Alessandro Cortini -In The Synth Cave part 1

We got to visit master synthesist and Nine Inch Nails collaborator and live performer at his studio. It was an amazing place, stuffed full of beautiful rarities. What follows is the first part of our chat.

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 :-)

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!

[ADrowning]

These videos are like therapy. Always putting them on in the background.

[tovmusic]

His enthusiasm is so childlike and in a wonderful way. A lot of musicians lose that love over time.

[tomorrowsman]

Does anyone know which of his album/piece/tracks includes the "bathtub" ambient recording he describes at the 11:00 mark?

[ADrowning]

Love Alessandro. Such a creative and talented guy. Inspired me to play synths and have the patience required to get better.

Thanks for the opportunity to see this setup. Though I can dream, would be nice to build / collect a bit myself. One day.
