Federico Puppi: acoustic & electric cello, loops, effects, live electronics
My personal project: lonely like a dog, it's only my intruments and me. The wood meets electricity, a little bit of electronics, sampling &re-sampling myself in a orchestral circus around me. SALUBA NANÃ!,
If you leave me alone, you have to pay the consequences...
Free improvisation at the 10th anniversary of Cittadellarte (November 2008 - Biella, Italy)
It' s our Personal Project. This duo is based on acoustic sonority of the DBass and Cello, but we love the experimentation of new sounds, of effects. The structure of the pieces it' s innovative and particular. You can listen some pieces on this space and on:
"Solo come un cane", Federico's new project, debut at Music Village 2008 (December - Montecampione, Italy)

XMusa Duo (The Tenth Muse Duo) is a project born in 2006, from the encounter of cellist Federico Puppi and double-bass player Luca Bertinaria. Both musicians have a classical background, and they share the need of transcending the boarders trough a re-definition and a exchange of roles of their own instruments, presenting the cello and the double-bass in unconventional musical environments. The instruments are sometimes sculpted in their own acoustic nudity, sometimes raped by the use of electronic technology, where the singular direction of the classical music is twisted and works in favor of a versatile use of the electro-acoustic resources, full of experimentation, free-jazz and rock.
Watch the video "Tarantola" (Live at Lanificio Pria, Biella, 2008).

In 2008, during his stay in Barcelona, Federico met Diego Valenzuela (guitar), Gerard Serra (bass) and Cristian Vilalta (drums), and together they formed "Fuzz Quartet". The quartet conquered Barcelona's jazz scene, with invitations to play in some important jazz festivals in Cataluña. Federico (cello) and Cristian (drums), made a unusual concert at the jazz club "Jazz sí", exploring the possibilities of jazz from the combination of only drums and cello.
Together with other musicians of "L'aula School of Modern Music Barcelona", the quartet played in the most popular jazz clubs of Barcelona (Jamboree, Jazz Sí, Zac Club), playing from standard jazz to world music.

During the Summer of 2007, Naif and Purpurea Band with special guest Federico Puppi toured around Italy and France, participating in major festivals like FIMU Belfort, Arezzo/Italian Wave, Rockaufort and LuccaSummerFestival, where they opened for the north-American singer Lauryn Hill.
