about

Riccardo La Foresta is a percussionist and sound artist from Modena IT whose research of the last years wants to question the role of the drum as a percussive instrument.
Resonances and vibrations generated treating the drum as an aerophone, create acoustic drones, ancestral melodies and complex beats that drastically distance the instrument from traditional drumming.

The instrument is called Drummophone.

This is a collection of works that aim to connect with old and forgotten sounds from nowhere in particular, towards a new approach to tradition's memories. It is composed exploring the melodic and harmonic possibilities of a 12" frame drum.

The photo in the cover was taken by R. La Foresta in Tskaltubo, the important spa-resort in Georgia during the Soviet times, walking in between abandoned sanatorium complexes.
