Loopop has published an interesting video with Suzanne Ciani, talking about her quadraphonic Buchla system.
“Suzanne Ciani is an electronic music pioneer, composer, sound designer responsible for iconic sounds in commercials and video games, AND not only a pioneer but someone who is still leading the pack today with amazing modular performances.
But what you won’t get to really know about Suzanne’s performance until you attend one of her concerts is that all her shows are strictly quadraphonic, and the experience is amazing.
That experience can be recreated in the studio, so I set out to create series of videos about creating quadraphonic music and performance.”
