Here's the thing I like the most: Alessandro constantly mentioning the fact he doesn't know what he's doing and he's just "playing around". Absolutely love that!
I would watch this if it was a 2 hour documentary... seriously the best stuff on the internet now, nick asking perfect questions on a nerdy level to the most admirable and humble sound designer we have on the planet today. Thanks, cant wait for part 2, 3, 4 and 5 :-)
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
I love Cortini’s experimental, outside the box approach to music. It actually inspired me to splurge on Elektron OT, A4 and MD (within the span of a few months,) despite having no prior experience with grooveboxes or hardware in general. Jumping in the deep end, but having a blast and taking musical journeys that never would have occurred to me on the familiar ground of my iPad production software.
The Elektrons are fantastic, I bought a Digitone as my first... & since then I've bought all the others besides a Machinedrum. I've only given away my Model Cycles & Samples now recently to the other guys I know & work with too, to get them onto using them now. Whatever u do, don't sell off your Elektrons to favour or buy other Elektrons on the way... The more u learn from owning 1 & then pairing it with another... Like u have already done. With a pair u start to really get things flowing & going in ways that hopefully will get u hooked into the Elektron ways, & in the box composition just won't do it for ya in the unique out of the box methodology Elektrons offer instead imo. U will use ya ears & not your eyes more producing with the great grooveboxs & hardware stuff nowadays.
This is absolutely awesome. So glad I found it. Even though my music is very different to alessandros he has given me a lot of influence. Love to play him my tunes one day. Thanks for the great vid.
What a magical moment @ 07:32 Wonderfull piece of music , and the look on Nick's face .;)..can't really tell if he's amazed by it or the contrary , he looks sauer
Thanx for sharing Alessandro! I find your analogy of creating music interesting, the turning knobs, or in my case moving sliders, process can be fun:) I love the Buchla synth, I noticed Buchla uses 3.5 mm patch chords much nicer than 1/4 inch. a good thing.
He’s the reason I found CL! He used both on the opening track of hesitation marks. Plumbutter for the rhythm and coco on trents vocals. But he sadly got rid of em a few years back :( love your vids btw!
I think there is a fortune to be made with a re-packaged Synthi/Cat bundle. Each unit ships with your very own housecat, and with time you'll get that true analog cat-fur-in-the-circuitry mojo, which you just can't with any 'cat fur' emulator.

Playing around with good ears and good taste.

ollilaboratories i agree, humble and helpful, Allesandro is a very great guy!!
Perfectly said
Absolutely ok with you Olli!
indeed and great way to learn what equipment helps craft professional level electronic music.

These videos are like therapy. Always putting them on in the background.
Ahaha, me too!
His enthusiasm is so childlike and in a wonderful way. A lot of musicians lose that love over time.
Came for the synths...stayed for Frank.
Love Alessandro. Such a creative and talented guy. Inspired me to play synths and have the patience required to get better.
This was a joy to watch. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks, Ss.
.
thank you SonicState, he's definitely my music hero and being able to see his latest studio is kind of a dream coming true :) thank you
This is the best interview of your channel. Very positive!
this could've been twice as long and still as engaging. thanks for making this!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! i could watch videos of his gear for days... excellent content, sonicstate!
Thanks for the opportunity to see this setup. Though I can dream, would be nice to build / collect a bit myself. One day.
Wow!
...right on SonicState! You guys are on fire lately! Such good content! Keep it up! :]
awesome interview and gear show.....drool. Keep it up! Love this guy, so genuine and informative.

"Let's see what this button does"
Per felice caso (o passioni in comune) ti ho trovato qui!

:D
Absolute legend. Very inspiring.
and alessandro's not bad either

Thank you so much for this. RIP 2600.
Just now catching up to this vid and it was a true pleasure. Apart from the dream gear, Alessandro is obviously a joy engage with. What a cool guy!

…I just play around knobs all day 15:55 This vid is a classic and a favorite! Thank you Nick for this splendid tour!
How I have I never come across this. This is incredible. Cortini is so inspiring
Does anyone know which of his album/piece/tracks includes the "bathtub" ambient recording he describes at the 11:00 mark?
That was crazy. My cat came in meowing at 18:38
Wonderful Video. Thank you.
This is absolutely awesome. So glad I found it. Even though my music is very different to alessandros he has given me a lot of influence. Love to play him my tunes one day. Thanks for the great vid.

Wonderful interview, thanks!

Thank you Nick & co (and of course Alessandro & Frank). Made my Easter weekend!
This was really something special. Thanks guys!
Great interview. Good to see someone explain their Modular workflow
Amazing studio. He is very knowledgeable. Best sonicstate video ever.
the cat and synth painting in the background
Dalin Waldo hahaha just saw it because of your comment. it's an amazing painting tbh
hahaha, yeah - and the 303 cushion
Fantastic! Interesting point of view.
Alessandro is the man! Ol' "Indiana Drones" himself. I'd love to visit that studio.
This is sooo awesome,thanks Alessandro (and of course sonicstate:)
Brilliant video. And love Frank
What a magical moment @ 07:32
Wonderfull piece of music , and the look on Nick's face .;)..can't really tell if he's amazed by it or the contrary , he looks sauer
alessandro cortini sunk my battleship
Just Awesome...
Thanks for the video!
WOW. That sequence at 7:33 is pure sonic bliss.
Thanx for sharing Alessandro! I find your analogy of creating music interesting, the turning knobs, or in my case moving sliders, process can be fun:) I love the Buchla synth, I noticed Buchla uses 3.5 mm patch chords much nicer than 1/4 inch. a good thing.
I’ve watched these so many times
That 2001 screensaver.
Alessandro sei il numero 1 al mondo. Un vero sconosciuto Orgoglio italiano.
Could watch 5 hours of this. Easily.
"I Care Because You Do" - Aphex Twin
Hope there are about 45 of these. Very nice video Nick and team. I believe it was a cirklon he was using as master clock
Great vid!
2 Legends!
Alessandro rocks!
Does anybody know what the hell those knob-laden wooden boxes are above the Analog Four? You can get a good look at them @13:23
I do hope he talks about his Ciat Lonbarde instruments!
Oooo I spy a tempest. Very nice. I picked one up too. Awesome instrument. You should post some vids w/ you playing the tempest! 🤘🏽
Great stuff. This was very interesting, I hope there are many more parts. More cats & synthesizers please! =)
You can totally hear the cat fur on that Synthi
nice interview! will re-watch again ;-)
Awesome episode, well done guys
Does anyone know what rack/stand mounting gear is being used for the synths and keyboards seen at the 12:00 mark?
Jasper stands!
www.jaspers-alu.de/eng/keyboards.html
+Alessandro Cortini we all want to know what you were playing at 7:31! Is it something you've released, or will release?
Loved it
Wow love those Synthi sounds!
The painting behind Alessandro says it all.
Good lord...what a fun room to be in!
"If I'm gonna break it, I'm gonna break it." Lol. What a cool guy! No wonder he worked with NIN for so long.
I am fairly sure the Synthi AKS was mine. Love Alessandro's Forse and the 202 album.
can't believe... I must be there... like: now
damn ,that's my old vcs3! I miss it!!! at least it's used well!
Did the interviewer happen to do a review on the novation ultranova? He looks familiar
Very insightful :)
Inspirational to say the least!
8:30 Mentions he's played one show with the system. Doesnt mention it was with Don Buchla himself lol. If I'm not mistaken at least.
is it an electronic cat on the red sofa around 13:30?
Love it!!!
17:56 ahhh so that’s where the metallic grinding sound comes from on SABBIA.
Did anyone else notice the Meathead Perspective pic of Alessandro on the wall at 4:02? I love it!
Annie Samuel I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else noticed =P
Awesome, nice chill cat also!
Love the TC-303 that comes into the shot (in the background) right at 14:26 =0D
**(Techno Cushion - 303 )
Thanks man.
love that "Cat on Buchla" painting in the back :D
Very cool.
What mounting/rack system is being used here? @13:45
Found it myself : www.jaspers-alu.de/index.php?sprache=2
Nick, what did you mean, do you tend to print? Do you print out notation from jam sessions?Thanks!!!
great video! thx!
oooooo i spy cocoquantus and plumbutter !! love to see some love for the wooden synths
He’s the reason I found CL! He used both on the opening track of hesitation marks. Plumbutter for the rhythm and coco on trents vocals. But he sadly got rid of em a few years back :( love your vids btw!
@@darrencruz8952 oooo very nice little bit of trivia there I’ll have to revisit those tracks and take a listen :) and thank you for listening!
07:26 Plays what's laying around in his buffer.
Nick passes out from awesome.
Loved the very relaxed cat
That cat's heard it all.
2001:A Space Odyssey Screensaver. Neat!
That Nine Inch Nails money must be pretty good for him to be able to afford to experiment like this.
Wow!
