Ultima 2026 / Alessandro Cortini · Heiða Mobeck / Nati Infiniti

About

A core member of Nine Inch Nails and the first Italian artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Alessandro Cortini comes to Ultima for the first time, with an audiovisual solo set.

Dark and strangely consoling, the world of Alessandro Cortini unfolds slowly. His melodies move through a sci-fi dusk – dusty, enveloping layers of tone and noise. Within long breathing gestures, tension dissolves, emotions settle, and inner horizons shift. This is sound as shelter, never dull, because with every tremor something stirs beneath the surface.

As part of Ultima at Rockefeller, Cortini enters the sonic and visual universe of Nati Infiniti, about the infinite life of minerals.
