Text from the revolvermag: " The Nine Inch Nails leader steps into the hallway and crouches down to show off the Apprehension Engine, an unruly, all-angles nightmare simulator co-created by Mark Korven, composer of the score for the claustrophobic arthouse-horror film The Lighthouse — retail price, $10,000. The wooden monstrosity looks like H.P. Lovecraft designed a steampunk's double-necked guitar. Reznor puts on his glasses and shows off its various cranks, rulers, springs, strings and coils.
"You can bow these things." Boiiiiiing. "There's no right or wrong way to use it." Slapapapapapap. Eeeeeeeee. "And they tell you when you get it, it really requires you learning how to play it and figure it out. It pissed us off 'cause when we got it ... it sounds shitty. I'm not instantly good at it."
" The Apprehension Engine lives in Reznor's new studio space, its surfaces lined with various noisy electronic doodads that you brush or bow or touch or chomp with banana clips. Though there's no shortage of traditional synthesizers, Reznor and longtime musical co-conspirator Atticus Ross often use bespoke, small-run noisemakers, glitchers and squawkers from boutique companies and independent designers. There's the "fairly unplayable" Swarmatron (used to help create their score to 2010's The Social Network), the weed-like Luminist Garden (used for rhythms on 2014's Gone Girl) and the teeny touchpads of the Organismic Synthesizer from Moscow's SOMA Laboratory (it didn't come with a manual, so Reznor pulls out printouts of text messages from the lab's founder)."
In a 2022 interview with Synth History, Trent Reznor confirmed his use of a Moog Modular III-C reissue, stating, "Right now what I don't let leave the studio, I invested in a reissue Moog IIIc. A couple years earlier I got the Model 15 reissue, so I wanted to kind of expand it and see it with an older Moog oscillator approach. And that I find fun." This highlights his commitment to incorporating this specific modular synthesizer into his music production setup.
