HI! I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT YOU FIND ME.
MY NAME IS PUPPI AND I MAKE MUSIC.
MOST OF THE TIME WITH MY CELLO.
In this page you can find some of my actual works and a map that can show you some of my future ideas.
To me, having the privilege to make music means be influenced and influence what happens around me.
I feel like a filter, a sponge. An alembic distilling ideas in drops of music.
