She's not only an amazing and accomplished musician, but she is also a Master "Buchlist" as well as a Master sound designer. She doesn't stop at the musical or compositional aspect of her performance. She takes things all the way to the spatial acoustic envelope of the performance space / venue and carefully considers and designs the parameters for the audio playback system and audience listening experience. It's a huge confluence of skills and mastery from top to bottom. Awe inspiring !
And to do it in real time takes a great deal of practice, and memory. Simply fantastic.
I just love her enthusiasm. I also love that each concert is like a new painting that she paints in real time. You never know what imagery or soundscape shes gonna throw at you. Every concert is a special treat. 😁❤
no such thing as knowx or lox or improvx or not, cepuxyuax, think, out any nmw an dany s perfx
Bravo Susanne 👋
i usually hate modular synth sequences but she is epic and excellent at it
I love Suzanne she's been my hero since I've been hipped to modular synthesizers. Wish I had heard of her years ago. This where I've wanted to be and didn't know it. Love me some Suzanne C. You go girl!!!
Great! It would have been great to see her and Sun Ra get together.
That's what I call REAL electronic music,
That was fantastic! I remember Suzzane talking about the very first sounds she was interested in creating was the sounds of the ocean. It wasgreat that she started and ended the composition with those soundscapes.
If you get a chance to see her live I would highly recommend you do so. The quadrophonic soundscape is an amazing experience!
i believe you ! Here at home, i ´m listenin' with four "enceintes , and that's so fine !!!
@@matttkonture70 lovely!
next week at Manchester :)
She is just wonderful. Instant mood enhancer.
what an outstanding performance. I would have loved to be there in that little chapel witnessing these enormous sounds created by this legendary woman
Awesome to see a legend using Animoog app in a live performance. 8:39
...on a fat iPad.
lol, that means that the greatest synth minds are not hardware snobs.
One of my all time favorites! So many textures. I have been studying your performances for nearly a year now and it never ceases to amaze me how you are able to pass through various movements and it all flows seamlessly. I remain, however, confused as to what you have tied "L" to on the 223e input port. At first I thought the master clock but now I think an arpeggiator. I realize this was four years ago, so I will try some different ideas. Anyway, thank you for the hours of entertainment..
Amazing Woman!
Nice. On my birthday. There's nothing more daunting than composing a work of music with a machine whose basic sound materials are primarily bleeps, bloops and swooshes driven by sequencers. Mort Subotnick did it. Compliments to Suzanne for a courageous followup :)
"composing a work of music with a machine whose basic sound materials are primarily bleeps, bloops and swooshes "
That's really not true, the Buchla and other modular synths have many rich timbres to work with, and something that seems continually lost on people is that what makes something "beep" vs a longer more developed sound primarily has to do with the shape of the envelope. You might as well say that there's nothing more daunting than composing a work of music with a device whose basic sounds are strings resonating against a stick of wood. In any case, it doesn't take any skill to make sounds that are not like these..really, I don't know why it seems people have such trouble with it..just sequence anything other than a pure square or sine wave with a short envelope and it probably wont' sound like that. What does take skill is putting sounds in a spectrum of composition that musically makes sense and fits together.
She’s been around since the 60’s doing this type of music
Yes
So beautiful 😍
Wow!
Beautiful as always!
Love the formant at 26:00
Viaggiare col Suono verso infiniti imponderabili
Is pity she turns heer back on the public... The bottom screen is useless with the back ligt of window... but the music is very scalable and never let people fall asleep! Very good moment of pure electronic music! Thank's for video. :)
some modular performers do that, to show the audience what they do 'live' and also it's about the music and not staring at the performer, who is locked in the moment not waving and bopping like a dj...
Great
19:40 yeah baby !
I want to learn from her.
Is this modern church music? I must attend to church then
Starts to get dramatic and spooky at 27:40 or so.
Was this in quad?
Yes and I would love to hear it that way some day! SC always performs with quad audio. She famously turned down an invitation to perform at Lincoln Center because they would not provide quad audio. I believe that the sense that quad is an essential element of live performance came from Don Buchla, Ciani’s mentor, and designer of the synthesizers that have been at the heart of this part of her career.
Would love to see the itemized gear list please?!
it's a 18U buchla 200e system (lots of 200e modules + a 248 (MARF) clone) + a small 3U boat with 2 Buchla format Eventide H9 (by northern light modular) and a cv-controller for them + a 223e kinestetic input "keyboard" (on her left) + 2 ipads (one with animoog app, 1 with eventide app). more or less
@@osc3947 thanks !
@@osc3947 thanks for info!
Is the sequencer part of the Buchla or something se added? Do you know its model? It's quite a lot of time I am wondering if the best option to work with many sequences is better from an app on iPad or Mac (maybe one of the DAW software I use) or find a good eurorack sequencer, but for this last one I saw time signatures like 6/8 and other composite measures are a problem...
Daniele Sozzani Desperati there are two buchla sequencers: model 248 and model 251e. The 248 is a clone of a 70-80s buchla module and it’s the main sequencer (the big module with a lot of sliders). This module is actually not simply a sequencer but a multi segment function generator. The 251e is a 100 step 4 track sequencer kinda similar to the orthogonal devices ER-101. Comunque se parli italiano posso rispondere in italiano 🙃
это звучит внатуре как из 10499
I know she ist a legend and the Buchla is legendary but somehow that sounds very similar to the spontaneous noodling i (and 100000 others) do in my living room with "lesser" equipment.
(And did about 30 years ago with some of the old instruments i had back then), not sure if this is really "big art".
wrr
8:30 тайна третей планеты))
how is no one head bobbing honestly
there's no 4/4 808 beat brah gaffaw
To me, it sounds monophonic.
I stopped watching at the sixth ad. Ciani's performance seemed nice though, too bad we have to endure so much shit.

yawn
In computer age, you use 1960 model electronic equipments. Even nasa has updated itself.
They haven't landed anyone on the moon or anywhere else since though.
And she is still making interesting music with that old equipment, unlike many people with piles of new gear
This has been her instrument since the 60’s
She did get into “modern” equipment in the 80’s and 90’s when composing for film, television, computer games and arcade games and also doing sound design for major synth manufacturers like Yamaha, Roland and Korg. She had returned to her roots, namely the buchla, in only the past 10 or 15 years
...and people play all kinds of old styles on old instruments, classical music on old violins, chellos, cembali and stuff, blues on vintage guitars, so why not play this style on old synths...
Technology is overrated.
