"La belleza más absoluta. Es tan difícil describir con palabras la música de Andrei Machado que sería más sencillo compararla con el sentimiento más maravilloso que cada persona pueda albergar dentro de si misma. Un bosque, un lago, una cabaña, la fina lluvia, el calor del fuego, la persona amada,... y, sobre todo, un piano. "Lacuna" demuestra que estamos ante un extraordinario compositor, aunque seguramente este no se el adjetivo que más agrade a Andrei Machado que, junto con otros como Olafur Arnalds, se postula como abanderado de un nuevo estilo músical llamado "classical indie" (más cercano a Yann Tiersen, Johann Johannsson e incluso Wim Merters que a cualquier referencia pop minimalista). Melodías casi perfectas nacidas de las virtuosas manos de este brasileño, que consigue crear atmósferas étereas llenas de sosiego y tranquilidad donde parece que nada importa. Música para meditar y reconfortarse de lo verdaderamente esencial de la vida. Más meritorio si cabe es el hecho de que cada una de las canciones tiene su vida propia y no se basan en un mismo pasaje, algo muy común en las grabaciones de pianísticas ("Eu Sei Que Soi Fraco" es tan increiblemente hermosa que asusta). Después de todo lo comentado, surge un interrogante... ¿como puede ser posible que Andrei Machado no haya firmado todavía con discográfica alguna? Él, mientras tanto, regala su belleza a todo aquel que quiera disfrutarla. Y nosotros bien que se lo agradecemos."

"Beautiful soundscapes, heartbreaking melodies; yeah, whatever. Too often music reviewers get lost in a forrest of known words, leaving a review sound the same like every other. I have to admit, it is really hard to find words for certain music and the emotions it may cause - established patterns are too easy to fall back into, but for the music reviewers defence: an atmospheric album will always remain as such; emotional, teary, beautiful piano compositions will always stay like that and there is no other way describing this."

"When the new album by Andrei Machado, Étant, starts playing, the sentiment you get is anxiety. Different from his previous work Lacuna, these first moments are notably crafted, causing a palpable sensation that only a sensitive artist could achieve. One can notice, with caress, that Andrei is back, inviting us to walk the new path he found through his music. The melodies from this singular world are contemplative, explored by Andrei’s uncommon minimalism, passing messages that beautiful words could not translate. And here lies the reflection caused by Étant, and its french translation - Existence - could not be more appropriate: is his own terms, Andrei Machado gives voice to the human anguish of Being. Be it experimenting, as in “Ecce Homo” and “O Limiar da Eternidade”, or causing a recurring déjà-vu in “O Cemitério dos Deuses Mortos”, or even firming a touching accent as in “E, Finalmente, Deixei o Sol Entrar”, Andrei Machado proves that he has not lost his strength, that his music outbreaks and turns itself in light, and yet can melt into emotive tears. In his new work Andrei Machado justifies himself and vigorously demontrates that music, the beautiful music in its most classic tone, is still here: it exists."

"Andrei Machado is a Brazilian composer and Lacuna is his debut album. With simple touches of his piano he creates some beautiful, soft and heartbreaking melodies. A mix of elegance, beauty and sensitivity in an airy and enchanting atmosphere. It may not be a new formula, but Andrei manage to breathe some life into it."
