Radioforme - personaggi, suoni e altre finzioni.Continuando a parlare con Google HomeCi sono molti modi per interagire con l'intelligenza artificiale di un assistente vocale. Io ho scelto quello più infantile: cercare di farlo arrabbiare. Questo è l'esperimento audio che ho creato per Radioforme, il programma che presentavo su Radio Antidoto. Cos'è Radio Antidoto?È il racconto delle persone in isolamento forzato in Europa per affrontare insieme l'isolamento forzato durante il COVID. Una radio web a struttura orizzontale. Io andavo in onda (quasi tutti i giorni) dalle 19 alle 20 e facevo cose così. radio.dyne.org/trasformatorio.mp3[31/03/2020]2025-05-2205 min
Radioforme - personaggi, suoni e altre finzioni.Una giornata col gatto MazingaChi l'ha detto che i gatti trascorrono la giornata in ozio? Ispirata dal geniale lavoro di Pejk Malinovski, che a Varanasi ha seguito una mucca per un'intera giornata, io, chiusa in casda durante il COVID, ho provato a documentare un'intera giornata del mio gatto Mazinga, e me ho fatto un audiodocumentario per Radioforme, il programma che presentavo su Radio Antidoto.

Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioPast tense [for Audio Flux 05]A story of childhood wonder, loss, and the consequences of chasing what we don’t fully understand, a cautionary tale about the stories we inherit, the memories we cling to, and the dangers of tampering with time-real or imagined.

Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioGigi Riva and IThis is a story about Gigi Riva, the legendary Italian soccer player who "led the modest team of Cagliari to win the Serie A championship in the 1969-70 season." While it portrays Riva as more than a player—a demigod whose name is whispered with reverence and his deeds immortalised—it’s ultimately a tale of childhood, wonder, memories, and a touch of mischievous revenge. Without giving too much away (there is a twist!), this 12-minute story will surprise and enchant, offering an unexpected journey through hero worship, nostalgia, and the magic of storytelling.2025-04-1812 min
Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioA step by step guide to wooden spoon carvingMore of a borderline stream-of-consciousness than a tutorial. Despite beginning with a promising premise—teaching the listener how to carve a wooden spoon—the guide quickly veers off into obscure, yet weirdly specific, tangents that overshadow any practical advice. Listeners end up with some very useful advice, just not necessarily on carving wooden spoons.
The ultimate guide that is certain to leave you frustrated if wooden spoon carving is what you're after!
If you're looking for a practical tutorial, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a strangely compelling, albeit unhelpful, listening experience, then this might be for you.

Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioYou've got to be kidding me! [Sonic Dash 2025 finalist]A comedic game show called You've Got to Be Kidding Me tests contestants' knowledge of a dystopian society's new constitution and the decrees of their Glorious Supreme President.
When I created this for the Silver Sound Biannual Sonic Dash competition in January 2025, it sounded like something fun and out of this world.
By May 2025, in the US, they are talking about having people compete for a green card by taking part in a quiz show. Yes, it is depressing. And no, if someone had asked me, I would have chosen a different audio creation to be transformed into reality.

Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioI am the first [Audio Flux 04 finalist]This piece was one of the 15 finalists in Audio Flux Circuit 04. The prompt asked for a three-minute piece that referenced an object related to a first and included the sound of time passing (but not a clock).
I decided to tell about the day I did something that no one in my family had ever done before me. I'd rather not tell you what so as not to spoil the narration. Featuring: strong sense of atmosphere, moods shift, and anticipation and a study on class, family, and the weight of expectation.

Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioSound(s) Matter(s) [for Cities and Memory]This piece is a reflection on the concept of space as sound. Space understood not as a visual concept, but as an auditory one, as the connective tissue between all of the objects in the world, carried to the perimeter and to the center. A voluminous environment that emerges from an exquisite global polyphony. This piece was inspired by Mathias Hinke's lesson 'Demonstrations and fun cultures' which explores the role of sound in specific non-musical social settings and practices.

Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioGigi Riva, Ciao CampioneCi sono delle interviste difficili da fare, non tanto per il tema trattato ma perché la commozione è fortissima, e quando l'intervistat* non riesce ad andare avanti per le lacrime, chi intervista non può lasciarsi travolgere dalle emozioni. Ma è difficile. Eppure è stato bellissimo far parte di quella folla immensa e composta che ha salutato Gigi Riva. In queste voci tutto l'amore e l'ammirazione di una città. Grande campione!2024-01-2508 min
Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioEvery Library In My Life (welcome to my circus)A swirl of sounds and sensations, listening to this piece is like entering a circus. Still, instead of clowns and illusionists, you'll find: libraries, librarians mistreating innocent children, thunders, revenge, dark nights, betrayal, tax fraud (just a little bit), more thunders, Berlin in the '80s, translations, revenge, triumph, cautionary tales.

Moments shaped in the form of something to say on radioSardinia, which is like nowhereA tale of cultural neo-colonialism. This podcast is inspired by my personal experience, as someone who grew up in Sardinia surrounded by stories and boasts about the journey of the famous English writer D.H. Lawrence, and his wife Frida through Sardinia.
Lawrence visited Sardinia in 1921, after becoming bored with rainy Sicily. He spent just over a week there, during which time he wrote a book in which he described the island and its people. I find Lawrence's portrayal of Sardinia and its inhabitants myopic and insensitive, as he was unable and unwilling to understand or engage with anything that...2022-12-0209 min

[WITH ENG SUBS] La magia del rally inizia molto prima della partenza: il rito della vestizione, l'adrenalina dei cinque secondi prima del 'Via!' - terribili e bellissimi. Gianfranco Bitti, appassionato rallysta, ci fa rivivere quello che si prova in un racconto ricco di suoni e di sensazioni.

When I think about the dark, I think about a game that I used to play as a kid. I am here, in a house that is not mine. I’m here with my friend, I’ll call him Mario (I’ll tell you later why). I’m 11, he is one year younger than me.

Imagine being unable to speak your native language, and that your choice is between using whatever language you were taught as a kid or to use English, if you want to be heard. Welcome to my world! Fluent in three languages but unable to communicate with my illiterate grandmother, who only spoke Sardinian, I found myself mourning the loss of culture and familial connection this bizarre situation brought.
