Channelling the elemental grandeur of nature and the existential enigma of the human experience, perceived with a dark romanticism. Evoking the majestic and awe-inspiring as well as the ominous and threatening sides of the forces of nature.

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.

Einmusik, the solo project of Berlin-based producer Samuel Kindermann, is a cornerstone of melodic techno and house music. Born in the late ‘70s, Einmusik’s early influences—spanning Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, and Drum ‘n’ Bass—shaped his emotive, atmospheric sound. Since his 2003 debut “Weekender,” he has crafted a career defined by intricate melodies and immersive soundscapes, with key releases like “Jittery Heritage” and albums “5 A.M” and “Serenade.”

In 2008, he launched Einmusika Recordings, a Berlin label fostering both new and established artists, solidifying his impact on the scene. Renowned for his dynamic live performances, Einmusik’s recent highlights include his 2019 Cercle stream at Preikestolen, Norway, amassing over 15 million views, his remix of Tinlicker’s “Starchaser” in 2024, and original tracks “Let Me Out” and “Hypnotized,” showcasing his evolving artistry and command of mood-driven techno. With over two decades in the game, he remains a vital figure in electronic music.

Orta is a collaboration between Roberta D'Angelo and Alessandro Incorvaia. It started in 2019.

The name Orta comes from a river in Italy, which for a while runs in the middle of a canyon.

We play ethereal and dreamy suites using various instruments and sources.
