Alessandro Cortini + Agnese Menguzzato

silent green presents

Alessandro Cortini
Alessandro Cortini is an Italian musician, producer, composer, and instrument builder. Cortini is one of the foremost figures of contemporary electronic music, best known for his haunting, atmospheric work. Alongside being a longstanding member of Nine Inch Nails, he is highly prolific and has released a steady stream of his own heady music on luminary labels including Mute, Hospital, and Important Records for the past decade. Throughout his shadowy rise to fame, he has collaborated with the likes of Lawrence English, Daniel Avery and Merzbow (to name a few). Balancing dark ambience with smokey, pulsing rhythms, his compositions are perfectly restrained, textured and mesmeric.

Cortini was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 through his work with Nine Inch Nails, making history as the only Italian musician to have ever been honored with this recognition.

 

Agnese Menguzzato
Agnese Menguzzato is a composer and musician based in Berlin. With a foundation in violin and Renaissance lute, she has charted her own musical path by playing at the intersection of past and current sonorities, often deploying the lute auditory potential.

Her debut solo EP Scusa, released through the Berlin Label Verlag, has been praised as “an ode to gentleness,” as it reveals her ability to craft deeply emotive soundscapes. Menguzzato’s musical expression is rooted in the vivid imagery of her childhood and a profound interaction with nature, from which all human sentiment flows.
