Katatonic Silentio, "Everything And Nothing", 08 min 42 sec, Milan, 2024

Katatonic Silentio gently oscillates between everything and nothing, fullness and emptiness, the duality generated by opposites, just as every vibration creates every sound and form of life. David George Haskell's "Sounds Wild and Broken" highlights vibrations as foundational to life’s origin and evolution. Early life relied on these oscillations for survival and communication, shaping the intricate web of existence. The current mass extinction is disrupting this primordial symphony, silencing natural sounds vibrations, which are vital to ecosystems. The extinction process erases unique auditory signatures, weakening ecological connections. This underscores the urgent need for conservation to preserve the essence that underpins all life. Creator sound accompanies us from the source to the end, a resonant essence standing into the void.

Milan-based sound artist Mariachiara Troianiello, known as Katatonic Silentio, merges electronic music, performing arts, and sound studies. With over 15 years as a DJ, her sets oscillate between analogue nostalgia and a futuristic pace, ranging from abstract soundscapes to club-oriented beats. She explores sonic realms from artistic and sociological angles, serving on the Scientific Advisory Board of USMARADIO. Mariachiara‘s projects span radio research, residencies on EOS and LYL, and collaborations with Anonima/Luci and choreographer Olimpia Fortuni in ‘X’, blending sound, movement, and space.
