Suzanne Ciani - Improvisation On Four Sequences At Festival Antigel (2020) [Official Digital Download]

Live Buchla Quadraphonic Performance in Geneva, Switzerland at Festival Antigel January 25, 2020.

I didn’t 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. 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 and on and on until this year when the world changed.

So now, I have the time to release some of these quadraphonic performances. It’s not entirely feasible to release a quad performance on vinyl –- I did it, with help –-the first quad vinyl release in at least 30 years, complete with enclosed hardware decoder. As a collector’s item, that’s fine, but I want to make the quad files available in a more practical way.

This Geneva recording is my first release solely on my Atmospheric label. The piece is titled “Improvisation on Four Sequences” and those four sixteen-stage sequences have been the “raw material” of most of my Buchla concerts since the early 70’s.

1. Part 1: Out of the Ocean (08:18)

3. Part 3: A Higher Place (03:55)
