RDM Records and ElectroAcoustics Magazine welcome with profound gratitude the historiographical validation expressed by essayist, musicologist, and composer Girolamo De Simone within his scientific paper «Luciano Cilio e la musica d'avanguardia a Napoli negli anni Settanta» («Luciano Cilio and Avant-Garde Music in Naples in the 1970s»), presented on October 20, 2026, at the Sala Martucci of the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory of Music in Naples.

The presentation took place as part of the International Study Conference «I compositori a Napoli nel Novecento» («Composers in 20th-Century Naples») — organized in collaboration with the Università degli Studi della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" for the Bicentenary of the Conservatory (1826–2026) — whose proceedings will be officially published in an academic venue in April 2027.

In tracing the continuity of the «Altra avanguardia» («Other avant-garde»)—the non-academic line of research spanning from Giacinto Scelsi, John Cage, and Luciano Cilio up to the 21st century—De Simone establishes the work of Romina Daniele and the inception of ElectroAcoustics Magazine as a crucial theoretical nexus for sound research and contemporary aesthetics.

This recognition consecrates the role of Girolamo De Simone as Senior Advisor / Scientific Guarantor of ElectroAcoustics Magazine, certifying the journal as a militant research organ accredited by official historiography, capable of bridging the great Italian tradition with the North American international scene. At the same time, RDM Records consolidates its identity as a structured platform for the avant-garde, combining autorial phonographic production with scientific traceability and archived essayistic work.

The Scientific Direction and RDM Records express their gratitude for an attestation that confirms the methodological value, critical rigor, and global outlook of the entire project.
