I’m Luciano Masala, a musician, sound designer, and composer from Italy.
I have more than 8 years of experience with composing, making various types of music, from Indie Pop, to EDM and Chiptune, to Orchestral and Folk.
I’m based in a small town in Padua, Italy, although I’m planning to move out of the country in the near future.
My stage name is “papercuties”; I write heartfelt songs that I produce and mix, and I have a small community of people who show interest in my work and are fans.
Some of my tracks have been featured on Spotify’s editorial playlists such as Fresh Finds Dance, and also supported directly by better-known artists,
such as Tennyson, saaaz, Instupendo, & more…
I also run 2 other aliases, with “marie” being a lofi hip/hop musical project, and “hershel” an ambient project which debuted recently with its first album.
I work with Ableton Live 12 Suite, iZotope 10 Audio Editor, Max For Live and at times Audacity (mostly for raw data works).
As of right now, I’m looking to gain new musical work experience, such as: working on videogame OSTs and SFX, scoring movie soundtracks,
collaborating with more people and perhaps joining a team.
I’m also a recent graduate from the music school “Conservatorio Cesare Pollini,” specializing in Jazz Guitar.

”hershel” is a brand new ambient project, that debuted in July 2026 with the release of the album “silent steps for a better way” via Whitelabrecs.
With sounds inspired by late Stars Of The Lid, Tim Hecker, Bing & Ruth, Kyle Bobby Dunn, and many more, this project is in constant growth and the second album is already in the works.
“papercuties” is my indie pop / folk project, that started in 2023.
During these years I’ve been building a solid fan base and joined many communities around the world (local events, Japanese forums, Discord servers, etc.).
I have been featured in various URL festival events, such as Channel 24/25, Camp Boneyard, sleepy.zone, etc.
I also have been added to some of Spotify’s editorial playlists such as “Fresh Finds Dance”, and had the chance to talk directly
via DMs with some of my favorite artists.
I write, sing, produce, and finalize every single track and release it independently, although I have been searching for a record label
recently to help me squeeze out the best of my tracks’ potential.
As of July 2026 I have released 10 tracks during these 2 years, and a 5 track tape made of lost demos. I’m currently working on finishing 2 EPs.

”marie” is a lofi hip/hop project that started during Winter 2025, mainly focused on sleepy beats, bossa nova, and folk beats.
I work closely with labels such as Lofi Girl, Sleep Tales, The Jazz Hop Café, and many more (20+) and I released over 60 tracks from 2025 - 2026.
I’m constantly releasing music and participating in compilations and playlists. A plan for the future is to open my own lofi record label.
