In this episode, Dronica meets Eraldo Bernocchi for our first guest mix of the year.

Eraldo Bernocchi is an Italian composer, arranger, producer and guitarist with a solid reputation as an all round sonic sculptor. Starting his career in the late 70’s, Eraldo co-founded the conceptual audio project SIGILLUM S, a highly acclaimed international cult act.

In the 90’s, together with his wife, the visual artist Petulia Mattioli, Eraldo established Verba Corrige Productions, which became the base for a raft of notable audio visual projects and cooperations.

A relentless sound explorer, Eraldo Bernocchi has collaborated with numerous artists including Mick Harris, Bill Laswell (official), Nils Petter Molvaer, Harold Budd, Russell Mills, Toshinori Kondo, Raiz, Almamegretta, Spectre, Sensational, DJ Disk, Professor Shebab, Thomas Fehlmann, Zu, DJ Olive, Markus Stockhausen, Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Robin Guthrie, Colin Edwin and Balazs Pandi, among many others.

In addition to regular work scoring music for adverts and other multimedia projects, Eraldo has composed film music for Academy Award winner Gabriele Salvatores and produced numerous art installations with Petulia Mattioli, as well as other artists including Russell Mills and Harold Budd.
Uniquely, Eraldo is also known for being invited to play and organise several special events for H.H. The Dalai Lama in Italy.

In 2008, together with music lover Giacomo Bruzzo, Eraldo founded RareNoise Records, a new London based label, which aims to showcase a wide range of cutting edge music. The label has since become an important conduit championing several forward thinking and original artists, as well as releasing a number of Eraldo’s own recordings, including with Tony Wakeford, Colin Edwin, Ted Parsons just to name a few.

In may 2018, the long awaited Cy Twombly documentary film soundtrack album he composed, was presented at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art NYC. After that, many other great collaborations and releases followed, such as the duo with electronic music wonder Nadia Struiwigh or the duo with Gareth Davis among others. Eraldo recently released an amazing new solo work as SIMM on the excellent Ohm Resistance.

Eraldo presents a selection of music and speech (in the following order) by Gaudi, Nadia Struiwigh, Mark Stewart & Nadia Struiwigh, Nils Petter Molvaer, Nils Petter Molvaer, Paolo Bandera, Nils Petter Molvaer, Nadia Struiwigh, Alex Patterson, Leon Switch, Hoshiko Yamane, Paolo Bandera & Jo Quail, Christopher Chaplin, Colin Edwin, Jo Quail, Midori Hirano.

Sukkube is Charlène Levasseur's musical project. She explores sound synthesis and musique concrete through a modular synthesizer, blending sequences and samples. War and love guide her artistic work, reflecting an exploration of the tensions between conflict and frenzy.

Graduating from the Institut Superior of Arts of Toulouse in 2019, she began performing live in 2021 and has played at iconic electronic music venues in Germany, Denmark, and Austria. In 2024, she joined the IPN collective, where she continues her research, produces events, and teaches electronic music. Her productions have been released on several labels, including Detroit Underground, Augmented Research, Associate Records, Diffuse Reality, BCCO, être audio and more.

One of her notable works is the EP « Strike » released on June 17, 2023, which features tracks like « RS1 » and « Merry Crisis ». Her work is characterized by a bittersweet musical experience, where each note and sample tells a story of resilience and vulnerability. She is recognized for her contributions to the electronic music scene and her explorations in post-industrial soundscapes.

Twice-monthly broadcast showcasing electronic music produced by members of the female:pressure international network of female, transgender and non-binary artists practising in the fields of electronic music and digital arts.

Don Giovanni is one of the archetypes of our culture, one of its founding myths. And myth is not an inert fable but an active, creative force, it nourishes, in a surprisingly circular way, the very culture that gave it life.
Over the course of four centuries, Don Giovanni has taken on - or disguised himself in - countless and extraordinarily varied forms.

With this audiovisual project, we seek to explore the recurring and often mutable archetype concealed beneath Mozart’s masterpiece, creating a performance that draws on a contemporary aesthetic and language. Mozart’s music itself undergoes metamorphosis, electronic, sampled and manipulated, from old vinyl records to acoustic renditions, serving as the foundation for literary “evocations” of Don Giovanni, from Tirso de Molina to José Saramago, from Molière to Baudelaire, Hoffmann, Kierkegaard, Byron, and many others. And, of course, the operatic libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte.

The project includes readings, sung passages, and historical recordings of actors’ performances, a sound carousel that conjures the situations, characters, texts, and voices that have given life to the Don Giovanni myth across different historical periods, authors, and its continual metamorphoses. Whether invoking the unrepentant libertine or the punished sinner, the paradise of the senses, the complexity of human relationships, or the hell of damnation.

Paolo F. Bragaglia is an electronic composer born in an entirely analog world, who has stubbornly journeyed into our digital age. Ever fascinated by the metamorphosis of sound across genres, over the years he has expanded his interests toward the intersections between music and moving images, dance, architectural spaces, visual arts, spoken word, and theatre.

This has led to an intense career as a composer of film scores, soundtracks, and multimedia performances, alongside record production, sound art, and sound installations. He is the creator and artistic director of the electroacoustic music festival “Acusmatiq”, held for twenty years in Ancona at the Mole Vanvitelliana, and the founder and president of the Museo del Synth Marchigiano (Museum of the Marchigian Synth).

In this episode, Nathaniel Mann and Carlos Monleon discuss the activation of different bodies of knowledge and efforts of riverine conservation involved in the process of River Breathing.

River Breathing is an immersive sound installation in which the audience can experience the breathing of the rivers Ebro, Segre and other affluents as a symphony composed of the life cycles of the various species that participate in the pulse of the river. The protagonists of the installation are a choir of naiads, or freshwater clams, which are endangered throughout the Iberian Peninsula but especially in Catalonia and Aragon due to the relentless denaturing of their habitats ,the threat of several invasive (let's call them vigorous!) species, and increasing levels of river pollution.

This choir embodies and gives voice to the river, as the mythological Naiads -spirits of fountains and rivers in ancient Greece- once did. The work transforms scientific models of the metabolism of the Ebro river and its affluents based on historical and real-time data available through sensors and remote sensing systems into multi-channel sound in collaboration with musicians and the help of computer scientists from the UdL (University of Lleida) and biologists from IRTA (Catalunya) and IPE (Aragón).

A series of metabolic scores are produced from the data to be interpreted by musicians , the final composition is completed with underwater recordings of the clams in their conservation tanks. The installation consists of a sculptural sound system made in ceramics and other materials designed in collaboration with sound engineers. A lighting scheme completes the installation.

One of the project’s aims is to make known the complexity of the life of rivers and the delicate nature of maintaining their balance as a way of establishing a relationship of proximity with them and forming emotional bonds of care and responsibility with riparian ecosystems.

Scientific advisor: Rosa Maria Gil. River ecology: Enrique Navarro and Francisco Comín. Clam conservation work: Keiko Nakamura. Sound composition and lighting: Santiago Latorre. Castanets: Miguel Ángel Berna.

Carlos Monleon works with a variety of processes and materials, both living and non-living, that result in sculptural and participatory artworks.These span across different levels of bodily sensation and awareness; from the microbiological to the performative and social bodies. His main line of work traces evolutionary processes that stem from digestion and cognition and result in the distribution of biological processes across multi-species entanglements and cybernetic metabolisms.

Carlos has developed collaborative projects at spaces such as Autoitalia, Seventeen Gallery and Diaspore Project Space, London, Cráter Invertido, Mexico, Hangar, Lisbon as well as institutions such as CA2M, and Matadero, Madrid, HIAP Helsinki, and has shown his individual practice at LUMA Arles, Z33, Istanbul Design Biennial, Porto Design Biennial or the Tallin Biennial amongst others.

Nathaniel Mann (born 1982) is an experimental composer, performer and sound designer. Oscillating between music and sound, Mann has a compositional practice that is expansive in scope and varied in form. He takes on many roles in his work, including researcher, instrument-maker, archive-digger, surround-sound designer, filmmaker, broadcaster, storyteller, producer, curator, entrepreneur, sonic-artist and folksinger. He is also one third of the experimental folk ensemble, Dead Rat Orchestra.

Mann’s compositions probe history, politics and audio culture, resisting established formats and frameworks for creating music. Each work is crafted, adapted and nuanced towards its setting, fuelled by continued dialogue and collaboration with professionals and enthusiasts from varied fields. These have included filmmakers, musicians, visual artists, academics, curators, a pigeon fancier and a swordsmith.

Mann has explored many subjects including the colonial residue of recorded music in South Africa, in dialogue with Andile Vellum, a deaf dancer/choreographer based in Cape Town (Cape Sound Stories, 2016); the psycho-geographic horror of England’s public execution sites (Tyburnia, 2014-17); and the deeply rooted traditions interlinking noise and social control, creating bronze musical meat cleavers with swordsmith Neil Burridge (Rough Music, 2014). He was awarded the Paul Hamlyn Award 2019, Arts Foundation Fellow 2018 and his work Pigeon Whistles (2013), a flying orchestra of flute-carrying Birmingham Roller pigeons, won the George Butterworth Prize for Composition in 2015.

Next is Hullabaloo , an American musical variety series that ran on NBC from January 12, 1965 through August 29, 1966.
Directed by Steve Binder, who went on to direct Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special,
Hullabaloo served as a big-budget, quality showcase for the leading pop acts of the day, and was also competition for another
like-minded television showcase, ABC's Shindig!.
A different host presided each week—among these were Sammy Davis, Jr., Petula Clark, Paul Anka, Liza Minnelli, Jack Jones, and
Frankie Avalon—singing a couple of his or her own hits and introducing the different acts.
Chart-topping acts who performed on the show included Dionne Warwick, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Rolling Stones,The Yardbirds, Sonny & Cher, the Supremes, Herman's Hermits, The Animals, and Roy Orbison .

Adopted by The Residents, the apocryphal Bavarian composer and music theorist N. Senada, formulated the "Theory of Obscurity",
while his "Theory of Phonetic Organization" states, "the musician should put the sounds first, building the music up from [them] rather than
developing the music, then working down to the sounds that make it up."
This method is part of the process deployed here on Hullabaloo Show #30 Dec 06 1965- with Host: Frankie Avalon .

Worthwhile Unions is a radio series by Anna Clegg with a focus on meeting points. Often collaborative and pulling heavily from online sources, the series works to extract a kind of cinema of feeling, contradicting and evasive, from dense combinations of music, sound and samples.

In this episode, Sonic Darts hosts Leipzig-based duo SYZU, bringing an hour of live performance captured in an intimate session. Spanning piano, cello and voice, their music unfolds through spontaneous dialogue — melodic fragments surfacing, dissolving and reshaping in real time.

The two musicians share an intuitive connection that allows silence as much space as sound, building pieces that feel both fragile and urgent. Drawing on free jazz, chamber music and vocal traditions, SYZU create something that resists easy categorisation.

Gwaith Swn's Sonic Darts is a London-based sound art collective presenting new sound works, performances and discussions.
