Riccardo La Foresta is a percussionist and sound artist from Modena, Italy, whose research of the last few years wants to question the role of the drum as a percussive instrument. Resonances and vibrations generated by treating the drum as an aerophone create acoustic drones, ancestral melodies and complex beats that drastically distance the instrument from traditional drumming. The ongoing process of his research is focused on the development of a system called Drummophone.
