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.

Ink Elk is a queer band that has been shaped and polished by city-streets, highways, mountains, rivers and woods. Meeting in 2012 in Guatemala, while travelling, Iza and Rae started playing music together. They were sleeping in the woods, and hitch-hiking around central & northamerica with empty pockets, playing music on the streets just a way to get butter for their bread, but slowly, it became  more serious. After getting the opportunity to record an EP, it was on like donkey kong. They were now officially a band and the travels continued on over to Europe. 

Up until this day they never stopped travelling and this way they have been able to gather inspiration from many different places around this globe. Coming from opposite sides of the world with completely different history, Iza and Rae, have managed to unite their differences while creating music. The spectrum spreads from Folk to Punk and between with a touch of spanish rhythm. We are currently located in the U.S.

We are "homeless", wandering, hobos, yo! We hope you enjoy our sound. check the links below for our youtube channel, tumblr, spotify, itunes, facebook and more!
