Egisto Macchi (1928-1992) was one of the great figures in 20th Century Italian sound. Arguably most well known for his membership in the seminal avant-garde collective, Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, with Ennio Morricone, Franco Evangelisti, Frederic Rzewski, Roland Kayn, Walter Branchi, and numerous others, like his friend, collaborator, and peer, Morricone, Macchi dedicated a great deal of his creative energy working within the field of film and television, composing over 50 cinema soundtracks, and approximately 1.000 for documentaries and television shows, quietly weaving a vast and unique form of sonic radicalism into the popular realm.

Macchi’s albums from the 1970’s represent some of the most remarkable and striking recordings, from anywhere, of the era - a stunning expanse of thrilling sound, which most often falls into the territory of Library Music - a body of recordings which was generally commissioned and owned by record labels, to be licensed for use within television programs, radio, and film, as stock or background music.
