Alessandro Cortini is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and electronic music maestro, renowned for his textured, atmospheric sounds and innovative approach to synthesis. Born in Bologna, Italy on May 24, 1974, he has cemented his position in the music industry not only through his solo projects but also as a member of the iconic industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails. Cortini's expertise with analog synthesizers has made him an influential figure in the ambient and experimental music scenes.

His solo endeavors showcase his skill in weaving intricate sonic landscapes, which is evident in his album "SCURO CHIARO," released in 2021. Cortini's ability to convey emotion through his instrumentals is also showcased in the collaborative work "Illusion Of Time," both as a standalone piece and in its reimagined versions like the Teodor Wolgers Rework. Moreover, his versatility extends to visual mediums, as exemplified by his scoring work for "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint (Original Game Soundtrack)." His discography, including albums such as "VOLUME MASSIMO" and "Immediate Horizon," underlines Cortini's role as an influential and forward-thinking artist in contemporary electronic music. His remixes, like "Northern Lights (Alessandro Cortini Remix)," further exemplify his dexterous handle on reworking material with his distinct sonic signature. With each project, whether it be "Iniziare," "Vincere," or "Perdonare," Cortini continues to push boundaries and captivate listeners with his profound musical narratives.
