Egisto Macchi
Committed musician, eclectic and generous, essentially self-taught, he has gone with vigor and emotion through all the seasons of Italian music after World War II. The variety of experiences lived from M° E. Macchi (next to the composition, the musical organization, improvisation, electronic music) reveals on the one hand, the extent and the extroversion of his musical interests, on the other hand, the very limits of its production of art, that in fact remained on the margins of the history of the Italian avant-garde music.
