Buchla Concerts 1975 captures pioneering electronic composer Suzanne Ciani at the forefront of modular synthesis, performing live on the legendary Buchla 200 system in New York City. Recorded in April 1975 at the WBAI Free Music Store and Phil Niblock’s loft, these concerts reveal Ciani’s imaginative control over evolving soundscapes, offering a spellbinding glimpse into the formative years of electronic music. Widely regarded as a lost synth manifesto, this album showcases her distinctive approach, blending technical mastery with playful innovation.
This release on Finders Keepers Records offers listeners the chance to experience the rarely documented, boundary-pushing performances that helped define a feminine perspective in electronic experimentation. Included is a 12-page booklet featuring Suzanne’s grant application, outlining her vision for performing the Buchla, making this a unique historical insight as well as an enthralling auditory experience.
