Enrico Malatesta (*1985 ,Cesena - Italy) is a percussionist active in the field of contemporary, electro-acoustic and improvised music.
He studied classical percussions instruments at the “Bruno Maderna” Conservatory in Cesena, delving into both the orchestral and soloist repertoire and his personal activity and research is aimed at the redefinition of the role of the percussionist in different contemporary areas, studying the acoustic dimension and the material quality of percussion instruments.

Besides his ongoing solo projects he’s also active performing works from the soloist repertoire of the 20th Century, including graphic scores by J.Cage, M.Feldman,K. Stockhausen,E. Brown.

His work is released by the Italian label Presto!? Records, second sleep, Senufo editions.
In 2007 he started working for Teatro Valdoca, a theatre company where under the direction of Cesare Ronconi, he had the chance to work with Mariangela Gualtieri, Raffaella Giordano and Danio Manfredini.
He frequently works with dancers and the visual artist Riccardo Baruzzi.
