Katatonic Silentio

Sound artist, live performer and curator of Expanded Radio Research Unit, Mariachiara, aka Katatonic Silentio, explores the field of experimental and electronic music with a unique approach to sound design, has released music on numerous national and international labels, and performed at events and festivals all over Europe.
Alongside pursuing a career in music, Mariachiara is also active as an independent researcher: her practice converges halfway between sonic and performative art. Her curiosity for cultural studies, combined with her strong passion for music, has allowed her to approach the realm of sound with a sociological and anthropological take, viewing sound itself as a critical device, an indicator of society and its changes.

Jacopo Mazzonelli

Mazzonelli creates sculptures, assemblages, and installations that penetrate into the vast borderlands between visual arts and music. His artistic research embraces techniques and methodologies borrowed from a host of different disciplines. Exploring the interpretation and visualization of the dimension of sound, the artist engages with instruments that he deconstructs, transforms, and recomposes. His focus centers on the “musical gesture”, the examination of the perception of rhythm and the flow of temporal change. He has held solo
shows in Italy and abroad. In 2017 MART – Galleria Civica di Trento dedicated to him the comprehensive solo exhibition To be played at maximum volume. In collaboration with composer Matteo Franceschini, since 2017 he has conceived of a series of performance projects of which, alongside pianist Eleonora Wegher, he is also an active interpreter.
