Suzanne Ciani and the London Contemporary Orchestra

Nick Luscombe presents a collaboration session between Buchla synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani and members of the London Contemporary Orchestra.

Nick Luscombe presents a collaboration session between Buchla synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani and members of the London Contemporary Orchestra.

With 15 solo albums, 5 Grammy nominations and a huge list of composing and sound design credits to her name, it鈥檚 no exaggeration to say that Suzanne Ciani is an electronic music legend. Ciani鈥檚 music is closely tied to the work of synthesiser 鈥榝ounding father鈥� Don Buchla and in this session she plays the Buchla 200e, an instrument she describes as the 鈥渉eight of modular instrument design鈥�.

In this exclusive session for Late Junction, Suzanne Ciani was joined by violinist Galya Bisengalieva , Robert Ames (viola) and Brian O鈥橩ane (cello) from the London Contemporary Orchestra to rework 4 sequences of music she created in the 1970s.

If you鈥檙e listening on headphones, check out the binaural mix of the session on the Late Junction website.

Elsewhere on the programme, Nick features folk from the Rheingans Sisters and new music from Ben Chatwin.

Produced by Freya Hellier for Reduced Listening.
