Italian musician, instrument-builder, producer, composer and longtime member of industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, Alessandro Cortini has announced the details of his latest release, Nati Infiniti, a 40-minute piece separated into five movements that are based on an immersive audio installation that ran across four floors of the Museu de Lisboa’s Fábrica da Moagem.
Nati Infiniti reimagines the installation, commissioned by Sónar Lisboa in 2022, capturing the ambiance of the original piece, where each of the four floors of the old flour mill evoked a different state through Cortini’s sound design. Constantly unfolding as the listener travels through the building, the album harnesses the movement of the piece by highlighting the interconnectedness of all things.
The hypnotic work that utilizes the Strega instrument that Cortini co-designed with Make Noise, was mixed and mastered by Marta Salogni into five movements. Nati Infiniti be available on October 4 on vinyl, CD and digitally. Cortini debuted the live audio-visual performance of Nati Infiniti at Berlin’s Atonal Festival and, after a series of sold-out performances by showcasing an improvised version of the album at each show.
Cortini has also announced he will be kicking off North American and European legs of a tour throughout 2024 and 2025, with more dates to be announced.
