IDOW Extended Interview #10: Trent Reznor & Alessandro Cortini, NIN

IDOW Extended Interview #10: Trent Reznor & Alessandro Cortini, Nine Inch Nails from I Dream Of Wires on Vimeo.

"I DREAM OF WIRES is an independent documentary exploring the history, demise and resurgence of the ultimate electronic music machine, the MODULAR SYNTHESIZER. A special edition, 4-hour extended cut is available to order now on DVD and BluRay from http://idreamofwires.org. The feature-length, theatrical cut is set to premiere spring 2014.

-- IDOW Extended Interview #10: Trent Reznor & Alessandro Cortini, Nine Inch Nails --

In January 2012, the I Dream of Wires team visited the Hollywood studio of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, for a joint interview with fellow NIN member, Alessandro Cortini. Through his continued interest and adoption of cutting-edge electronic instrumentation, Reznor's been witness to the evolution of the synthesizer, from the giant unobtainium of '70s modulars, to the digital "how's the piano sound?" ROMplers of the '80s, right through to the current dominance of computer-based plug-in synthesizers. In our interview, Reznor expresses his enthusiasm for the recent wave of boutique modular synthesizer manufacturers, for having "brought a lot of that magic back into the synth world, that got lost in the Korgs and the Yamahas and the Rolands…." Additionally, Reznor and Cortini offer insight into the influence of an instrument's physical presence, and how for both of them, the process of interacting with hardware plays a crucial role in the resulting sound.

"We are delighted to announce a permanent loan from UNC-Greensboro that includes a variety of synthesizers and other vintage instruments and equipment, including four legendary modulars: a custom built Moog Modular from R.A. Moog, Co., two ARP 2600s, and an Aries 300.

Due to the historical significance of this gift, we asked music technology journalist Geary Yelton to write a guest blog for us exploring some of the very early history behind the instruments.

Read more here about these fascinating synthesizers, and the man who bought or created them for the university in the early days of modular synthesis."

"Historian Thom Holmes provides another excellent installment in his series 'A History of Moog Modular in Recordings'.

This month he's having a bit of fun providing some fascinating insight with facts and figures surrounding the evolution of the Moog Modular's use from 1967-1970.

From The Beatles to Hendrix, from Beaver and Krause to Lamont Young, from Switched-on Bach to The Trip, a lot of information you may have never known is revealed in this data-based portrayal."
