On Oct 4th, Italian synth master Alessandro Cortini headlines the Ruins. A leading voice in the modern experimental music landscape, and a longtime member of Nine Inch Nails, his haunting minimalist works tap into eerie, penetrating depths. His modular synth pieces draw upon states of liminality and edge-of-dream semi-consciousness, calling to mind the unsettling strangeness of empty hallways, vacant offices and icy streets at midnight. Yet within his sometimes harrowing explorations can be found a latent romanticism. Experimental guitarist Rachika Nayar joins, conjuring spectral traces and maximalist ambience. She returns for the first time since her Outline performance in 2021.
