London-based label focused on releasing electronic music that is expressive, communicative, and has a strong sense of development and structure. Much contemporary electronic music is dominated by a minimalist approach, and often with a total focus on the mechanical nature of electronics. But Oscillations will focus on electronic music with a human touch, and on compositions that have a deeper sense of journey, or narrative. Maximal rather than minimal.

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.

Pierre-Luc Lecours is a composer and multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal (Canada). His artistic practice covers many different mediums and aesthetics, ranging from music to video and performance. His work is characterized by a search for expressiveness in projects exploring themes related to nature, social phenomena and politics. He draws influences as much from the currents of instrumental and electroacoustic contemporary music as from electronic and experimental music. His performances feature everyday objects combined with traditional instrumentation and annotated musical writing.

After a bachelor’s degree in digital music, Lecours is a candidate for the Master’s in composition at the Faculty of Music of the University of Montreal under the supervision of Pierre Michaud. As a researcher, he is interested in the interpretation of electronic music, gesture and time management in musical composition. He received a graduate scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (CRSH), the Arsène David Scholarship and the OICRM Master’s Scholarship.

He has received music commissions for film, theater, dance and television. His work has been heard, among others, at the Montreal International Documentary Encounters (RIDM), the Chicago Film Festival, Radio-Canada, Hot Docs and Radio France. His album Paysages Imaginaires will be published in February 2019 under the label Mikroclimat of DAME (CA).

His works have been honored by Exhibitronic 2017, the Composition Contest of the Destellos Foundation 2014, the Young Composers Competition of the SOCAN Foundation 2014 and Time play of CEC 2014 and 2017. His work has been featured in more than 100 international events, including MUTEK (CA), Elektra (CA), Vision of future (US), Futura (FR), Digital Weekender (UK), Sound Space (BE), Seeing Sound (UK), NEXT (SK), BIAN (CA), Akousma (CA), Currents New Media (USA), Muslab (MEX) and Resonances Électriques (FR).

I like to be introduced as a "MUSICAL TRAVEL-AGENT".
ONSTAGE I'm mostly playing an Easel K (Buchla Modular Synth) and The Pipe (from SOMA Lab) which allows mouth-synthesis... I also manipulate unique vinyls with my sounds/musics, assaulting turntables to take advantage of the vinyl material to fondle released sounds, raking the needle across the record's grooves, rubbing their stylus on paper, cardboard, metal to process unusual noises and textures. I have a physical relation to my recordings and envision my live sets like performances. 
Gesture is also a very important part of my compositional process... While composing I am also relying on the use of real instruments such as Cymbalom, Pianos, Guitar and Percs that I play like a kid discovering a new toy, improvising and attaching great importance to gesture and stressing dynamics. My moves aren’t consensual, not cozying up potential listeners. A Punky approach even if throughout the past years I have been following courses of Composition + Electroacoustic Music at the Conservatory, specializing in Modular Synthesis. 
Pushing further my research in bringing together the Human and its Machine into a tapestry of sound which creates a deep sound assemblage of exotic Musiques Concrètes which guarantees to grow on you with repeated listens, slowly revealing its detailed richness…
