Malatesta/Wolfarth
Enrico Malatesta - percussion
Christian Wolfarth - cymbals
The duo featuring Enrico Malatesta and Christian Wolfarth is active since spring 2009 and works in the field of contemporary improvised music. Keeping the aleatoric process as a point of departure to create and think of music, the duo works in a specific instrumental area where simplicity and composure are foundations from which to expand the possibilities of percussion instruments in instant compositions full of identity and character. Strictly acoustic, this project wants to deepen the use of percussions as multiple sound sources; the resonances, the ghost sounds and the extreme care for gesture and detail represent the fulcrum of a sonic action which does not miss the physical element of percussion instruments, but rather uses a refined dynamic, where the condition of silence plays a leading role.
