"Just when the repitive motif brought you to a state of almost-trance, you will be trown in the opposite direction with surging guitars and drums, and theatrical flashing lights. A discharge from meditatif to a tumultuous climax. "

Kaspar Rast (drums)

Andi Pupato (percussion)

Andi Pupato (* 1971 / Percussion): Switzerland's percussionist extraordinaire Andi Pupato has honed his skills with master drummers in Cuba (Changuito), Africa (Bilal Kounta) and Spain. His ability to work in literally any setting – by adding relentless groove and tasty colorings - make him the first choice for movie-work, recording and touring the world. World famous harpist Andreas Vollenweider, ECM-recording-artists „Ronin“, Rockband „Gotthard“ and many, many more count on his sevices. SNOWLAND is - after UNDERWATER - already Pupato's second recording with „Peter's Playstation“.
