Alessandro Cortini In The Studio Part 2

[@raytheonorion]

"You guys should stay forever! I have no one here..." best line ever!

[@michaelkonomos]

I have rewatched these videos a stupid amount of times. Whenever I need creative inspiration. Hearing him talk about his process is just fantastic.

[@eyesintheskies]

I’m only on my 2nd but I understand fully!

[@douro20]

The 700 has four processors: a 6303 microcontroller which provides input processing, two DSPs and a 68000 which runs the operating system. D.N. Crowe, who for a decade was Buchla's system engineer, released the full C source code for the Buchla 700's operating system, which he said he wrote on an Atari ST.

[@andymorphic67]

it is so nice to see someone living the dream in such a positive way.

[@geomackisback]

You know you're on the correct channel when listening to a broken noise oscillator and Nick says, "WoW, it sounds great"

[@thewakz]

Hope this is part 2 of 50. =)

[@FreeThink1984]

Based

[@EarmonkeyMusic]

I'd have stayed forever.....just sayin'..... anyway.... These two videos are some of the best stuff ever. Thanks Nick! And thanks Alessandro for letting us see this glimpse into your work. Truly awesome.

[@mattsynth]

Fantastic tour of the studio, one of the best I have seen on Sonicstate. Thanks for the post.

[@LarsBjerregaard]

Wow, that Buchla 700 sounds amazing!

[@hadrianmyers]

The David Lynch broken noise steam pad was hilarious. I don't think I've ever heard an Eraserhead joke on a synth before, but it makes sense it'd be on a Buchla.

[@chasesound]

This was great. Felt like we were just hanging out chatting with him about all of this great gear. It was gracious of him to take the time to show all of this stuff!

[@brubecktime]

Great material. Congratulations to everyone involved. It is a pleasure to see someone so passionate and talented as Alessandro showing these "to me" rare devices and more importantly sharing and talking openly about workflows and techniques. Funny how confident talented artists can share on this way, instead of guarding tricks of the trade and holding back as it is usually seen in the audio community. It says a lot not only on a professional but on a personal level. Big ups and keep them coming!

[@kassie2k4]

that 700 is pretty crazy, i really like the controller interface for it, it seems like just by it's odd design it lends itself to producing very unique things

[@LeighKemp]

What an amazing studio and such a nice guy as well.

[@rodolfolarrea8493]

excepcional interview ... Cortini is such a genius and also nice person ... congratulation for take the time to make this piece of art

[@tehnik333]

Very interesting insight! He is some of those people that can teach you important things about creativity and being an artist trough just small things like creating broken noise in an old analog synth. Magnificent!

[@deejaydubla]

Alessandro Cortini seems like such an affable bloke.

[@sunilsolanki]

What a great guy. Thanks to Nick and Sonicstate for this. Loved every moment. More in studio tours please. And that 700 was just lush.

[@illustriouschin]

Buchla 700 sounds mind blowing.

[@mCKENIC]

what a very friendly, knowledgeable and inspiring man! Thank you for the series Sonic State!

[@ADrowning]

So good! Great questions and answers. I could watch this for hours.

[@liverawkstar]

best ever from Sonic State, Im seeing Alessandro tonight at The Complex in Los Angeles - - he is amazing, I didsmissed him previously, sadly, but my opinion now is that I think he has a very amazing and private relationship with his own soul as a sound alchemist *Brilliant, Thanks you for doing this Sonic State*

[@anaspacechickjones964]

Wow! I thought there was no one out there like me who loves to bend sound as much as I do! Would love to spend hours upon hours at his place playing with his toys and creating unique sounds! Thnx for posting!

[@basverhage]

This was such an enjoyable interview, thank you so much!

[@a2zmusictvuk]

Wonderful stuff : ) Thanks again to Alessandro & Nick for sharing. Hopefully there's enough footage for a part 3.... Buchla 400 maybe or anything else in the studio actually. Excellent!

[@riccardoantolinipil]

Thanks you so much for this, Alessandro seems like a lovely down to earth guy, I like so much that he leaves things as they come, mistakes and all, very little editing and the one machine approach. Big ups

[@MargaretHarmer]

Absolutely Fab interview!

[@tracknmix]

Nick and Alessandro rocking it 100%. Wow.

[@blancodisco]

thoroughly enjoyed this series.

[@Chevytravelleruk]

Brilliant stuff from nick and the team... great and truly inspiring interview

[@jizzmaster2000]

What a totaly inspiring video. Thanks nick and the sonic team.And of course Allesandro.

[@neuzethmusic131]

That Buchla 700 sounds like my wet dream for my ambient project. Mindblowing!

[@AndyChannelle]

If you have an iPad, there is a new emulation of this called ID700. Looks and sounds lovely.

[@SlowCarToChina]

Holy CRAP did you hear the Buchla 700?????

[@minaeminae8372]

Thanks for the very good video! Fantastic.

[@leesparey]

What a lovely guy. Great piece

[@ImplosiveCatt]

I wish more interviews with Cortini. Can you do it? Thanks.

[@sonicstate]

good idea!

[@nsjx]

Nick I thank you for what you do. This interview and this particular video gave me insight on just what kind of artist we're dealing with here. I don't know the AC years of NIN so I don't know him from there either but your insightful interview series here has sparked my interest in him and some of these featured instruments. Cheers!

[@Projeckt]

Such a cool guy! and great interview, just letting him mess around, it's fascinating to watch.

[@Psychlist1972]

That Buchla sounded pretty awesome, and looks even better. That LCD screen on it must have cost a FORTUNE at the time.

[@richardstevens8839]

Pete Brown (Avon) Would you say that Buchla is the Gold standard for Modular or Moog? I hope to have a Music Easel eventually.

[@Psychlist1972]

Richard Stevens Two different schools there. Hard to pick just one, and it becomes an almost religious argument. I really like this device, but overall, I prefer Moog. Buchla is some wild stuff, though. I wouldn't turn it away if it showed up at my door. :)

[@fernandomonreal4682]

+Pete Brown I prefer Buchla for the creativity, he is a step above moog IMO

[@tcellen2136]

absolutely loved it...thanks

[@jackspetznaz5341]

amazing stuff reminds me of why i love reason 5 s rack animation

[@TsuraniTsurani]

Brilliant. Loved this and part 1

[@atommachine]

Fascinating

[@TheRealTakumaji]

Amazing studio tour. The more I see from Alessandro, the more I like him, he's refreshingly open-minded and you can feel the enthusiasm in his eyes and words. The Buchla 700 is one of my holy grails, I'll probably never own one, though. Great machine with lots of unusual options, it's cryptic but in a good way. Satanic FM vibes ftw! ^^

[@mattroche]

Fantastic tour, and Cortini says really interesting stuff! Lucky you, Sonic State people! :)

[@rolandgerard6064]

Great Vid, i wonder what the learning curve is for all these hardware...

[@paulkendall4593]

lovely stuff

[@anniesamuel4787]

Just used this as a teaching tool with my student to help her understand counting and playing music in 5 beats per bar.

[@runningin533]

Brilliant The Synth Cave part 2

[@josephmeadows3336]

Can this be a weekly show please? Just seeing what he's up to checking out new gear Ect...

[@MrDschiesus]

Alessandro is one of god's very own prototypes. just lovely :)

[@teezdalien]

Great to see the 700 in action too, rare as rockin' horse shit!

[@annother3350]

But a lot more pleasant

[@koenraadfoesters]

Damn, thank you for this stuff.

[@olecranonrebellion9976]

The 700 sounds so good.

[@FriendsWithMonsters]

+1 for Dr. Leary's Buchla. "Wash your hands or lick your fingers."

[@vaniarouleau968]

Can't believe I didn't see this before!

[@massivenoone]

Please invite him on a sonic talk, topic about old modular gear

[@AnalogNoiseLab]

Wow, this was good. Thanks. He should get a PPG Wave

[@liverawkstar]

5:00 this guy blows my mind, Im far more interested in guys like this than people like the yay-hoo's on sonic talk: ive watched this 10X already, I missed this bit: "I tend to bake them"

[@theeltea]

Guys like Cortini are busy actually making music than talking about gear and stuff. :)

[@videosuperhighway7655]

Lol his talk about the noise module just killed me lolol so funny.

[@clearviewmind]

7.15....beautiful sounds

[@xetuseer]

hope you can have him on sonictalk sometime!

[@philbarbone7596]

i will stay forever, alessandro!

[@monmouth115]

@ 15:20 - hypnotizing/inspiring sound

[@andersingram]

What an absolute gent

[@alanbray3530]

i changed my pants after this, not going to lie

[@thehowlingterror]

Great vid

[@Wulfcry]

Love it Like it Stored it.

[@Slacquerr]

What tracks does RDJ use the Buchla 700 on?

[@CalvinMagnusMusic]

Anyone else got the BladeRunner vibes when the Buchla 700 started singing?

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

Can one own a modular and still have a social life?

[@brookhaven0000]

friendofCHAKA I don't really think so :D

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

Maybe someone will open a synthesizer Bar and Grill where people can drink beer and noodle synthesizers.

[@flyvernon7]

friendofCHAKA good idea...lets call it "rough patch ".....

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

haha good one!

[@fernandomonreal4682]

+friendofCHAKA NO!! and i really prefer to be get into modulars and forget social life

[@85razorhoof]

Please tell me there will be more parts to this series

[@jizzmaster2000]

85razorhoof Yes, please post all of your video footage.

[@infinaneek]

Wow that Buchla 700!!!

[@DieMasterMonkey]

05:00 technician shows up, hears this - "wtf did you do to my synth?!" :)

[@Llink4n]

Buchla 700 is very impressive

[@catoffline]

ok, now i want modular

[@mrdavrosjipo]

no part 3 then shame was fuckin ace

[@sonicstate]

Who said no part three?

[@SuperCD93]

sonicstate Is part 3 a performance from Frank?

[@philbarbone7596]

wash your fingers, don't lick em - brilliant! hahaha

[@clearviewmind]

He needs to do film scores too - he'd be excellent

[@HTRism]

It’s just me or 85% of the jokes and ice breakers cortini says just goes through the gentleman’s head?

[@vinylarchaeologist]

The „gentleman” is Nick Batt, in his own right a legend of the synth world. I see where you‘re coming from but I guess it‘s just Nick‘s very dry British way.

[@Mint-bt6wt]

Too damn cool...

[@lovelydonkey]

Nice man

[@devondetroit2529]

A buchla 700 ?!!

[@Len_M.]

What monitors are those?

[@videosuperhighway7655]

Len M. Barefoot monitors.

[@t3l3phasicworksh0p]

Buchla 700 - imagine it as the ultimate iPad App!

[@thegreaterconundrum]

me sitting here looking for anything in my price range like 🔎

[@eduardoUDL]

*click* panning 1:45

[@AlessandroCortini]

no. nope. just me making noises with my mouth.

[@tolikfilter]

i'm fucking drooling

[@TherapyHiccup]

love it =]

[@maxcohen13]

WANT.

[@skyreadersociety6183]

you have to have a certain ear to enjoy that broken buchla noise. Would be interesting to record it to reel and slow it down 2 or 3 octaves.

[@PWMaarten]

3:43 ...I care because you do

[@temporoboto]

Fire up the Buchla!

[@lilskullymane4057]

here's the 700 album he recommended - zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/album/chimeror

[@vaniarouleau968]

💋💋💋💋💋💋😘

[@nephildevil]

lol Galaxian was way before Amiga 😝

[@WARDISWARD]

15:45 Allessandro ..please fuck me with your music :)

[@clearviewmind]

The other guy is so much like Daniel Miller

[@ZElTGElST]

I didn´t relly gelled with lessndro's sounds, I would love to have left Nick noodling the buchla. Come on, let Nick drive the machine!!

[@stonail665]

Alessandro, adopt me please .I'm an EE, I promise I'll make unique analog stuff for you daily.
