    The Music Folder #27 | Matthew Herbert

    In this new episode of The Music Folder, we talk to composer, producer, and electronic music pioneer Matthew Herbert, in conversation with curator and cultural producer Carlo Antonelli. The conversation explores the role of the musician within a productive landscape shaped by unchecked capitalism, the glorification of individuality, and the loss of collective and environmentally sustainable perspectives. Herbert reflects on his relationship with sound, the evolving idea of the “musical instrument,” and the place of analog technologies in the digital era. Across the episode, he also retraces the social history and evolution of dance, techno, and house music from the unique perspective of someone who has lived through — and actively shaped — these cultures from within. Interview by Carlo Antonelli, 27/1/2026 The Music Folder is a talk series curated by Archivio Storico Ricordi, investigating the intersection of music, memory, and arts, in collaboration with VOCE Triennale and Unione Buddhista Italiana for this episode.

    The Music Folder #25 | Daniel Blumberg

    For the 25th episode of The Music Folder, we had the pleasure of speaking with Academy Award–winning composer and multidisciplinary artist Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist), in conversation with NTS Radio host and musicologist Francesco Fusaro. The conversation traces how Blumberg’s recent film scores — from The Testament of Ann Lee, inspired by Shaker song recordings and books, to Gianfranco Rosi’s Below the Clouds — emerge from a network of archives, both visible and hidden: devotional melodies and nigunim, personal notebooks and sketchbooks, improvised sessions, live venues, quarries, and even the body as a living archive shaped by place. Across the conversation, he reflects on how these layers of memory inform a musical and visual practice that approaches each project as an opportunity for continual exploration and reinvention.

    The Music Folder #22 Valentina Magaletti

    In this new episode of The Music Folder, we meet Valentina Magaletti — drummer, percussionist, composer — in a conversation with author Virginia W. Ricci. The episode explores the physicality of drumming, its primal connection to the body, and its ancestral closeness to dance. Through her latest solo album A Queer Anthology of Drums, Magaletti opens a space for reimagining percussion beyond binary narratives, challenging the persistent association of drums with masculinity and affirming the instrument as a field of radical expression. We also delve into her many collaborative worlds, from the angular textures of Moin to cross-genre improvisations. Interview by Virginia W.
