The minimalist musical composition, built from a few elements that repeat in cyclical and random patterns, serves as a dreamlike accompaniment to the transformation of the city, narrated through field recordings. It is a sonic narrative of the transition from a contemporary urban landscape to a city of the future, where nature plays a central role in our lives.
Music and Field Recordings by Giacomo Vanelli.
In April 2025, Giacomo Vanelli took part in the fourth edition of Radio Residenze, the series of artistic residencies dedicated to experimental radio and its connections with the performing arts. Hosted at Giardini Pensili in Rimini and organized by Usmaradio – Research Centre for Radiophonic Studies of University of San Marino, Vanelli developed a new work exploring the possibilities of modular synthesis and chance-driven composition. His residency culminated in a live performance broadcast on usmaradio.org, presented as part of the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day on April 24.
Giacomo Vanelli is a musician known for his deep commitment to ambient and experimental electronic music. Vanelli is distinguished by his innovative approach to composition, where the modular synthesizer is not merely an instrument but a platform for exploring chance and self-imposed limitations. This method allows him to create complex and nuanced soundscapes that reflect a highly personal and introspective creative process.

Nostalgia for the Androgynous unfolds an ethereal-telluric space for voices and concrete sound, generative drones creating arcane sounds, lo-fi recordings, lyrical witchcraft, high-hovering voices, dazed and processed in glossolalic harmonies progressively embodied in organic and mineral scenarios. Occult soundscapes melt alternative listening paths in a cathartic collision, haunting and refreshing at a time, an atmosphere of ascent and intimacy, ambiguous, nostalgic, and visceral.
Serena Dibiase is an experimental vocalist, sound artist, performer, poet. She identifies her artistic and sound productions with the androgynous name Kratu. She carries out her artistic investigation starting from intense physical/respiratory practices and through analogue and not-analogue devices, to listen to radical phonic geographies, choral happenings, interventions on biophonies and geophonies extracted from explorations in abandoned, wild, industrial spaces, in a horizontal treatment of the sources. She collaborates as a sound dramaturg and performer with independent theatre companies, and also working for Biennale Teatro ’22-’23 and disseminating her research in Italian and international festivals. She collaborates as artistic consultant in contexts of social hardship (jale, community outreach centre for addicts), considering these incursions into her broader spectrum of anthro-poetic research. He has been leading Mouth of the landscape, a transversal vocal training and listening workshop. Her EP Nostalgia for the Androgynous released by Oceani Label.

Vittoria Assembri is an experimental sound artist and independent researcher in sonic arts and public architecture. Her sound research is about field recording, sound objects, experimental music that reflect on the theme of marginal and liminal territory, in close relationship with urban plans and its crossing (human and non-human).
Her practice develops from site-specific deep listening, focusing on urban dynamics, sociocultural processes and public sphere, with which to rewrite an affective and political landscape of resistance.
Vittoria is currently in Japan since the beginning of May, where she is doing a live performance tour and working on a few artistic residencies’ projects (Kyoto Kinugasa Art Residence for Community in Kyoto, Aomori Contemporary Art Center, Lake Haruna Artist Residence).
This track is a cut-up of her analog and digital recordings around Japan: Haruna and Fuji-san volcanoes, Kinugasa district in Kyoto, tatami’s and bonsai’s artisans in Okayama, izakayas in Shinjuku-Tokyo, Taka-san cellist, nightingale flooring of the Ryōn-ji Temple, shishi odoshi, radio fm-am interferences, jingles and alerts from megaphone loudspeaker, Aomori forest’s fauna, memorial songs from inhabitants and fishermen of the Haruna cadera, etc.

CONTINUUM collaborative network radio performance TACTUS Radio Festival Republic of San Marino and worldwide 2.12.2023 CONTINUUM a collaborative radio performance conceived by Roberto Paci Dalò for TACTUS Radio Festival on the 2nd of December 2023 between 19:00 and 20:00 CET, it was broadcast on Usmaradio together with a global network of radio stations.
The challenge was to work on radical improvisation without any conduction and prior rules, giving a maximum of freedom to the participants. Most of the artists, performing from different locations, didn’t know each other and actually never talked to each other before the performance. Obviously the key of the project was an extreme attention during the performance from any single artist: “the art of listening” with 18 people performing together on-site in the Republic of San Marino and remotely from the USA, Germany, and Austria.
The result was surprising: a subtle texture of sounds with an amazing quantity of moments of silence despite the massive use of live electronics. The performance somehow proved that the planned lack of conduction can be balanced by the level of attention and involvement from the performers. It was a mesmerizing immersion in an acoustical world where electronics graciously merged with acoustical instruments and voices; a nocturnal winterreise across galaxies.
CONTINUUM intended to develop the praxis of the “telematic performance” which developed in the beginning of the 1990s. Especially around activators such as the programme ORF Kunstradio in Austria, the Ars Electronica Festival and L’Arte dell’Ascolto radio festival, seminal projects such as Cheap Radio, Horizontal Radio, Rivers&Bridges, and Realtime , designed an innovative use of telecommunication technologies including the nascent Internet in conjunction with the broadcast and telephone networks. The artist Robert Adrian was one of the major inspirations for many artists in the field.
The arrival of the Internet obviously greatly expanded the possibilities for global interaction between artists who could now participate from their personal spaces and with minimal need for financial support. But at the same time this provoked national broadcasting corporations to step back and reduce their involvement in such experimental projects. Let’s think of the infrastructure, technologies and the great professionals working in radio stations. The role of the engineers and their inspiring relationship with the artists has always been crucially important in such projects. CONTINUUM wanted to link these practices from the past by bringing together both independent and broadcasting corporations in order to act in our present and investigate the possibilities of today’s technologies.

A reflection on the community approach of music research, waiving together different methodologies in the making of sound, from improvisation to structured compositions, passing through live set and A\V performance and any kind of other related attitudes.
Radio and technology have always been related each others, as long as the broad of a growing non-real and immaterial space as this media represents its arial forms.
Physical, social, human, collaborative – left free in the sonic flux’s ether, layered of real time samplings, transformations, overdubbing and stratifications.
‘Dialogue’ meant through a vast array of non-similar sound’s applications reaching and sharing a network, a platform for conceiving and creating a peaceful listening zone, dreams and oscillations.

THE CAVE is an artistic project active in the field of electronic and electroacoustic research music since 2021 and based in Rimini, Italy. The journey started during the pandemic time where selected artists’s pieces, coming from the Italian underground music scene, have been streaming live on Usmaradio which also collected them in its archive reachable at the link below. Then, after covid peaked, the project came back on site through different venues and across almost 30 performances in less than two years offering different layers of listening experience to the audience.

IOLANDA MI NANT DE NÒMINI (audio documentary, 31 minutes, written and directed by STUDIOLANDA, co-produced by Radio Papesse)
➤ LINK HEREto subtitled version (sardinian dialect / italian – english)
SYNOPSIS Orlanda Sassu, a Sardinian poet and ecologist (1924-2015), carried on a lifelong practice of audio recording to archive the memory of her country and language that she feared to lose. Her voice transcends time barriers and accompanies us to the pivotal places of her existence: the river, the village, the sea, the hut she built around a centuries-old juniper tree on the sand dunes at Pistis, together with her companion Efisio, himself a poet. Iolanda, thus known to the community, has entrusted the magnetic tapes she used to record on, with the power to make her travel through time, to the future, coming down to us as a living, present voice.
BIOGRAPHY Multidisciplinary duo STUDIOLANDA is based in Sardinia: Giorgia Cadeddu and Vittoria Soddu focus their projects on re-use practices with a specific interest in audiovisual, graphic and textual archives.Coming from design and the visual arts, Giorgia and Vittoria bring different technical skills into play: they imagine narrative forms that exceed the rigidity of recognisable categories, combining apparently distant practices of drawing, translation, self-construction and listening.
BROADCAST/FESTIVALS After the premiere held at Lucia Festival in December 2021, Iolanda mi nant de nòmini was broadcasted on Rai Radio 3 within the programme Zazà – meridione, cultura società in April 2022. It was selected to be included in the International Feature Conference held at BBC Wales in May 2022, at Prix Europa in the documentary competition and at Phonurgia Nova for the section “Archives de la parole”.

We are pleased to announce the new sound art project A Natural Contract by the Crown Quartet. The project is supported by the festival Resonances IV – NaturArchy: Towards a Natural Contract.
To know the world is to breathe, to breathe is to savour the world. An interspecies dialogue where you find yourself human, vegetable, animal and mineral, in the name of fusion. A world composed not of objects but of streams that penetrate us and that we penetrate, of waves of varying intensity and in perpetual movement. We can no longer perceive the world as a simple collection of objects or as a universal space containing all things, but as the site of a veritable metaphysical mixture. Towards a “multispecies storytelling” (Donna Haraway).
A Natural Contract is created for Resonances IV and it crosses borders through the simultaneity of music and language in a musical exchange between four different European countries. The four countries in the Alps-Adriatic-Region have been barely accessible due to the Corona pandemic. The idea of this live sound art concert at a distance is to invoke notions of memory, a discourse, a call to the most basic elements of humanity and society.
A Natural Contract is a new project for the Crown Quartet, conceived and directed by Usmaradio. In addition to the rich instrumentation of the quartet, A Natural Contract has a textual layer embedded in the compositional structure (which leaves room for spontaneous improvised exchange). As with field recordings in music, the linguistic elements are subjected to selection, processing, reproduction and abstraction of text fragments that acquire new significances in connection with the sounds and the music.The multilingualism of the text fragments reflects the diversity of the musical languages and approaches of the four musicians. Hungarian, Italian, various German accents, English and Croatian meet the abstract vocal sound art of Zabelka and Szemző. Thus vocal modes of expression are explored and contrasted in their diversity. There is a musical transformation of semantics, reflecting the absurdity that arises when you repeat a word for a long time, highlighting the transitions between language and sound, from noise to music. These processes in turn reflect the shifting meanings of terms such as borders and freedom in theCorona-shaped cultural-political landscape.
All four ensemble members have been working in the field of radio art for many years and have participated in diverse live stream project formats. So far, due to the technical challenges and complexity, these projects have always been implemented in cooperation with public institutions.
The radio as an artistic stage or platform is a unique performance and communication space. It is always a special moment to play live on the radio and to come into intimate contact with listeners in their own four walls. In times of physical distancing, the radio in connection with the internet offers a new enhanced platform for communicative exchange.
A Natural Contract is about overcoming borders through music and language. A Natural Contract overcomes boundaries that have closed at an astonishing speed due to Covid-19. The long-term social, economic, socio-political implications of the events of the last few months are not yet foreseeable – just as little as we know how the virus and its mutations will affect our futures. In this respect, A Natural Contract is also a memory, a discourse, a reflexion of the most fundamental elements of humanity and society.
The four artists have been connected via internet stream from their studios in Austria, Hungary, Italy and Croatia in an acoustic exchange consisting of music, language and sound. The piece revolves around questioning acoustic materials, their manipulation, meaning, application and aesthetics.
within Resonances IV – “NaturArchy: Towards a Natural Contract “ A Natural Contract is produced by Resonances IV in collaboration with Usmaradio and Giardini Pensili.
In 2020 Usmaradio created the series Crown – fighting the lockdown through radio. An international tea time live concerts radio series. 33 daily collaborative telematic performances with the remote participation of artists from all over the world. CROWN PODCAST CHANNEL IS AVAILABLE HERE Later on, this experience contributed to the creation of the Crown Quartet project.
Crown Quartet ➥ Zahra Mani (UK, PK, resident in Austria) is a musician, composer and curator. She performs live in various constellations and creates multi-channel installations and radio art. Her work combines field recordings, instruments and voices in an ongoing exploration of sound and music, investigating and revealing the spaces between. ➥ Roberto Paci Dalò is an Italian clarinetist, composer, visual and sound artist. He performs worldwide in the usual and most unusual places. ➥ Tibor Szemző Composer, performer, media artist, lives in Hungary. Oriented by his diverse lines of interest towards the borderline areas of the various genres. His works are present across Europe and beyond. ➥ Austrian violinist, vocalist, improviser and composer Mia Zabelka is at the forefront of international electro-acoustic performance art. She developed a unique musical language she calls “automatic playing”, where the music grows out of her body and gestures and finds its expression in her acoustic/electric violin, electronic devices, alien objects and voice. The violin itself becomes a sound machine.

KIN by Usmaradio / Roberto Paci Dalò is a radio and performative project with workshop sessions of The School of Radio guided by talented and professional radio-makers. The italian town of Santarcangelo di Romagna is “occupied” with the broadcasting of a schedule composed of materials related to Santarcangelo Festival (the 51 years old festival devoted to experimental performing arts), citizens’s voices and original materials created by the working group. All spread in public and private spaces with listening spots, improvisations, electronics, remote collaborative radio activities.
“The undifferentiated mass is expressed with a single voice, with slogans repeated in unison, so that the individualities blend vocally. Plurality, on the other hand, is expressed in a plurisonic way, producing not a single voice and not even a cacophony, but what I call a pluriphony, where each singular voice retains its uniqueness and reverberates with each other. ” (Adriana Cavarero). Texts and guiding voices are those of John Cage and Donna Haraway.
