my first explorations in the world of modular synthesizers. I purchased a used Analogue Systems RS system, off a swedish sale ad.
Three rows of modules.
This came into my life at a time when I was teaching music technology at a local school, using computers pretty much non stop for 40 hours a week.
Needless to say, it became harder to feel creative on a computer at night, once i’d come home to my own music.
This first modular synthesizer became a sonic playground and rekindled my passion for exploring and making sound, without thinking too much about it while immensely enjoying the process and feeling recharged by it.
About a year later, owning this modular became a good topic of conversation with Trent Reznor, right after my audition for NIN. I like to believe that it worked in my favor…

“Movimento: a collection of some of my favorite live improvisations based on electronic sequences I created throughout the years. Most of these were created on single instruments, and recorded in one take, while exploring the machines to see what I could get out of them…arguably my favorite part of what I do, and the one I cherish the most.”

Having become mutual admirers of each others work; English of Cortini’s Sonno and Cortini of English’s Wilderness Of Mirrors, the pair were very pleased to receive an invitation to collaborate together.
Following a number of months exchanging compositional ideas and materials, Cortini and English met in Berlin several days ahead of the festival and commenced an intense period of rehearsal and arrangement. The resulting piece, Immediate Horizon, traces their shared interests in harmony and texture. It is a work that meditates on saturation and the ruptures that occur when harmonic elements are stacked. Immediate Horizon’s five pieces swell and burst in a perpetual sense of pulse.
This LP is a live recording, made at the premiere of the piece during Berlin Atonal, held at Kraftwerk in Berlin.
