Enrico Malatesta

Bestiario is a series of short Enrico Malatesta compositions for acoustic percussions, recorded live with no overdubs or editing; these pieces are meant to explore a multi-directional sonic dimension, still keeping a high level of tension. All the studies in the series feature extremely dense micro-structures, broken rhythms and fast tempi. The third and last volume of the series is composed by two pieces for cymbal, frame drum, bow and the crackling effects between the cymbal's edge and the skin.
