Intro

Sebastian Plano creates a sound that is both grand and intensely private. His music is built on the foundation of the cello, but he treats the instrument as a building block for vast, orchestral landscapes. By layering his own performances into thick, resonant textures, he creates the illusion of a full chamber ensemble that breathes as a single organism. It is music that feels liquid, flowing effortlessly between traditional classical forms and modern ambient sensibilities.

What sets Plano apart is his seamless integration of electronic elements. He doesn't just add synths on top of strings; he uses electronics to expand the physical space of the recording. You might hear the mechanical click of piano keys or the friction of a bow against a string, grounded by a deep, pulsing bass that feels more like a heartbeat than a drum machine. This tactile, 'close-mic' intimacy makes the listener feel like they are sitting in the middle of the studio.

Start with the album 'Verve' to experience his most polished and expansive work. It captures the perfect balance of his Argentinian roots, his Berlin electronic influences, and his rigorous classical training. It is the ideal companion for moments of deep reflection, creative work, or simply disappearing into a rich, sonic world for an hour.

Sebastian Plano (born 1985) is an Argentinian cellist, composer and producer based in Berlin, Germany. His 2019 album Verve was nominated for Best New Age Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. He has composed the soundtrack for the video game Everything alongside Ben Lukas Boysen.
