curiously enough, this song cuts on the same place on the vinyl... intentional?

B1 Unknown - Song In Song

playing some factory patches from my Synclavier PSMT system (power supply is a bit busy, sound is usually supposed to be even better and cleaner)
consider that there is a big loss while recording it (96khz), and even more when converting to mp3 format, but still, it makes realize how good sound quality can be 
no FX added, nothing, played 100% dry

GRAFTS

Mix of the first two minutes from each of the tracks on the new collaborative LP from Alessandro Cortini & Merzbow.

Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails) and Japanese noise legend Massami Akita (Merzbow) share a mutual love for the EMS Synthi, a British synthesizer from the early 70's notorious for it's patch matrix, portability and distinct tone.

Astonishingly, these two disparate artists meld into a single sound as they flex the analog circuitry of the EMS Synthi in new ways; giving this classic synth a modern workout and proving that, in capable hands, a 40 year old analog synthesizer is a tool for the ages.

180 gram double vinyl. Metallic shimmer print on heavy duty jackets.

ALESSANDRO CORTINI & MERZBOW 2xLP - MIX EDIT - Shipping April 2017

2018 repress now available. 

Excerpts from the powerful new double LP from Caterina Barbieri comprised of compositions for analog synthesizer. Highly recommended to fans of Alessandro Cortini & Eleh. 

"Patterns Of Consciousness finds Caterina Barbieri at her best, elegantly moving between melodically pleasant yet twisted sequences and comforting, reassuring sonic spaces. Every piece, while given a singular identity, is part of the bigger picture: a work of art that will push you, pull you, and then eventually leave you with your back against the wall once you get to the last track. " Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails)

The tenth release on the Spazio Disponibile label comes from co-founder Neel and marks his first solo EP ever. The Italian DJ, producer and mastering engineer is known for his supple and subtle techno both solo or as one half of Voices From the Lake with Donato Dozzy. Previous solo outings appeared on labels like Prologue and Spectrum Spools, and now he shows off his sound design skills once more across three compelling and intense techno cuts on his own label.

AMORE AMARO

This week we have the master, the legend, the man, the myth, the one and only Danny Wolfers also known as Legowelt. Our label goes way back with Danny and we've done several releases with him on BAKK, our other label. Many years ago when we were young and still throwing raves he was one of our favourite acts to have over and play for the youths. In his own words:

"1 hour+ of synth-trip with mostly upcoming Nightwind records material - cosmic free amateur jazz  + professional ambient + devotional drug trip soundtrack songs and testing out some new synths too like the Novation WXAXRXP AFX 30th anniversary special edition Bass Station II"

ENJOY and stay flexible.

RUBBER TIJD with Legowelt

Alessandro Cortini is an Italian musician, producer, composer, and instrument builder. 

Cortini is one of the foremost figures of contemporary electronic music, best known for his haunting, atmospheric work. Alongside being a longstanding member of Nine Inch Nails, he is highly prolific and has released a steady stream of his own heady music on luminary labels including Mute, Hospital, and Important Records for the past decade. Throughout his shadowy rise to fame, he has collaborated with the likes of Lawrence English, Daniel Avery and Merzbow (to name a few). Balancing dark ambience with smokey, pulsing rhythms, his compositions are perfectly restrained, textured and mesmeric. 

Cortini was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 through his work with Nine Inch Nails, making history as the only Italian musician to have ever been honored with this recognition. 

In 2021, in collaboration with boutique synth builders Make Noise, Cortini released his own, custom-designed, semi-modular synth, “Strega” (Italian for ‘witch’). That same year, he used Strega to build his latest full length, Scuro Chiaro [Mute], which Pitchfork described as “pitched somewhere between purgatory and the planetarium ... consistently managing to thrill and surprise”. 

In addition to years of extensive worldwide touring, Cortini has also soundtracked fashion shows including Alexander McQueen, Dior, and several of Fendi’s presentations. In 2022, he exhibited a high-concept audio installation called “Nati Infiniti” for Sonar 2022 at Museu de Lisboa’s “Fábrica de Moagem.” A live version of “Nati Infiniti” is set to debut at Berlin Atonal in 2023.

Alessandro Cortini’s music has been licensed for use in television, film and documentaries, games, and commercials, including FX’s hit show The Bear, “Thank You Very Much” a documentary about Andy Kaufman, Samsung, BMW, Sony, and Netflix. Remixes have also been a part of Cortini’s identity – remixing the likes of Depeche Mode to Mogwai to Death Cab For Cutie, Yann Tiersen to Vatican Shadow, and more between and beyond.
