist-inspired practitioners in the early decades of the 20th century was a hint of sound projection towards new possible futures: Russolo imagined the whole concept of noise art as a development of traditional musical processes, but also that of a society open to change. In this mix inspired by the Follia Creativa concept (Sali & Tabacchi Journal’s RIV.02, in which the author of this mix, Giovani Coppola, wrote a piece precisely about this topic), we travel the boundaries of a future pursued as an obsession, narrated by artists who were able to imagine it between provocative mystical turns, sonic evolutions and challenging avant-garde territories.

This week for our Mixtape Series @paolalaf from @nts_radio is taking us back to the #90s Italian #hiphop scene with “Viene e Va”. Paola Laf is a radio producer from Bari, currently based in London. Mostly working behind the scenes [at NTS Radio], she occasionally DJs and curates mixes and playlists of different genres for various media outlets. This special mix for Sali & Tabacchi focuses on Italian hip hop from the late 90s-early 00s. Some of the songs reminds her of her teenage years in Italy, others were discovered later on once she moved abroad as a mean to reconnect with her roots.
