ALESSANDRO CORTINI And MERZBOW

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

Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails) and Japanese noise legend Masami Akita (Merzbow) bask in their mutual love for the EMS Synthi, a British synthesizer from the early 70s, notorious for its 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.
