Valentina Magaletti is a drummer, composer and multi-instrumentalist whose versatile technique, which can incorporate anything from vibes and marimba to contact microphones and found objects, results in a style that is forever evolving. Feeling just as comfortable performing behind a delicate ceramic kit as she does hammering out motorik rhythms, her creative take on percussion has resulted in a diverse discography and many interesting collaborations. With Tom Relleen, she was one half of the acclaimed electronic duo Tomaga; with Al Wootton, she creates irresistible claustrophobic dub as Holy Tongue; with Pino Montecalvo, under the Avvitagalli alias, Magaletti improvises intricate sonic collages; as CZN, she constructs hallucinatory rhythmic worlds alongside percussionist João Pais Filipe. In Vanishing Twin, her trio with Cathy Lucas and Susumu Mukai aka Zongamin, she explores the spaces bridging jazz and psychedelia. Magaletti has also played with artists such as Sally Potter, Cate le Bon, Floating Points, Jandek, Pat Thomas, Deb Googe, Malcolm Mooney, Thurston Moore, Steve Beresford, Kamasi Washington, and members of Radiohead, to name a few.
