direzione Cesare Ronconi
parole Mariangela Gualtieri / Chandra Livia Candiani
movimento Lucia Palladino
suono Enrico Malatesta

“L’universo non ha un centro,
ma per abbracciarsi si fa così: 
ci si avvicina lentamente 
eppure senza motivo apparente, 
poi allargando le braccia,
si mostra il disarmo delle ali, 
e infine si svanisce,
insieme, 
nello spazio di carità
tra te 
e l’altro”.

Chandra Livia Candiani da La bambina pugile ovvero La precisione dell’amore (Giulio Einaudi Editore, 2014)

Tamburo di Terra at Postaja Topolove Festival

Tamburo di Terra is a workshop aimed to investigate the relations between performer, movement, space and gesture producing sounds on extended-idiophones; a series of self-designed, temporary tools in which the action of the performer can create the tool itself and define an aural experience that integrates the surroundings.

As a starting point, simple techniques and gestural directions will be developed using divisions of the idiophones according to the well known Hornbostel-Sachs classification.

Tamburo di Terra is going to be presented on july 10-13 for the first time in Italy, at Postaja Topolove Festival, Topolò di Grimacco and, after four days of workshops, I will play a solo set using skins and objects, presenting my latest research on these instruments.

Luciano Maggiore & Enrico Malatesta
Talabalàcco

New Release published by Consumer Waste

Talabalàcco is the first collaboration by Luciano Maggiore and Enrico Malatesta. The pair have deliberately eschewed the process of duo improvisation, recording material independently and composing with these fragments, resulting in a refined and purposeful combination of electronic and acoustic textures. The composition unfolds episodically, appearing to deny musical structure, but maintaining an incisive impact as its chapters accumulate.

Glück at Festival Batteries IV Genève (CH) 2013

Glück in Berlin

Das Percussion-Quintett Glück präsentiert nach einer dreitätigen Aufnahme- und Probenphase im auslandneue Kompositionen.

Burkhard Beins, Enrico Malatesta, Michael Vorfeld, Christian Wolfahrt, Ingar Zach 

After a 3-day recording and rehearsal period at ausland, the percussion-quintet Glück presents new compositions.

Geöffnet 20:30 Uhr | Beginn 21:00 Uhr

Das internationale Quintett Glück vereint Schlagzeuger unterschiedlicher Couleur und individuell geprägter Spielweisen, die sich solistisch und mit verschiedensten Formationen international einen Namen gemacht haben. Gemeinsam ist allen ein extrem klangorientiertes, feingliedriges und transparentes Spiel auf eigenwilligen Perkussions-Sets. Aus diversen, zum Teil langjährigen Projekten (Vorwolf, Malatesta/Wolfarth, Misiiki), entstand der gemeinsame Wunsch, die daraus resultierenden musikalischen Erfahrungen in einen grösseren Kontext zu stellen. Dabei entwickelt das Quintett mit kompositorischen und improvisatorischen Mitteln neue Spielformen zeitgenössischer Perkussionsmusik und eine unverwechselbare und eigenständige Sprache, bzw. Ästhetik.

***
The international quintet Glück combines percussionists of diverse stripes and their individual pronounced ways of playing. The five musicians are internationally renowned as soloists and with various musical outfits. An extremely sound orientated, fragile and transparent approach to their indiosyncratic percussion sets is what they all have in common. From diverse conjoint long-term projects (Vorwolf, Malatesta/Wolfarth, Misiiki) arose the shared wish to put the musical experiences made within these collaborations into a wider context. By means of compositional and improvisational methods the quintet creates new forms of contemporary percussion music, their own discreet language and a distinctive group aesthetic.
