Alessandra Cortini and Merzbow - 2LP

[kichiguy]

 

Street date April 21, 2017

 

Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails) and Japanese noise legend Massami Akita (Merzbow) bask in their mutual love for the EMS Synthi, a British synthesizer from the early 70's notorious for it's patch matrix, portability and distinct tone.

 

Astonishingly, these two disparate artists meld into a single sound as they flex the analog circuitry of the EMS Synthi in new ways; giving this classic synth a modern workout and proving that, in capable hands, a 40 year old analog synthesizer is a tool for the ages.

 

180 gram double vinyl. Metallic shimmer print on heavy duty jackets.

Sounds great, almost thought Emptyset a few times. Decidedly more Merzbow than Alessandro, would love to hear more arps. Will go on my list.
