\"\"<\/a>Electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani<\/strong> has announced a new album that captures a recent immersive Buchla<\/strong> modular synth live performance.<\/p>\n

Ciani says that she’s “Ecstatic to announce the quadraphonic vinyl release of Improvisation on Four Sequences Live at Festival Antigel<\/strong>, on my label Atmospheric. This is the first release on Atmospheric in 25 years.”<\/p>\n

Improvisation on Four Sequences<\/strong> was performed live in quadraphonic sound on the Buchla 200e<\/strong> and the iPad music app Animoog<\/strong> at Festival Antigel in Geneva, Switzerland on January 25th, 2020.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t know at the time that concert touring would disappear and that a pandemic would suddenly end my live Buchla performance era that had had a resurgence in 2016,” explains Ciani. “For those years, I flew around the world, toting my Buchla 200e in checked baggage and prayed that it would survive the trip: Melbourne, Tokyo, London, Santiago, New York.”<\/p>\n

“On and on until this year, when the world changed,” she adds. “So now, I have the time to release some of these quadraphonic performances.”<\/p>\n

Ciani knows that quad vinyl isn’t the most practical medium for many listeners, so she’s making the music available in several formats, including quadraphonic, 5.1, stereo and ambisonic.; all at 44.1 and 88.2.<\/p>\n

The vinyl release<\/a> is specially encoded to be played back in quadraphonic sound and is also stereo compatible. Digital versions are available via Bandcamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
