Fluid across a wide spectrum of genres, Valentina Magaletti seems to exist in multiple musical worlds at once. As prolific as she is inventive, the composer, producer and percussionist extraordinaire has announced her first LP of 2026. Entitled Seismo, it saw her team up with Amsterdam-based producer upsammy for an album that redraws the line between acoustic percussion and digital sound. The project began with a commission from the Rijksmuseum, where the duo captured improvised percussive material inside the building’s shifting acoustics. Those recordings became the backbone of a set of electroacoustic pieces shaped by space, air and resonance, which were pushed further as the collaboration evolved on stage. As the press release puts it, it’s “a shiver of mischievous vocal snippets, disorienting rhythms and collapsing sonic architectures.” Across eight tracks, motion is constant, with mallet instruments, both digital and acoustic, forming the core language. Magaletti had this to say about it:

“With upsammy I explored the space between acoustic percussion and digital sound. The equation between presence and absence. Seismo dissolves roles, letting mallets and glitches meet in a shared, unstable, queer landscape.”

We’ll have to wait until April 10th for Seismo to be out through PAN but we can already hear the brilliant and earthshattering ‘Superimposed’. Take a listen below.
