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.

edition project focused on some dialogues between some visuals artists and music artists which works with 3 publishings by year dispatched in 2 physical imprints: a disc (vinyl/cd) and a fine art book.

C'est à la contemplation qu'invite ce paysage sonore, à une balade de fin du monde entre d'épaisses brumes noires et la lumière salvatrice des éclaircies lunaires.

𝗠𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗱𝘀𝗼𝗻 [𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲] pratique le punk-rock de proximité, genre épicerie de nuit où l’on trouve le minimum vital, à la fois tendu, nerveux et pugnace, le tout sans jamais perdre de vue la mélodie! On les a vu avec la scène old school (Agnostic Front, Burning Heads, Seven Hate) et avec la relève des Young Harts, Ben & Fist et autres One Burning Match! Ça se ballade de Ainay-le-Château à la République Tchèque, du squat à la SMAC, sans prétention d’être les premiers en quoi que ce soit, mais plutôt les derniers à survivre.
