RDM Records Multi-Disciplinary Footprint: Lorenzo Marranini on VoyageMIA Previews 'Echoes of Usher' Master & 2026–2027 Expansion

Miami publication VoyageMIA has published an in-depth feature on RDM Records co-founder and director Lorenzo Marranini, detailing the label's evolution from its 2010 foundational trademark in Milan to its current transatlantic operations in South Florida.

The profile outlines RDM Records' strict commitment to total aesthetic and technical autonomy, positioning the entity not merely as a music label, but as a multi-disciplinary research hub, physical media curation house, and speculative publishing platform.

The Expanding Universe of Absence

The VoyageMIA feature highlights the ongoing global rollout of Sheen’s Absence. Officially released on May 22, 2026, in both high-fidelity digital formats and a museum-grade 2026 Official Label Edition CD featuring a custom 12-page philosophical artwork booklet, the record reclaims RDM Records' original 2015 Milanese research sessions.

As the next visual phase of the Absence release cycle, studio bandwidth is currently focused on post-production for the official "Absence III" cinematic music video. Designed as a visual counterpoint mapping the track’s industrial electronic landscape, the video will premiere on YouTube as the next phase of the album's rollout.

"We collectively create on this side of ordinary culture... operating under the firm belief that independent human production and the final meaning of being exist on the same level." — Lorenzo Marranini

"Art and research are one essential energy toward the authenticity of existence. From the intellectual rigor of Milan to the soul of Miami, RDM Records operates as a unified reality where philosophy meets the stage. We explore Absence—not as a void, but as an implosion: the resonant threshold where the meaning of being reclaims its core foundations. Through the manipulation of sound masses, the deep wear and tear of the world is nothing but the integrity of the original vibration."

Absence Official Label Edition marks the debut entry in the Official Label Edition series.

Mastering Milestone: The Echoes of Usher

A major focus of RDM Records' current studio operations is the finalization of studio mastering and archival documentation for The Echoes of Usher.

Serving as the definitive document of a live, improvised sonorization for Jean Epstein’s 1928 silent masterpiece La Chute de la Maison Usher, the project was recorded at the Milan Conservatory under the direction of master Riccardo Sinigaglia. As mastering nears completion, this master stands as RDM Records' most significant upcoming institutional release—setting up the label’s first major entry into specialized global audiophile distribution across digital, physical CD, and 180g heavyweight collector's vinyl.

The 2026–2027 Multidisciplinary Horizon

Looking ahead, RDM Records is expanding into structural narrative and sound design across the 2026–2027 Official Label Edition series:

• The Kobe Empire: The White City (2026–2027): A dark sci-fi graphic novel written by Lorenzo Marranini with visual narrative by artist Glenn Hamilton, distributed in premium hardcover and digital formats.

• Thorn Apart (2026–2027): The debut studio document investigating the creative friction between heavy alternative metal weight and engineered synthetic atmospheres.

• Arts & Technologies Journal Relaunch: Reviving RDM Records' 2011 editorial manifesto to publish theoretical cognitive research and investigate the electroacoustic nature of technological art forms.
