Description
In 1980, Suzanne Ciani stepped onto late-night television and brought modular synthesis into millions of living rooms. This moment on The David Letterman Show wasn’t just a performance - it was a glimpse into a future sound.
Working with Buchla synthesizers, Ciani helped define electronic music as something tactile, emotional and expressive at a time when the technology was still largely unexplored. Her approach treated sound as a physical material, shaped by hands, movement and intuition.
Long before electronic music filled clubs and festivals, Suzanne Ciani showed that machines could feel human - and that electronic sound could be art.
A true pioneer. Still resonating.
