Celebrating 100 years of radio in Italy, the University of San Marino's broadcaster will propose a festival of sound experimentation

From November 6th Usmaradio will offer masterclasses, concerts and more: the opening will be entrusted to the Berliner Robert Lippok

New programs, performances and partnerships of national scope to celebrate a century of broadcasts. Usmaradio, broadcaster of the University of the Republic of San Marino, has celebrated the one hundred years of radio in Italy, gaining momentum that will culminate in a festival, divided into three events, thanks to which ten artists engaged in sound experimentation with acoustic instruments, voice and electronics will perform on the Titan.

After the first episode of an unprecedented series of insights into the contemporary and underground scene, the broadcast of the world preview of a project on electromagnetic frequencies and a concert offered in Rimini as part of the event “Le parole di ASC”, dedicated to themes such as peace and active citizenship, the broadcaster is preparing for the first edition of “BIOMA Festival musiche radicali”, starting at 17 pm on Wednesday 6 November with the German Robert Lippok, one of the six artists involved in the German National Pavilion at the 2024 Art Biennale underway in Venice, also involved in projects that have seen him collaborate with the protagonists of realities such as the Serpentine Gallery in London and the Akademie der Kunste in Berlin.

Recognized audiovisual live performer, he will take the stage for a masterclass in which he will talk about his methodology of working between sound and image. A concert will follow. Both events will take place in the great hall of the university headquarters of the Ancient Monastery of Santa Chiara, in contrada Omerelli 20, in the historic center of the Titano.

"With this new festival - explains Roberto Paci Dalò, director of Usmaradio - we intend to bring international artists to San Marino so that through music and sound they can meet and weave relationships with varied audiences, starting with the students of the University. For our broadcaster - he continues - the time has come to further explore some lines of research that aim to bring unorthodox music and sounds into the daily lives of all people. A small and continuous action to scratch the hegemony of the musical obviousness that surrounds us, hoping for discoveries, amazement and encounters".

The opening event will be followed by two other events. Thursday, November 21st will feature double bass player Giacomo Piermatti, as well as composers and electronic maestros Paolo Bragaglia and Francesco Poggianti. Wednesday, December 4th will be the turn of musicians such as Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo, saxophonist and clarinetist Giulia Barba and the members of the Sidera Saxophone Quartet.
