Valentina Magaletti is a drummer-composer and multi-instrumentalist with an inventive approach to drums and percussion. Her 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.

As a drummer, Magaletti moves effortlessly between the seemingly disparate worlds of alternative and mainstream music. She has played with artists such as Pat Thomas, Deb Googe, Thurston Moore, Lafawndah, Nist-Nah Ensemble, Charles Hayward, Mica Levi, Kamasi Washington, and Nicolas Jaar to name a few.

Magaletti’s compositional credits are just as elaborate: with Tom Relleen, she was one half of Tomaga, the critically acclaimed electronic duo; with Al Wootton, she creates irresistible claustrophobic dub as Holy Tongue; with Pino Montecalvo, under the Avvitagalli alias, Valentina improvises intricate sonic collages; alongside percussionist João Pais Filipe, as CZN, she constructs hallucinatory rhythmic worlds, which are as fragile as they are eternal.

Perhaps her most accessible project is Vanishing Twin, the trio with Cathy Lucas and Susumu Mukai aka Zongamin, that explores the spaces bridging jazz and psychedelia. Following the impulse to explore uncharted territories, Magaletti teamed up with production duo Raime. Christening the project Moin, the trio created Moot! for Nic Tasker’s AD 93 label in 2021.

Valentina has performed or composed music released on labels including Editions Mego, Trilogy Tapes, Offen,Takuroku, Marionette,Hands in the Dark, Blank Editions, Confront,Latency, Horn of Plenty, Meakusma, Emotional Response, Other People, Soundway, Fire Records and many more.

an evening of iranian electronic music: 9t antiope + rojin sharafi

9T Antiope, derived from 90 Antiope double-asteroid in the Solar System between Mars and Jupiter, is a duo of Paris based-Iranian musicians Nima Aghiani and Sara Bigdeli Shamloo. Focussed on experimental music using layers of acoustic instruments, electronics and combining them with vocals and lyrics, in order to narrate tiny bits or huge landscapes of the chaotic worlds they envision. Their music expresses bleak feelings, inspired by the unrelentingly “brutal, unjust and angry” state of the world, and often takes unpredictable turns around sharp corners into darker, noisier passages.

They have released music on reputed labels such as PTP (Purple Tape Pedigree), Eilean Rec., Hallow Ground, Flaming Pines, Unperceived Records and an upcoming project on American Dreams
"Whatever it might mean, it is absolutely gripping, immersive and surrealistic, cinema without sight." Philip Sherborne – Pitchfork

Rojin Sharafi is Vienna-based, Tehran-born artist that draws on cinematic and literary influences in her acoustic, electro-acoustic, and electronic music. She creates entirely unique musical textures through the use of analogue, and augmented instruments and sometimes acoustic instruments like the santur and piano. Her songs blend noise, folk, ambient, metal, and contemporary music with layers of narrative to produced “engineered chaos”. Sounds stretch and reverberate as her songs fiddle with temporal and structural restrictions.

Sharafi has been part of the line-up at international festivals such as SET x CTM 2018 (Tehran), Unsafe + Sounds 2018 (Vienna), Hyperreality 2019 (Vienna), Wiener Festwochen 2020 (Vienna) and released on labels such as Zabte Sote and Ventil records

arashi: akira sakata - paal nilssen-love - johan berthling

about ten years ago, a special pact was forged between three prominent figures of free jazz and improvisation resul- ting in arashi. when the famous japanese saxophonist akira sakata encountered the swedish bass player johan berth- ling (fire!) and the norwegian drummer paal nilssen-love (the thing), he found the ideal accomplices for what can now be called one of the most dynamic and energetic trio formations of today.

the extraordinary stamina of the three musicians and the will to push themselves and the music beyond traditional boundries, made their first performance at the molde jazz festival in 2013 a huge success. they translated that a few days later to the studio, where they recorded a modern classic with the album ‘arashi-storm’ (trost records). two years later, the trio released a follow up record, ‘semikujira’, which was also used as a soundtrack. their most recent cd ‘jikan’ was recently released on pnl records. after succesful tours in europa and japan and a series of cancella- tions due to the pandemic, arashi finally embarks on a higly anticipated new series of european concerts.

amalie dahl - henrik sandstad dalen - jomar jeppsson søvik

dahl/dalen/søvik is an improvising trio based in oslo. with backgrounds in free jazz, noise and avantgarde they play music in the tradition of modern free improvisation, inspired by anthony braxton, mette rasmussen, ingebrigt håker flaten etc.

the trio consists of the danish, in norway residing, amalie dahl (dafnie, trondheim jazz orchestra) on alto saxopho- ne, and the norwegian rhythm section of henrik sandstad dalen (passe planta, sex magick wizards) on double bass, and jomar jeppsson søvik (actual music) on drums. all three of them are part of the improvised music scene in oslo. their debut album ‘fairytales for daydreamers’ will be out in march on nice things records. on this live recording from their first performance together, the listener gets to experience the trio’s immediate chemistry through a lively and adventurous 45 minute set. they move confidently through polite introductions, interrogations, deep conversations and heated arguments before at last they reach tender reconciliation, as if they were old friends playing together.
