Enrico Malatesta

Enrico Malatesta is an Italian percussionist and sound artist, born in Cesena in 1985. He studied classical percussion at the Bruno Maderna Conservatory in Cesena and works across contemporary, electroacoustic and improvised music. His practice deals with the relation between sound, space and body and with the material qualities of percussion instruments and surfaces, with close attention to listening. Malatesta's solo record Benandare, for skin instruments and metal objects, was recorded in 2013 and issued by Weighter Recordings.
