Katatonic Silentio

Sound artist and independent researcher in Sonic Arts and Media Cultures, Mariachiara Troianiello (aka Katatonic Silentio), has been exploring the fields of experimental and electronic music with a unique approach to sound design, releasing music and performing in many national and international festivals, theaters and venues across Europe.

The artist is also a member of the scientific board of Usmaradio: Interdepartmental Research Centre for Radiophonic Studies, UNIRSM, curator of Expanded Radio Research Unit: an independent radio art platform for innovative works at the intersection of music, spoken word, performance and sound to challenge the limits of broadcasting; resident artist on EOS Radio.

In addition to pursuing a multiple career in sound creation, Mariachiara is also active as an independent researcher: her practice converges halfway between sound and performance arts. Her keen curiosity for cultural studies, combined with a strong passion for music, led her to approach the world of sounds with a sociological and anthropological eye, viewing it as a critical device and indicator of society and its changes.
