Valentina Magaletti is a drummer, composer and percussionist who strategically tries to enrich the folkloristic and conventional palette of her endless listening, experimenting with new materials and sounds.

A Queer Anthology of Drums – “a percussive collage of low-fi frequencies documenting a journey that never took place” (Takuroku), a home recording capturing Valentina’s ritualistic free-improv essence, is now being presented to audiences across the world by bié Records, via vinyl for the first time.

A Queer Anthology of Drums was originally released on Cafe Oto’s label Takuroku. The new version by the Beijing-based bié Records, whose associate acts range across Hualun, Yu Su, Lim Giong, Gong Gong Gong and many more, is specifically remastered for vinyl format and expanded to 9 tracks with the previously unreleased “She/Her/Gone”.
