Suzanne Ciani - Live Performance at P2 Art's Birthday Party in Stockholm, Sweden

Performed 27 January 2017 in Stockholm, Sweden. Originally in quadraphonic spatial sound.

[@Letzal]

22:58 "Keep those lights out! I'm not a DJ!"

[@vincentlajoie1664]

That was a frenetic response from an excited light tech

[@vincentlajoie1664]

... keep your pills at home if you do a gig..

[@DeepAmbientDrone]

That Poor woman. With so many flashes of light, you can't even see the wires and knobs.

[@alexendrix6]

Buchla analogico it still a Top Synth best qualità you can find, and she know how to use it.

[@vakula5500]

Suzanne always has a special music ideas + she's most beautiful and gentle lady i've ever seen. Angelic voice. Kowtow.

[@mpingo91]

I also love her voice. Did she ever try singing? ;)

[@lle2829]

Don't ever ask her that. She'll punch you in the nose. She couldn't get a record deal when starting out because all the old, cigar chomping record execs are like, "So you don't sing? But... but.. you're a pretty girl, surely you must be the singer!"

[@calebclunie4001]

She's the voice, and composer, of the pinball machine, "Xenon". She doesn't sing, but it's very moving...talking, and reaction moans.

[@evandelgadillo]

At first I thought the title said P22. I'm like damn! The mountain lion was having bday parties, with live performances?? I know he was a celebrity but sheesh! RIP P22, we miss you so much. And Suzanne Ciani is AMAZING!

[@lightbright1113]

She is the grand countess of the modular artform. I am so happy that she is receiving renewed acclaim in this exciting era of modular synthesis. Am I alone in marveling at the explosion of new mod units and tools being produced in the last decade? It is wonderful to see so many "cottage" industries gaining foothold in this field. Which of course reciprocates with the expanding field of creative people who want to build and compose with modular synthesis. The avenue of the internet to share and immediately communicate musically is a huge catalyst for creativity and we are witnessing the beginning of something that will mutate into untold funky expansion. I know I may sound a bit naive but I just woke up after a long spell of amnesia and remembered that every Woman, Man and Child is a funky Star in Heaven and Earth. We are It and now is the time to decide if we shall make music as our heart yearns to do or lower our expectations and degrade ourselves to slaves doing the work of blind materialists.

[@jumpingeezus5080]

Light Bright Shine on and keep that funk alive!!

[@Anna-ftf88]

I just discovered her while watching a rerun of 3-2-1 Contact where she was a guest. She's truly amazing and gifted.

[@hurricane6014]

Proclamations of vain imaginations.

[@Crawlerz2468]

There's a video here somewhere of her creating pinball sound fx. Hot. Damn.

[@malkomalkavian]

What are stars, if not material?

[@jtb9751]

Cool Suzanne

[@decorumgun]

I love how you can hear someone stocking beers in the background in the beginning. So good. Just discovered her. Amazing.

[@RMKZER]

Very special way to make music, just awesome!

[@FraterSoddi]

Wonderful.

[@BeamDigger]

Have to listen with headphones.

[@tek514]

Magical!

[@spicetbedhead]

It was very nice :)

[@vanelluspierrot]

Mind= Blown! :)

[@ricatro]

Incredible

[@davidramirez591]

Can't wait to see you live at the Don Buchla Memorial Concert in SF!

[@chinchiIIa]

How was it?

[@carbonladder]

Great performance, I would have loved to hear it in quad.

[@fleecefoxes6471]

Fantastic!! Is it possible to find the quadraphonic version? Or does youtube support that?

[@clash_of_cl4n6italia45]

Mia ziaaaa❤️

[@FlockOfHawks]

🙏 Your Aunt is a Wonderful Woman 🌸

[@johnson7483]

🖤🖤🖤

[@___David___Savian]

This is like a party for Aliens from outer space. This is their club !!!!!!! Ciani rocks !!!!!!!!!!!

Great Performance!! One App is the Animoog ... the other?

[@DuncanFoster]

If it's a similar setup to what she was using for her RBMA talk, then it's the app for controlling Eventide H9 pedals.

Thanks :)

[@marshallodom1388]

Reminds me of Willy Wonka driving that train machine. Things might get a little crazy

[@buddyofmine7406]

She should do a show with Aphex Twin's production team

[@murphyjulian7393]

Buddy Ofmine omg that would be the greatest pair!!! I’m ready I think 🤔

[@joaquinserrano732]

Tan viejita y tan alocada

[@Zeibekkikina]

Any time the beat kicks in, just let me know 😅😂

[@oilmaninpowell]

Will this be released in 4 track?

[@geekworthy7938]

Easy enough, just play with wires and knobs.

[@rhiro9064]

25:00

[@FlockOfHawks]

i can only imagine what would happen if She and Hainbach got together for a jam : Aliens from all over the Galaxy would rush in to witness that !

[@LiquidSnake1988]

Are you the one who compose Windows XP?

[@robertsyrett1992]

Really appreciate the birds eye view on the performance. I have been listening to the Buchla concerts on a loop now for several months and it's great to see what a modular performance looks like for you these days. EDIT: OMG, just put my headphones on, the stereo effects are exquisite.

[@christophremmery4520]

Thanks for the headphones tip !

[@annettemarie709]

Robert Syrett Absolutely correct! I came across this by accident. Was looking for Velocity of Love with my ear buds in! Lol

[@shreymaurya8236]

holy fuck just put my headphones in thanks for the heads up

[@bbs1369]

Just imagine the quadrophonic experience of one of her gigs! Hey what is the iPad keyboard app?

[@bbs1369]

Ah just realised - Animoog must try out

[@Horsefeathers6000]

Remember she was on Letterman around 1980, her sound was incredible!

[@EddioPinaR]

I have been in love with Suzanne and her music since the 80´s. she is an amazing musician and one of my heroins. Thank you Suzanne. you have made my life more beautiful...

[@setphaser]

So glad Ciani's been touring and working buchla again, her knowledge is so rich, it's great to have that knowledge shared and documented.

[@lightbright1113]

setphaser I agree! She is certainly one of the masters in this artform and we love her feminine spirit in her compositions and her love is pouring forth.

[@jessemontano6399]

Damn. She is amazing.

[@williamstdog9]

She needs to do something with Marc Rebillet 😂👌👍That would be so epic ☺️

[@valdiskrebs566]

Ha! Love the use of the iPads ... Great performance! Would love to see the Buchla Music Easel on iOS - it would be amazing together with the Animoog.

[@johnb365]

As much as I love synthesisers, and play one myself, I couldn't be doing with all them bloody patch cables. Can't imaging having to take it all down and put back again. Is that cable where it's supposed to be etc. Patch bay on my MS 20 is enough for me, also got a Minilogue and an almost latest ver. Korg Prologue, which is a beast. Recon the MS 20 is my fav, lovely bass tones and more

[@williamstdog9]

This has SUCH an authentic 70’s & 80’s vibe to it it’s extraordinary 👌☺️even the colour & shade of light from the wires on the screen is STRAIGHT out of 1976! I love this so much!!! 👏👏👏 New fan in 🇨🇦

[@pmtoner9852]

2 thumbs up ( that's all the thumbs I have)

[@GrootsieTheDog]

I’ve been using the Animoog for years. It’s a great instrument for making drones on the fly during live performance. Glad to see Ciani giving it some love

[@chitlun]

Cosmo Spacemonkey My absolute favourite iOS synth! Tremendous bit of kit.

[@bobbeede4334]

my heart rate goes up when she's about to yank one

[@peterxyz3541]

"Goddess on the mountain top, Suzanne is her name......" Not quite Bananarama but it's from my heart😂😂😂👍🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. One of the very first CD I bought! (Either Velocity of Love, ELO's Time concept album cause it's sci-fi, or Kimigaru Orange Road sound track-Japanese teen romance comedy story)

I love your modular work. Very creative. Thanks for being such an inspiration to us budding electronic musicians 😀👍

[@niyagentleman8143]

god is not a Dj, GOD is susanne ciani :)

[@leo.nordmann]

Nice one 👌😊

[@TheWorldBelow360]

That guy Tomita is going to think that things aren’t so rosey like a Ramsey tomato after he hears this lady’s sound salad fit for triple lifting hipsters from the New Age Galaxy…

[@tiny2love]

The Sound is So Warm And AnalogishOrganic ...I shore hope We get back to this Again !

[@KnjazNazrath]

Literally just stumbled onto Suzanne from a list someone posted on the comments thread "Lords of Synth" skit talking about electronic artists and having her turn up when I was re-listening to some Kid Baltan for the first time in ages and she came up in the autoplay. Having done a bit of digging since hearing the amazing "Paris 1971" and needing to stop everything I was doing to replay it, I can't imagine why she's not listen by more people, certainly a pioneer and a master of the craft. Gonna stick her on the same level as Carlos straight off the bat. I know when I'm hearing genius.

[@SarahBadr]

so much love for her - brilliant performance

[@jacksprat3009]

Here's a trip you can do with Suzanne's Buchla... you will need to open two more windows on your computer. On one put kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHInayunNuHrJo on the other put kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnWXh2iXrMpghqM fade in and out a you like to create your own atmosphere.

[@sinephase]

modular synths: where the setup takes as long as the performance LOL

[@Acewilder15]

This is what happens when your career of switchboard operator at the telephone company goes extinct.

[@standardaussie]

People pay hard cash for this? Gee where did we go wrong🤔

[@richardhines8622]

I surrender to this notational redundancy, not! Is my position radical?

[@PointyTailofSatan]

FYI: if you remember the pinball machine "Xenon", she was the sound creator for it, and also the "Welcome to Xenon", "Try tube shot" voice.

[@redbirdsaraceno]

Thats really cool your still making great sounds with synthesizers for decades now ! Ive seen videos of you from the 70s and saw you on Letterman years ago . Talk about a synth master sonic explorer ! Awesome .

[@paxwallacejazz]

My phone subbed it has a mind of it's own. I guess I'll let it stand while deciding. I think you helped pioneer the problem.

[@awesomeandamazinggirl]

Just purely amazing.

[@MockingbirdH2O]

Reminds me of Kraftwerk and JM Jarre, I wonder what they think of her music (?) Loved her Pianissimo Albums

Food for the ears and mind. Best consumed with headphones.

[@MarkFlorentino]

Headphones is a must 🎧

[@atlantic_love]

And you can't hear much unless you turn volume way up.

[@temporoboto]

we like it.

[@DigitalEelRich]

Wonderful!

[@joelou]

Is there any way to download the quadraphonic version? I finally have the speakers ready haha

[@seancurtispatrick]

Wonderful performance!

[@Jwdude123]

How did I miss this! She needs to come to the Midwest. Missouri University's would love this stuff.

[@cray56]

Thanks Suzanne! I assume you have your voice back?
