Though known as a touring and recording musician associated with Nine Inch Nails, Alessandro Cortini has really come into his own via his Forse trilogy, and his 2014 Hospital Productions debut, Sonno. For his Hospital follow-up, he maintains the grittiness and intimacy introduced on his debut, but expands upon it, offering a wider spectrum of emotion and depth. Cortini carves out a similar space to what Kevin Drumm’s Hospital releases have done for the worlds of Drone and Noise by finding the emotional and ultimately human voice within synthesis.
Thomas Dimuzio is a musician, composer, improviser, sound designer, mastering engineer, label proprietor and music technologist residing in San Francisco. Inspired as much by John Cage as Led Zeppelin, Dimuzio’s music is like a sonic excursion that transports the listener into other worldly aural realms. “His work has a narrative, filmic tug that will draw you into its dark corners, ears alert… brilliant and rarely less than entertaining” (Peter Marsh, BBC).
For the past 16 years, the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival (SFEMF) has brought internationally acclaimed musicians to the Bay Area, becoming the premiere festival dedicated to the genre. From September 10–13, SFEMF will present artists working with analog synthesizers, home-brewed electronics, laptop-generated sound, processed live acoustic instruments, amplified found objects, projected video, improvisation, and performance art. The San Francisco Electronic Music Festival is an artist-run organization presenting works that span the sonic spectra by participants ranging from emerging artists to respected pioneers of the field.
