Alessandro Cortini - SCURO CHIARO (2021) Hi Res

Mute are delighted to announce the release of Alessandro Cortini’s new album SCURO CHIARO. Alessandro Cortini is an Italian multi-instrumentalist, analog synth aficionado, and a member of Nine Inch Nails. SCURO CHIARO, which translates as ‘dark light’ in Italian, shares musical themes with Cortini’s highly acclaimed previous solo LP, VOLUME MASSIMO. The artwork, shot by Emilie Elizabeth, is an extension of the thematic bridge between the two works. The album’s title, SCURO CHIARO, plays on the term for heavily contrasting light and shadow in painting and other visual arts. SCURO CHIARO follows the 2020 release of Illusion Of Time, Cortini’s collaborative full-length with UK techno specialist and Mute label-mate Daniel Avery.
