Newclear Waves is the solo project of Alessandro Adriani, founder of Mannequin Records. Emerging in the late 2000s, Adriani transitioned from dark ambient and experimental sounds to a more structured electronic approach, heavily influenced by 1970s and 1980s Italian thriller and horror film scores, as well as directors like Lynch, Carpenter, and Cronenberg. His music blends analog synthesizers and drum machines to craft a distinctive minimal synth and cold wave aesthetic. Notable releases include the self-titled album "Newclear Waves" and the "Newclear Waves / Opus Finis Split." Adriani's work has been featured on Mannequin Records, contributing significantly to the label's reputation for reviving and promoting cold wave and minimal synth music.
