- Part 3 of our chat with Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails live band) about his wonderful collection of instruments, and the way he works, He shows us how he uses the 200 sequencer to build a beat.
Please more studio tours and real audio geekery like this.
And do a monthly show with Alessandro. Epic.
sunil solanki Yes, that would be fantastic if you could have him on the show semi-regularly. I know he's very busy but I never fail to learn every time I see him.
Instablaster.
I absolutely love him. He'd just be happy to sit there for hours and hours just showing you this shit all day long!
Strangely, watching this really elevated my mood.
Thats the wonderful power real beauty has :)
Every time!
Watching something you enjoy elevated your mood? How strange.
It did kill my Moog tho.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stop buying synthesizers.
and of course I downloaded every free synthesizer plug-in. I love the OBX-D plug-in by the way.
I have them, I like the Prophet VS. They had a black friday sale $180.00 at BH photo.
I was checking current prices of a couple of my synths to sell them and I end up buying an analog mono and a CV sequencer U_O
+friendofCHAKA Reaktor 6 is THE monster!!!
+Jonathan white rice???only for you my friend!!!my friedge have a good quality!!!
This is great! I love the filtering stuff with the hi-hat pattern. Such an interesting way of going about sequencing drums too!
Alessandro seems like a super cool guy too.
Man I gotta fire up my modular now, this was inspiring!
Awesome. One of the best gear tours I've seen online. Actually one of the best TH-cam vids I've seen. So genuine. Good job Nick and thank you Cortini! !
Diz guy... Genius.
I just love the way his music doesn't like bleeps & blips but more organic and really open. Thank you for this.
Thanks for doing this cool interview... it's always a pleasure to see the interviewer knows what he's talking about. Great work ! Thanks for that !!! Amazing Studio... And Alessandro is a great inspiration.
Top bloke, top gear. He's one of the few people who really made me want a
Buchla modular, even though I know that I'll never be able to afford
one. Still saving up for an Easel, maybe I'll make it one day. Damn you,
gear acquisition syndrome!!
Thank you for this series Nick & Alessandro!
A truly inspirational performer and damn if he doesnt come across as a really top bloke too!
Great series! I was luckily enough to see "SONOIO" back in 2011 at the Phoenix in Toronto.
Alessandro Cortini is the most down to Earth .... Grounded & Cool synth God Of ALL TIME.
Richard Michael well, I'd have to say listening to Trent Reznor gives (me) the same impression. The guy is incredibly knowledgeable, seems very approachable (at least now, not sure about a decade or so ago) and I could listen to him talk for hours, and hours, and more hours.
However, I agree about Alessandro as well. Everything I said for Trent applies to Alessandro aside from him not being approachable; I get the feeling he's ALWAYS happy to talk about anything synth related to anyone at any time.
The last thing I'll say is, I think it's no amazing coincidence that Trent & Alessandro ended up working together. With the genius of them both, I genuinely think it was only a matter of time, for sure. 😁
If you haven't, check out the I Dream of Wires hardcore edition, and then for sure the extended IDOW interviews on TH-cam. Trent & Alessandro have a longer interview together.
Cheers
Alessandro is interesting - more videos like this please & thanks!
Amazing video series! Alessandro has such a passion for synthesizers! Really interesting to see him him messing around like this. And he's such a cool easy going guy to top it off!
e has the "Oblique Strategies" oracle / tarot cards that Eno designed and used for creative strategies (on top of the Buchla)
that tone in the synth line he created for enough is just money, awesome
I love how the guy "pushes the reset button" on this modular whale at 4:50. Oh my! :D
Everything in this is amazing, watched all vids, espesh seeing how he made the kicks and snares and hats, , I love Alexandros compositions, and sonio!! I could watch these vids indefinitely!!!!!
the reset button LoL, I love his humor.
Brilliant : ) Been waiting for part 3. Nice one to finish up! Thanks Nick and Alessandro.
What a great series of videos, thank you Sonic State :-)
Don Buchla, modular synthesizer pioneer, dies aged 79. RIP
Spot the Richard D James!
TheRealFieryBiscuits 3:35 ^^
A synth for life!
Why are these videos so addicting? Im absolutely mesmerized, wtf is this lol
Yes!!! one more vid... wohooo
DUDE!
(and thanks sonicstate for your constantly high quality synth vids)
At 5:00 I realized that this is the best video EVER. I love both these guys!
Wow.... my brain freeze . Thank you so much for this awesome video . Cheers 👍👍😅
That ending was absolute kino.
The Synth Cave part 3.
Thank you so much,when is part four coming out.
running in long grass Sorry, thats it - we have no more..
sonicstate i didnt even know there was a part 3! my day is already made! this man and his passion of modulars and chaotic machines motivated me to take the step and start my own modular designs and building them! for now it's not going to be very modular more like noise boxes but i'll get there!
fayekhelmi FYI, any pedal that has an input for "expression pedal" (like Boss delays and pitch shifters), once you get something modular like a Microbrute, or LFO module, you can have them interact with and modulate your pedal setup.. Also, buying cheap used mixers, and creating 'mixer feedback' with all of their inputs and outputs is a super fun and cheap way to get crazy modular, analog sounds... a bit chaotic, but they can sound great!
Winter Soldier has some mad synth skill.
This is so cool. I could watch this for hours.
Distortion = dirty compression.
Groovy set up, fun sounds.
Thanks for showing us your studio, Alessandro.
Amazing artist and nice guy. Excellent chat ;)
Love the Aphex Twin tape on top.
fucking living legend this guy right here. Great job alex.
"i cannot know where i want to go with it, and i like that" t=6:06
"it allows me to have a different chess game every time t=6:29
exactly
I love this, can you just make this a regular thing? haha
Stunning
This guy makes synths look cooler than cool! All this envy rises up in me, like when I was a teenager, "man i want to be that guy" haha! His live rig vid was even better. Props to this guy, what a legend! And thanks Nick for te vids!
Now there's a desk I could sit behind for days ... :)
that cat + modular painting is awesome
Cortini is a big inspiration. An absolute legend we should all aspire to be (synth wise, i don't know the man!)
Amazing series of videos. Thank you. It'd be interesting to see an episode of 'in the synth cave' with Gavin Russom.
Wooooooauw!!!! Fantastic!
thank you for inspiration
Enjoyed all 3 parts well worth a plod through the archives :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
I just finally got a chance to play on a Buchla system. This video is very helpful
Amazing
Notice the use of Teenage Engineering OP-1 and Elektron gear plus tons of Buchla and also Make Noise gear!
OP-1 is like the friend that is awkward and doesn’t quite fit in, but is still super cool to invite to the party.
Love this! What a dream million dollar studio setup. Fun insight into the brilliant mind of Cortini and his approach to music synthesis and production. Need to look into the Decapitator plugin, never heard of that. Buchla too rich for my blood. He must have 200k in just that.
Good stuff guys. Thanks.
The creation of the Drum sequence fascinating...
Perfect, thanks!!!
The way he built the Kik hat an snare was very very interesting!!!
Amazing is the word here
tremeeeeendo documental!!!
Very cool.
Gosh, that oscillator is a wild one, ain't she? So much character.
I love it
love it.
Wow.....
Great video.
great clip! thx!
un po di esercizio fisico no guasta!! :D Essere un mostro delle frequenze e stressante!! Mitico!! grande...
I love too decapitator and i use it in all sounds too :)
living the dream. i am so jealous and depressed at the same time!
“Actually can you pass me a blue cable “
Today I learned that I know very little about sound design.
7:44 when the camera panned up I nearly s**t myself.
Wow very cool
seems like such a rad guy
Good stuff!
That framed "Meathead Perspective" portrait though...
What a lovely chap! The other guy is very similar to Daniel Miller
he is a genius
Flying the sound spaceship
"best module name ever" heeheehee
So interesting to see someone work on one of those for someone like myself that sees a mess of stuff when I look at it. I'll stick to drums.
i kinda panicked seeing him pulling out those cables that way
buchla is great!
Rocking ICBYD on cassette -- nice
Beautiful bleepin Buchla. I agree:Days......
Is there a link or more info for the project "enough" at 3:21?
As always great videos!
Aaron Moore That's part of his Sonoio project: www.sonoio.org/

Sell my soul for buchlas
Would've been nice to hear those modular sounds direct. (lol, I think that was it at the end, literally paused video 1 second before that started.)
nice - what are those speakers??
why he didn't use OR for combining gate outputs from the sequencer? he just makes a bridge, but the voltage from the individual gate outputs via this bridge comes into another gate outputs - is this normal for buchla?
Fammi sentire cortini
Super random, but I just love how he actually calls Ableton Live "Live" and not "Ableton," lol.. People always call the DAW by the company name and it annoys me. No-one probably cares except me though, lol.
I could watch this magic until my natural death.
Lol I also deleted all the loops in my logic library...fuck that shit lol
Man everbody is using Live these days, I have it, but I must be an idot as I just can't wrap my head around it. Its the only sequencer I've ever had going all the way back to my SE30 and Opcode Vision where I wasn't able to figure it out on my own. Anyway cool video and quite a setup he's got there, however I had to turn the volume down when he started that 1st sequence as it was like running fingernails down a chalk board to my ears ( The rythmic sequence was much more tolerable and cool :)
Same kind of thing happened with me and Live. It took me a good while before it clicked with me. I kept going back to it and learning a little more each time then putting it down for a while.
Is that a module 245 he's using for sequence drums?
Reznor always find the best people...Fkn A!
It sounded like the score to Forbidden Planet lol
He needs more patch cables!! He's always stealing them from other synths!
7:15 forbidden planet?
Cool accent.
Italian pride (one of the few)
