Enrico Malatesta is an Italian percussionist and sound researcher active in the fields of experimental music, sound intervention and performance.
His practice explores the relations between sound, space and body, the vitality of materials and the morphology of surfaces with particular attention to percussive acts, touch based-perception, and modes of listening. Since 2007 Malatesta has presented his work with tours across Europe, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, UK, North America and Russia, and has performed in festivals and special events in venues such as Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, Berghain in Berlin, and MAM in Rio de Janeiro.
