Bio

Sebastián Macchi is an Argentine pianist, composer, and singer-songwriter

His music conveys impressions of the Paraná river landscape and voices the realities of its shores from a universal perspective, free of stylistic boundaries — where folklore, jazz, MPB, rock, and classical music coexist, opening onto the wide horizon of song

He has released six albums in Argentina (Shagrada Medra) and in Japan (Inpartmaint Inc.):

  • “Melodía Baldía” (2022)
  • Aguasílabas (2019), a trio with Carlos Aguirre (fretless bass) and Gonzalo Díaz (drums)
  • “Piano Solito” (2017)
  • Luz de Agua “Poemas de Juan L. Ortiz/Canciones” (2005)
    y “Otras canciones” (2015), junto a Claudio Bolzani y Fernando Silva
  • Lucas Nikotian /Sebastián Macchi (2013)

He also published a sheet music book with the complete transcription of the album Luz de Agua — Poemas de Juan L. Ortiz / Canciones (2023)

His current projects include:

  • Colectivo Baldío, a quintet with an electric, rock–song style, with whom he will release the album Grita en mí this year.
  • A duo with Catalan violinist Laura Urteaga, soon to record in Italy a series of academically-oriented pieces under the name Abismario
  • Divino Profano, his solo piano project, re-imagining instrumental versions of songs by Luis Alberto Spinetta, Charly García, and Fito Páez
  • A duo with Uruguayan singer Cecilia de los Santos

He has toured in Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Japan, and the United States

His compositions have been recorded by artists such as Aca Seca Trío, Trío Familia, Cecilia Pahl, and Mario Gusso.

He has also taken part in albums and projects by Nicolás Ibarburu, Carlos Aguirre, Jorge Fandermole, Silvia Iriondo, Coqui Ortiz, Cecilia Pahl, and Luis Barbiero, among others

In addition, he has worked as artistic producer on albums by Claudio Bolzani, Taylor Mackall, and Belén Herrera

"May these songs resonate across many inner seas and kindle a light for this devastated world — that is the intention of this music, born from the longing to live freely here"
