La Finestra Dentata
Papiro’s approach to music is never technical, but always personal.

La finestra dentata (The Toothed Window), is no exception. It includes both studio and concert recordings from 2016–2020. The sounds on this album appear infinite and full of marvels, ingenious in portraying imaginary creatu…
