In this episode, Dronica meets Danilo Casti.

Electroacoustic musician and composer, Danilo Casti was born in Cagliari (Sardinia island, Italy) and has been present in the Italian electronic music scene since the early 2000s, working in live performance, contemporary dance, video, and multimedia installation.

He performs either as a solo artist or as a member of collective projects. Since 2018, he has been part of Dalila Kayros's band as an electronic musician, composer and arranger.

He is also part of Alessandro Carboni's contemporary dance company as a composer and performer. He has collaborated with several artists and he performed at various festivals of electronic music, theatre, and contemporary dance around Europe, USA, and Asia. His music style includes synthetic and concrete sounds organised in different ways, from straightforward composition to an algorithmic generative approach.

His career has been strongly influenced by experimental theatre and contemporary dance, and his music is based around atmospheric composition and soundscapes. Collaborating with Dalila Kayros, he explores more rhythmic and harmonic textures, combining his experimental, electroacoustic attitude with a songwriting style.

ANIMAMI, the latest record by Dalila Kayros and Danilo Casti, has recently received the Mario Cervo Award for Best Album 2022.

Andy Backhouse presents a two hour show of new and unusual music and sounds - playing everything from Free Jazz to Field Recordings. This is an open-format show with a difference.

Joe and Chanelle’s audio recordings encompass ambient sounds, conversation, experimental composition and improvised instrumental response. Cassette drones, loop pedals, voice and guitar are used to echo, mimic or bend over bird calls, thunderstorms, night sounds, indistinguishable chatter, museum reverberations and urban movement. These moments captured to tape are presented in two halves as an A-side/B-side format.

Enriched by visual counterpoints for each episode, Bruna’s critical eye forms an ambiguous tonal narrative from Jake's method of stumbling into excellence. Mountain, valley, glacier, and urban horizon are presented in stereo format, to parallel the A-side/B-side format.

This program has been made on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, we pay respect to the Elders both past and present.

Project lead and sound by Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier. Creative direction by Bruna Volpi. Photography by Jake Terrey.

Introducing a special episode by Snezhana Reizen.

Antenna. The madness of the day...

Antenna is a series of works on transduction with the sole sound source taking place - radio waves. Here I was devoured by discontinuity and discharge inherent to the "miracle of the wireless. the omnipresence.. the overleaping of frontiers” - the radio, like it was marked by R. Arnheim.

This piece emerged in two phases: the first one can be called a transduction - a process of conveying potential energy from discharge into a signal. It was a spontaneous live radio-noise set recorded close to the closed shelter. This summer
I found myself stuck in between absence and presence in amplified senses,
confronting the avalanche of the noises erupting on us by this world, facing the chaos, “embracing alienation”, holding a degree of disbelief..
that this "disparity can be modulated”..

Yet, seeking the perceptual transmutation.

Biologists say there are two phases for the perception, so that after transduction of the signal, a transformation should take its place.
Following this logic, the second phase of this work appeared as an improvised procession with effects and filters - a real-time mix-ture, with slight subsequent recombinations.

If there's something one can call a ground for this piece, besides its sound source, it dwells upon a chance. It is a conversation with a present moment beyond the borders by a flying carpet of propagating radio waves.

"Antenna" was created drawing on ambisonic spatialisation with a mixed approach, so that some sounds move through in a chaotic manner, while the trajectories of others were meticulously calibrated. In doing so, I did not seek to determine the exact location or direction for each sound particle, but rather to underline the traces - their nomadic movements within the whole sphere of the revealed ensemble.
