Long time Nine Inch Nails collaborator Alessandro Cortini just announced the release of another Hospital Productions solo album, Risvelgio, set for July 27th.

The 2xLP/CD was written while on tour, just like his previous release, Sonno. Risvelgio “maintains the grittiness and intimacy introduced on his debut, but expands upon it, offering a wider spectrum of emotion and depth,” as stated in a Hospital Productions press release.

The press release also described the musical and productional directions Cortini took with the new album: he “implores and emphasizes the imperfections and visceral textures of electronics vacant from so much contemporary solo synthesizer music,” and does this in part by the addition of a Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer to the analog sequencer MC-202 featured on Sonno. As Cortini describes it,

The 303 can be such a haunting instrument used in a certain way, and I felt it completely fit the mood of the previous work I have done on the 202, especially when given a specific location in space….it’s such a living instrument.

Cortini’s most recent project was Skarn this past October; before then, the release of Forse Vol. I in 2013 and before then, a tour as keyboardist again joining Nine Inch Nails.

An upcoming audio-visual performance at the Berlin Atonal festival (Aug 19-23) will present both Sonno and Risvelgio. Tickets are available on the festival’s website.
