Signal Sounds: Suzanne Ciani’s Sonic Cartography – Buchla, Quad, and the Art of Immersion

In this luminous conversation, Signal Sounds welcomes synth legend Suzanne Ciani, whose story is woven with the magnetic resonance of Buchla circuitry and the swirling tides of quadraphonic sound. Each answer is a window into the nebula of her artistic journey, from the communal table at Buchla’s workshop to the ever-evolving stage of Sonica. Ciani’s reflections ripple through the decades, revealing how audiences, technology, and creative intent bloom and shift like light in fog. To listen is to step inside a living soundscape, where every voltage, every sequence, is charged with memory and longing.
