18+ w/Valid I.D. NO I.D.=NO ADMISSIONThe Middle East presents: Alessandro Cortini - 18+, $28 Advance / $30 Day of Show, 7:00 PM DoorsAlessandro 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 Fendis presentations. In 2022, he exhibited a high-concept audio installation called Nati Infiniti for Sonar 2022 at Museu de Lisboas Fbrica de Moagem. A live version of Nati Infiniti is set to debut at Berlin Atonal in 2023.Alessandro Cortinis music has been licensed for use in television, film and documentaries, games, and commercials, including FXs 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 Cortinis identity remixing the likes of Depeche Mode to Mogwai to Death Cab For Cutie, Yann Tiersen to Vatican Shadow, and more between and beyond.Sale Dates and Times:
