Alessandro Cortini - CHIAROSCURO (Official Video)

[@Danny_MacAskill]

Unbelievably good!! I’ve listened to this track on top of many a Scottish mountain on my bike this passed year. Really doesn’t get any better! Thank you!

[@AlessandroCortini]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Sim-ig9zm]

Haha.... I've been doing the same as I drive back towards those mountains...never expected to see you here saying something even vaguely similar Danny. Huge fan of you both, thanks for this piece Alessandro 🤙

[@keripeters1110]

You just brought me here Danny Mac!!

[@Jobby1975]

Hopefully be doing that in Sutherland over Christmas/New Year. Once I get out of quarantine...

[@francoismaletras554]

So so curious to know what else is on Danny's playlist.

[@borges69]

For my beloved cat Roka. The music I listened to while burying here. 💜💜💜. I've listened to it many times before and felt amazing emotions every time. But now it's gotten a lot more intense. excellent music

[@Fizbun]

It's a real SCORCHER in here

[@kkndcf]

I think I can comfortably say that ambient is my most listened genre nowadays. And this is God tier ambient music. Absolutely stunning.

[@teresamiragandini8781]

I'm walking in the Artic desert before dawn, after losing everything. Something silent pierce my Heart like an unfolding flower, and make me feel like i can fully love again. Chiaroscuro è meraviglioso..

[@BrtNdR73]

I m traveling from Rome to Milan with your soundtrack.... The sun is dimming out , the sky Is bluish dirty site. I fill rejected into the 80ties in my childhood when i'm used to waste Time enjoiyng the truth of life. Thank you for this weird sensation

[@fisle]

Beautiful piece. Would love to see a film scored by AC.

[@giorgi_ungiadze]

Every time when I'm listening to Alessandro's music, I am more and more convinced that music is one of the sources that makes me happy.

[@johnriperti3127]

now I can die peacefully, I've seen and heard the most exquisite beauty on earth

[@rihaa13]

You can tell by reading the comments, some of the best people on Earth are here together to enjoy the beauty of this piece.

[@laconspiraciondelsonido]

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@nathanielball365]

YES!!! MY PEOPLE'S!!! MYYY PEOPLESS!!!!! I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!!

[@agerven]

Really, really beautiful. Grand how an apparently simple but beautiful monophonic line slowly gets spliced up into multi layers of notes with different pitch and timbres. The video giving a visual parallel impression. Pure craftsmanship. What i don't understand however, is why any ambient piece on youtube these days should end, or be completely filled, with bitcrushing and granularity. Ok, these can have their charm, but should not be mandatory in every composition.

[@giorgiomartinico3774]

CAPOLAVORO!!! Complimenti sinceri!!!.Ringrazio Enrico Silvestrin per la segnalazione!!!

[@EIIi0tt]

Discovered this on Spotify and it’s my go to song when I read through the Dune novels! It fills you with such a sense of awe and wonder but also an oppressive feeling. Ironic that the music video also has echoes of Dune’s style in it!

[@ElendorDarkfall]

Why is not on Spotify anymore though?

[@electricdawn2258]

I'm three years late to tell you that your music is fascinating, captivating and... I don't know what else to say... disturbing, but in a good way. Absolutely loving it. Gracie.

[@dawlessstrolling5306]

Mister Cortini, always thank you for your magic in sound. My dayjob gives me stability, but composing electronic music gives me fuel. You music reminds me to (re)ignite this passion on and on. Keep creating!

[@nangelo0]

My little son was in reanimation when I first time listen this track. I was worried about his life. How will life turn out if he is gone. I was thinking about how I would meet him again, but in a different world. it's scary. Every time I listen to this track, I cry.

[@degrader81]

the italian excellence. When a song touch your heart!

[@mirarstudios]

its so bittersweet its painful, but so beautiful too.........

[@chabeloesdios]

alessandro, i wish i can have the opportunity one day to meet you and shake your hand in appreciation for your wonderful music. it takes me to places i don't go to too often.

[@feloniousbutterfly]

He's a sweetie pie, it'll make your year.

[@ev446]

I sure hope he releases more music someday. There is nothing quite like this. Sure there is a lot of synth music out there. But this is so unique through Cortini's lens that it is unparalleled. Avanti was well worth the money I spent on finding the vinyl. Tanto amore

[@sixsik6]

I've come back to this track after a while having not listened to it. Still unbelievably good. Thank you for this 💙

[@SgtZook]

this will forever remind me of the time in my life that I first heard this. absolutely enchanting

[@jaxe9319]

Sad that it's no longer available on spotify, love this one

[@septillionsuns]

Your ability to grow a piece is unrivaled. I would love to see you do a collaboration with the godfather of ambient synth, Don Murcof.

[@TheMocheluzzo]

Grazie Alessandro, un giorno spero di poter essere un musicista come te.. in grado di creare una rete, di connettere le persone con la propria musica. la tua arte è come i commenti sotto a questo video, come una coperta calda che avvolge stretta e ti fa sentire nel posto giusto, al momento giusto. Energia di cui vivere in eterno. Un abbraccio

[@gianniteleskaofficialuk]

se e riuscito a fare questa Musica lo si deve solo al fatto di essersi trasferito in Usa e una volta li ha trovato i mezzi per farla....e grazie anche al suo gruppo famosissimo in tutto il mondo.......altrimenti avrebbe venduto cocomeri per tutta la vita a Bologna

[@jakubmico8727]

I did sit on rings of Saturn once, I followed celestial shadowplay of its atmosphere and Moons. This wonderful piece of art takes me back there. Bravo, Alessandro. Thank you.

[@elesan_cc]

This song reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend not long ago. "We're all gonna die someday." "Don't say something like that." "Well it's true." "It is but.." And then one guy who has been quiet for a while, suddenly said: "Don't you think that's romantic? The idea that death is inevitable and we have such a short time to explore, embrace, be sad, be happy, inhale, exhale. And after that, it's all just mystery. I think that's beautiful."

[@neuzethmusic131]

Great comment!

[@valeramacankin1097]

@@neuzethmusic131 Первые 5 строк очень передают это ощущение от этой музыки. Безупречно сказал. Брава)

[@thevoid99]

and this is why ally is in the rock n' roll hall of fame because of his talents and trent always acknowledged that.

[@theAristocrap]

Alessandro - I am happy for you that you found work at NIN so that you can continue to create your ambient and atmospheric music that is truly beautiful without the worry to make it commercially viable.

[@Manisora]

Thank you again, Alessandro, for leading us into this uncharted territory. It's necessary to get lost once in a while.

[@deftdelivery]

You are a bright light, Alessandro!

[@PD2KC]

Can't wait for the new album. Sonoio, blindoldfreak, modwheel. Everything you do is amazing. Loved seeing you live with Trent on your NIN tours. You are one of my favorite musicians ever 💜

[@tonyrolando5385]

My whole body is rippling with chills. Incredible experience watching this.

[@markiyankamysh9929]

So few views. Why? This is amazing music. It's like Brian Eno in the 21st century with pandemic motives of the empty squares of Rome. Thank you.

[@mirarstudios]

the best artists of our time remain ignored

[@CatFish107]

I walked in the snow, up on the local mountain yesterday, listening to volume massimo on headphones, while a cloud gradually enveloped everything, and snow began to fall. Perfect soundscape for the environs.

[@ghislaindidier9394]

Same here but with Risveglio. Incredible experience.

[@jnks14]

One of the most beautiful things I had the pleasure to listen to in 2021, still listening to it and for sure will be. Thanks Alessandro.

[@enricoSFK]

Semplicemente magnifico, un volo! Spero presto in un LIVE

[@inwards6849]

Ci sono pochissime persone che puoi conoscere bene anche se ascolti solo la loro musica senza averle mai incontrate. Tu sei una di queste. Grazie.

[@chrisdawson1352]

Like a warm hug for the heavy hearted. Beautiful Work.

[@synthanatomy]

lovely, already on a sonic trip in the first 30 seconds :) the video fits perfectly to the mood of the song

Another beautiful piece of work Alessandro.

[@ale_star_7755]

Questo brano è Arte pura...Fantastico!

[@chrisnunley114]

I immediately envisioned the ending of 'Heat' to this track... bravo, good sir.

[@wolfenstien13]

There is something very divine, almost Godly, about your style of music. I guess sentimental.

[@itsjohng_]

I come back to this at least once a year. What a meditation. Beauty beyond words.

[@derelicts9503]

Alessandro, your music provokes thoughts and emotions I've never before contemplated, never before felt, and for that I can only thank you and listen in awe.

Wow, ALESSANDRO! This is absolutely a beautiful piece of work!

Sounds like our earth crying.

[@mrewanmorrison]

So Epic and beautiful. If I could sit in an outdoor cinema in a ruined Greek amphitheatre in the mountains and listen to this track while watching these images - I could die happy.

[@XNancyxBoyX]

For some reason, this piece makes me think of the film "Silent Running", I imagine one last dome floating out into space. Endless, courseless, "insignificant", but as powerful and important as anything there ever was, or will be. Out there, somewhere... I feel like this album is one of, if not your best work to date, Mr. Cortini. It is heart wrenchingly beautiful.
