  • The final part of Alessandro Cortini's Forse album trilogy will see release on Important Records this month. Cortini might be best known for his work as part of Nine Inch Nails and How To Destroy Angels, but he's been a busy solo producer as well, having worked under his own name along with the monikers Sonoio and Blindoldfreak. Last year the Italian experimentalist hooked up with Dominick Fernow's Hospital Productions to put out a well-received album of hazy, droning ambient music called Sonno, and just in the last couple months, he debuted a pair of new aliases with records focused on leftfield techno sounds: Skarn, which surfaced through Avian, and Slumberman, with an EP for Bunker Records sublabel Panzerkreuz. Forse 3 completes a trilogy that started with two albums back in 2013 on Important Records. The trio of individually distinct double-LP releases were all sourced from the same month-long span of recording sessions, and produced live using Cortini's rare Buchla Music Easel. (This is in contrast to the Sonno LP, which was made with a Roland MC 202 and delay pedal.) A tracklist hasn't been revealed yet—for now, you can get a close-up look of how Cortini works with his Buchla with this video clip from early 2013.
    Important Records will release Forse 3 on January 20th, 2015.
