When people ask why I like NIN, I say "the complexity and attention to detail". They usually look at me like I'm an idiot...but this video totally proves it. To have that setup on a live stage and have that level of freedom in the sound from night-to-night is just mind blowing. Props to everyone who makes it possible!

@DJSlaughter 8 лет назад

+Dylan Manthei I agree!

@dsandwhich00 6 лет назад

Dylan Manthei people asked you why you like NIN?

@GuitarsAndSynths 6 лет назад

and Trent Reznor is a big modular synth guy as well who pioneered NIN years ago before bringing Cortini on board

@CatFish107 3 года назад

The inherent bounds on reproducibility of something like a Buchla must make each live performance sound slightly different. Much like how a guitar or drum might produce slightly different sounds, depending on the variability of the individual performer, and the myriad other variables that might change from performance to performance.

@chrisbarriere101 7 месяцев назад

When you say attention to detail were you talking about the OP-1 or the tape decks?

@mattgowing 8 лет назад

This was one of the best rig rundowns I have ever watched. Alessandro is extremely well spoken! Over my head, yet he explained it in a way that made it easy to understand.

@amuletsmusic 6 лет назад

I started my whole musical project inspired by his use of a 4 track tape recorder at 3:45...

@tronlady1 6 лет назад

It's like a reverse mellotron!!!!

@juno3242 3 года назад

congrats on the flenser signing!! super stoked for the new record

@jomartinkelly1 10 лет назад

That was great. I love when musicians are so frank about their gear and willing to share. Saw them in Barcelona, just three of them on stage, and I was desperate to know how they got such an intense sound.

"My bloody valentine-ish pitch" hahaha love it!

@TheKiwNo1 10 лет назад

A stage tech was throwing those cassette tapes to the audience after the last show of the tour in Prague. Too bad I wasn't close enough to catch one :-) And a great video of course, thank you!

@justjustjustmcg 10 лет назад

I was aiming for your face! ;-)

@TheKiwNo1 10 лет назад

My fault for being too far away. Thanks for being awesome anyway! Those that caught them must have been crazy happy :-)

@MikeGomeztheDMG 6 лет назад

This was totally awesome. Big thanks to Alessandro for being so cool and patient; it’s a real treat to get a peek at a rig like this.

@therealquade 10 лет назад

>NIN uses OP-1 [screams internally] >hasn't bothered backing up patches from OP-1 [screaming intensifies] >actually uses cassette tapes [calm]

@midinerd 5 лет назад

For the OP-1, he was talking about automating the patch change recall (Prg Change) via USB during a live set, and that it didn't matter because the device was hands-on enough that he can do that live manually. [calmly uses words actually spoken in the video]

@michael_harren 10 лет назад

Mind blowing rig. Love the way he uses that four track!

@Lofuckyou 10 лет назад

I just love this NIN lineup. Haven't seen them live in years, hope I can catch them this time around.

@auld_boy 10 лет назад

I love how they embrace and utilise many different mediums and incorporate them into one fluid rig!

@mCKENIC 10 лет назад

Wow! Great coup Sonic State! Fascinating to see Alessandro's rig and he is using bloomin TAPE! Wow! Thank you for this!

@Min0rfr3t 9 лет назад

Man I would love to get the mainstage files from that laptop :P

@dmaifred 2 года назад

Yup 7:15 made me drool.

@ohmrjames 10 лет назад

Great review! This guy is a legend :) Top Job Sonic State !

@setphaser 10 лет назад

A-MAZ-ING! The only thing missing was bits of the live performance to put sound to practice. But seriously, I dig this! More of these please!!!

@2confrontational 8 лет назад

Indiana Drones! that's rather brilliant. killer setup, great piece too - bravo all!

@macronencer 3 года назад

What an amazing rig! Damn, I need to see this band one day. Almost saw them once in London, but unfortunately the gig was cancelled at the last minute due to illness :(

@dcashley303 10 лет назад

Amazing video! Would love more of this kind of thing, really interesting. Would have liked to have heard each of the instruments but never mind.

@1234BLISTEX 9 лет назад

Alessandro Cortini = Synth God

@jerrysherron3553 4 года назад

Good but a long way from synth god ...that would probably be Keith Emerson or Wendy Carlos....they actually had to invent the sounds not sample them from some other source ....big difference ....

@williamhollaway1960 4 года назад

You spelled Charlie Clouser wrong

@SteelAnnelida 10 лет назад

Very cool report, thanks a lot, sonicstate!

@tronlady1 6 лет назад

Well I'll eat my hat! His use of a 4 track casette recorder is like a mellotron is reverse!!!! Love it!!

@dailydoseofbeauty-coaching113 2 года назад

I love Aalto, Indiana Drones ! The coolest man in town Thanks for this awesome presentation 👍❤✌😎💥

@kingtrance6826 6 лет назад

@A_New_Yorker_Lost_In_Florida 8 лет назад

i just passed out from gleeeee. holy crap. i love the fact that its on mainstage .. i use that as an emulator mostly…. and gb at same time as 2 patch pads or modules or whatever . they are both controlled from my homemade key controller … i have the sanford and son synth

@djvartan 10 лет назад

Great interview!

@Bewar3them00n 3 года назад

I’ve just been given a Tascam 4 track, I’m going to experiment with running my prerecorded loops & drones through it, should be fun!

@Pulse2AM 6 лет назад

A lot more organic than I would have thought, that's cool. I thought they just trigger samples of the source material.

@fabiantombers4966 10 лет назад

amazing! thank you!

@MrMallum Год назад

I went to one of those gigs at the O2. It was amazing!!!

@kikkirow 10 лет назад

Wow so much goes into making the live show

@stanz7193 2 года назад

I would love to get some of those loops .... especially for hurt the ones on the multi track tape .

@NbrgamingBlogspot 10 лет назад

awesome video !

@NayveeMan 7 лет назад

Wow. That was ridiculously good!

@benthies9531 5 лет назад

I love that he knows the names of the people he gets his modules from. Great dude.

@SamAndrew27 9 лет назад

The use of the loops on the cassette tape is fucking BRILLIANT!!

@officialloner88 10 лет назад

That was awesome! I was wondering what he was using the cassette player for.

@rustyvst 10 лет назад

Allessandro, Glad to see you doing well. Coffee next time you are in LA

@Khalit666 10 лет назад

Very good stuff!

@Psztyk236 10 лет назад

This is amazing.

@JoshCastleTCM 10 лет назад

Damn that's confusing, the tape thing is brilliant, love how he mixes it all. Really impressed!

@fernandomonreal4682 9 лет назад

he has a great ear he play almost all without the need of synchronization stuff

@thomasstillman4805 3 года назад

He Pre-records the sound samples on the entire length of the 4 track cassette tapes, and then labels them individually, instead of using a looper cassette tape. That's how I have always done it too👍

@thomaskenneally219 6 лет назад

8:54 with the VATICAN SHADOW shirt fuck yeah.

@Iterationanddiscord 9 лет назад

A great model of how to sound amazing!

@mattordiway1955 9 лет назад

There's always more room to go down the rabbit hole.

@darkalman Год назад

Meanwhile Chris Vrenna was talking about how in the early days he'd play drums, do triggers, and set the drum machines live without a click Then would thread tape on a wheel-to-wheel machine between songs

@jackbroughan1682 10 лет назад

Loving the Vatican Shadow shirt.

@Utubesuxmycock 9 лет назад

keep hearing about this guy and NIN, since im a Virus user so here i am...hmmm bewildered

@tip36c 10 лет назад

Indiana Drones! Plus maxing out MainStage is classic.

@noelbreitenbach8673 Год назад

This is an awesome interview. I was worrying about his splooshing and splashing cup of coffee around those nice instruments tho

@richardelam3371 4 года назад

you just gave me a renewed use for my Tascam 4 track.....thanks you

@RC_Cola2020 5 лет назад

This is so cool!!!

@thomasstillman4805 4 года назад

I use the Tascam 4;track. Been usind it for decades. What's old is new again?

@takashikashiwase3461 8 лет назад

thx

@joopjunior 10 лет назад

great video cool guy thank you!

@Psychlist1972 10 лет назад

Impressed that he performs with modular on stage. Risky, and hard to do any patch changes. Nice that he uses stored voltages and a roadie to handle tuning. Very cool.

@infinaneek 8 лет назад

Wicked! Could've De-noised the audio though!

@lifeanddecay 7 лет назад

love the RO ramones ;)

@user-pv2fl4py3n Год назад

@PutItAway101 6 лет назад

Takes a certain amount of balls and dedication to take a modular on the road!

@NoyzyBoyZ3 10 лет назад

I'm just a dime a dozen guitar player but,I loved this! I think I'll switch to keys!!

@jerrysherron3553 4 года назад

Not really what is called a keyboard player ...check out Keith Emerson. Rick Wakeman

@andrewcoates4952 7 лет назад

As a simple Bass into pedals into amp guy, this blew my tiny mind. Dead interesting though

@whaleheadcoda 3 года назад

What a rig!

@tlatsegms 4 года назад

@BAMusicPlymouth 10 лет назад

Analogue modular ambient heaven! Node will play live at the Royal College of Music in London on Feb 27th 2015. Full modular rig! Tickets from the RCM box office. Spread the word! www.rcm.ac.uk/events/listings/details/?id=549161

Is there a nine inch nails guitar rig run down?

@dogma6713 2 года назад

What album was they on tour for??? I hope Trent never gets rid of him

@brianwarner308 10 лет назад

yes!! awesome

@decassemblymi 9 лет назад

Crazy that this is all just the synth player's job. There's still 4-5 other people who do just as much (depending on the tour)

@gloverelaxis 10 лет назад

This is really interesting and educational! Sonic State udabes

@lairdriver 4 года назад

I bought a broken modular synth and fixed it for $200. It's not that big, size of a large tablet. I love using it, at first it feels like you are an old switchboard operator. Thing is you have to go old school and make patch cards on mine because mine doesn't have a memory bank.
