Enrico Malatesta

First vinyl effort for this italian percussionist and first wax for second sleep too.
Living in Ravenna, Malatesta studies percussions at Conservatory in Bologna. Although his pitch is strictly academic, what always impressed me was his extreme physicality and punk attitude he has in everything. He collaborated with Christian Wolfarth, Lorenzo Senni, Seijiro Murayama.
What Enrico offer here are two side of fast and dynamic structured pieces, decise hissing sounds collide with  more delicated touches, all played with an great amount of attention and dedication. A sacred aura is given to these tracks because of the place where they were recorded, the wonderful Teatro Valdoca in cesena, mastered by Stefano Pilia.
