Best known as a member of Nine Inch Nails, Alessandro Cortini has quietly been carving a name for himself in the world of experimental electronic music. The producer, composer, and musician is known for his lush ambient music, full of smoky restraint. His latest record, SCURO CHIARO, is focused on a single instrument Cortini made himself — Strega, a semi-modular synth and effects box.

With this custom synth, he has opened up a new sonic world with “a focus on the infinite fluctuations of limited palettes, a fine way of hanging harmonic flesh on sinewy rhythms, and an urge to slowly explode minute pulses into capacious sound worlds.” (Pitchfork)

Cortini last performed in Vancouver in 2015. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see him live in the intimacy of the Telus Studio Theatre, featuring special guest Alexi Baris.
