Forse, meaning \"maybe\" In Italian, is a series of 3 double LP releases Cortini recorded for Important to release in 2013. \"All pieces were written and performed live on a Buchla Music Easel, in the span of one month. I found that the limited array of modules that the instrument offers sparked my creativity. Most pieces consist of a repeating chord progression, where the real change happens at a spectral\/dynamic level, as opposed to the harmonic\/chordal one. I believe that the former are just as effective as the latter, in the sense that the sonic presentation (distortion, filtering, wave shaping, etc.) are just as expressive as a chord change or chord type, and often reinforce said chord progressions. \"Of all the years with Nine Inch Nails the period spent writing and recording the instrumental record Ghosts I-IV is probably the one which changed my approach to music making the most. After that record I started getting more into instrumental composition, although I tried to approach it in a different way. While we had a vast array of tools and instruments at our disposal then, I decided to approach my pieces limiting myself to one instrument only, as I found myself being more decisive when faced with a limited creative environment.\" ~ Alessandro Cortini\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Important","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":53548328452427,"sku":"R7439-8973","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/getImage_12.jpg?v=1759836976","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/forse-volume-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
