What a treat it was to speak with the absolutely wonderful Suzanne Ciani who's really a unique and outstanding woman in the world of electronic music. We get into her early use of psychedelics and chat about spirituality and the inner “little voice” which is her guide in all things. We discuss eternal sounds, how her LP “Seven Waves” was constructed from a huge manuscript. We listen to her snoring cat and chat tennis. In fact there's a lot of tennis talk here which is definitely a first and an area Suzanne is very passionate about. Of course we talk about the exceptional Don Buchla and some of the excentric ways in which his modules behave even from one unit to the next. We also explore his attire. It's amazing to think of the time she came up in time when synthesizers were first emerging and nobody had heard these vast, pure and electric vibrations that were really unlike anything that had come before. In this day and age so much it's taken for granted and yet it all returns in the end to the sea. To the ocean waves which of course she's so known for coaxing in synthetic form so deftly. Im so glad I got to spend a little time with the brilliant Suzanne Ciani. ____________ Thanks to Ableton for their kind support.

Her work has been featured in films, games, and countless commercials as well. She was inducted into the first class of Keyboard Magazine's Hall of Fame alongside other synth luminaries, including Bob Moog, Don Buchla and Dave Smith and received the Moog Innovation Award. Most recently, she is the recipient of the Independent Icon Award from A2IM, The Golden Ear Award and the SEAMUS Award.Suzanne has provided the voice and sounds for Bally's groundbreaking "Xenon" pinball machine, created Coca-Cola's pop-and-pour sound, designed logos for Fortune 500 companies and carved out a niche as one of the most creatively successful female composers in the world.

If you were watching TV in the 1980s you're probably familiar with the sounds of electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani, whose synthesizer compositions became the sonic logos for Coca-Cola, Atari, GE, PBS and dozens of other brands. Ciani has gone on to cultivate new audiences through her quadraphonic concerts that she produces using an updated version of the same synthesizer that she played as a student at UC Berkeley in the late-1960s, the Buchla 200E. We'll talk with Ciani about her career, how California inspires her and hear excerpts from her upcoming concert series that celebrates the 40th anniversary of her breakthrough album “Seven Waves.”

Laura Misch, Suzanne Ciani, Madame Gandhi and Sian O'Gorman talk about their music practices, how they're entwined with nature and technology, the natural muses which inspire their creative process, and imagining futures in which music can have a reciprocal relationship with the environment it is played within. Laura Misch is a multidisciplinary artist and producer from London. She is a singer, songwriter and saxophonist, who also makes audio and video collages. She primarily has a loop-based saxophone practice, and her debut EP Playground was released in 2017. Since then, she has also become interested in including natural surroundings in recordings. In 2021, she composed an immersive outdoor installation in Epping Forest in the UK, eventually soundtracking large-scale tree projections mapped onto buildings in London. Her debut album Sample The Sky came out on October 13th, and it's an ode to care, connection and listening to the natural world. Producer, drummer, artist and activist Madame Gandhi's career has included collaborations with MIA, Kehlani, and Thievery Corporation, and she's also featured on the BBC's 100 Women list. Her activism includes combating menstrual stigma people face around the world, and she's a Harvard graduate to boot.Suzanne Ciani is a musician, sound designer, composer, and record label executive who has made incredible electronic music and sound effects for films and TV. She's worked with quadrophonic sound, and has been pioneering electronic music since the 1970s. Sian O'Gorman is part of the self-managed collective NYX,a collaborative drone choir and otherworldly electric chorus, re-embodying live electronics and vocal techniques. NYX will be recording their debut album later this year.

A Strangely Isolated Place
ASIP - Reflection on 2023

A Strangely Isolated Place

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 20, 2023


As with all past ‘Reflection' year-end mixes, I start with a collection of albums, EPs, and compilations I have enjoyed over the past year. Through the process of compiling a mix, tracks are selected from this extensive collection. This ultimately means many of my favorite tracks and albums are often omitted in this process, due to the organic process of compiling a mix, things don't fit, or fall by the wayside. There are many albums I had on high rotation missing from this mix, but I have to stop somewhere. As I say every year, this isn't a definitive ‘best-of' list, but a selection of *some* of my favorite music from the year in one listenable format. It's the most enjoyable way for me to boil down the music I've loved from the year using these self-imposed restrictions, for you to enjoy and hopefully discover more, and for me to reflect on time and time again - like a photograph that captures the year in music. I encourage you to use the mix to explore each artist, listen to the album in full, and explore each label (and check the Buy Music Club list at the bottom). If you want to see the majority of music I've been supporting this year, head over to my Bandcamp collection. For the ASIP year-end label compilation, see the feature and mix here.~Yikes, I crossed the 3-hour mark! Well, that speaks volumes to the amount of great music that was released this year, and I'm already feeling guilty about omissions from this mix. But alas, it needs to stop somewhere, the Holiday's are coming… This edition marks the tenth year in succession (2010 was the first mix but I skipped doing this for two years for some reason) and it is an extremely enjoyable exercise I look forward to every year. Revisiting many of the albums I've purchased throughout the year, and records from my shelf, then taking the time to absorb more recent releases - the process is cathartic (after the slight anxiety that builds knowing I have a beast of a mix to tackle, and hard decisions to be made). Looking back at previous Reflection mixes, I am evidently a creature of habit and seem to gravitate to certain artists more than most over the years (we all have our faves), but I also take a lot of time to dig for new artists and approaches to music in this realm, and this year's edition is probably the most varied in music styles since the Reflection series began. Ambient, field recordings, drone (Power-ambient, even), big saxophones (the flute revival didn't make it ;-), Japanese left-field pop, deep techno, chugging techno, modern classical, experimental, jungle, breaks, dub and more… as you might imagine, this is a 3hr mix that feels more like a showcase than a DJ mix in the traditional sense, as I'm focusing on creating chapters of different styles, but I hope makes for an attentive listen if you've got 3hrs to spare. Am I going to write about all 42 tracks? Not this time, as I don't think there's much I can illustrate other than ‘go listen to that entire album!' but I will make a few observations on themes that emerged as I was going through this process. Firstly, the far corners of Bandcamp are very much alive, so for anyone looking for alternatives given all the talk with Bandcamp this year, please don't hit the escape button and continue to support us- I continued to find so many new labels and artists, some of which are included here such as Liis Ring, Etüüd, ǝɯǝɐ, Azu Tiwaline and not to forget a kick-ass Jungle community throwing out some lovely 90's infused comps. Bandcamp keeps small labels and artists alive right now (only two of these tracks were physical releases and not on Bandcamp - #19 & #42). I spent a lot of time listening to music that would work for the two shows I played in Japan earlier this year, and for those who listened back to one of the sets I posted, you may notice a few similar tracks/artists appearing here again which I've held in high regard since their release, such as Jo Johnson, Field Lines Cartographer and Endurance. On reflection, there was a lot of deepness for me this year that came from preparing for and inspired by those sets, sitting on the edges of techno with lots of synthesizer/Berlin school projects (as well as a couple of artists I got to see in person whilst over there such as Yolabmi and Endurance).There were a couple of glaring omissions from this mix (*checks Bandcamp app most played*) which I had on rotation so much this year that I still wanted to mention, such as Imaginary Softwoods, who was behind one of my favorite tracks of the year, ‘Diagrams of the Universe'. Along with Johnny Nash's Point of Entry - a tranquil guitar-laden affair, both of which never left my turntable for long.The ever-expanding ASIP roster of artists, both alumni and current, had an extremely busy year evidently (I try to restrict their inclusions in this mix where I can otherwise it could be an entire ASIP promo show… hey that's an idea…). bvdub released about ~10 masterpieces, as only he can, flaunting all possible peripherals in his deep arsenal (along with rounding out the Earth House Hold project with us of course). ASC was crazy busy with his quality retro Spatial DnB releases (one of them made it in here). For those who enjoyed Alex Albrecht's debut with us, don't miss his earlier 2023 release. Deepchild released another great textured follow-up to his ASIP debut for those wanting more. 36 continued some rave-esque ambient no doubt inspired by his 9128 recording a few years back. Markus Guentner began an exciting collab project with Joachim Spieth (and also appeared in several other collaborations). RAI kept things relatively reflective with a few Bandcamp specials and recordings from his live tour. Benoit Pîoulard made a beautiful return to Morr Music, and Christian Kleine rounded out the year with a limited vinyl press. Those needing more from our 2023 new signing Mikkel Rev, can check out his earlier album released in January this year. James Bernard had a busy year alongside his wife as Awakened Souls, and found more 90's DAT goodness among many other projects. Mick Chillage released a superb sleeper IDM album in the form of Initial Programs. Dr Atmo's throwback to his early sounds saw a rebirth of one of his most enjoyed albums alongside new remixes. Wanderwelle made their second full-length odyssey for Important Records and Yagya continued to explore uncharted new takes on his sound through his new label imprint. Scanner's innovative repertoire continued to expand and one of my faves of his came in the form of this collab. Hior Chronik published a couple of unreleased gems. And lastly, Ludvig Cimbrelius aka Purl/Illuvia and Arovane managed to sneak onto this mix with a couple of their releases… Two labels who hit home runs for me this year with the majority of their releases. Illian Tape had some extremely great (and varied) electronic releases. And while Mysteries of the Deep's output was relatively choice (quality over quantity), 3 out of the 4 releases made it onto the mix! There are a couple of tracks in the mix from albums that align with what seems to be, the common consensus on some of the ‘best' electronic releases from the year (one of the advantages of my waiting until mid-December to finish this mix is I see what other people are rating highly or what I might've missed) such as James Holden's psychedelic return, and Purelink's amphibious dub LP. But other than those two, I think everyone should find something new among the twists and turns across the 3 hours and 42 tracks.For the mix artwork this year, and after last year's terribly basic AI take (it's come a long way in a year!), I toyed with creating another AI attempt on a “A Strangely Isolated Place” prompt, but you have to spend time to get quality back out of these lil' work gnomes. Every image I created from that prompt ended up being a stereotypical lonely hiker (with 4 fingers I'm sure) strolling through a highly conceptual colorful future universe. Either that or a decrepit shed…So instead, I opted for an image that means much more to me… a wall. Not just any wall though, it's the wall outside of Spread nightclub in Tokyo where I had the pleasure of playing an ambient set this year, meeting new friends, and making some amazing memories.Thanks to all of the artists and labels included here who have soundtracked my year in more ways than one, and the many more I didn't manage to include this time around. Be sure to check the previous year's Reflection mixes for more of the same.

Siempre me ha intrigado la ausencia de mujeres compositoras en la música en general y también, lógicamente, en la música electrónica en particular. Las artes en general parecen ser cosa de hombres, supongo que por arrastrar prejuicios culturales que relegaban a la mujer a papeles secundarios o simplemente porque las labores prominentes eran desempeñadas habitualmente por hombres. En nuestro canal de Telegram, Oriol mencionó que sería interesante hacer un episodio especial dedicado a las mujeres pioneras en la música electrónica y la verdad es que me la idea me apeteció mucho. Investigando un poco van saliendo nombres que se merecen un reconocimiento y que han jugado un papel destacado en el desarrollo de los precoces instrumentos electrónicos. Su música a menudo es más una amalgama de sonidos experimentales donde se juega con el tono, el timbre o la frecuencia, en lugar de crear una "música bonita", así que os advierto: haremos un ejercicio de arqueología musical, muy interesante para las mentes curiosas y abiertas a conocer en perspectiva aquellos inciertos origenes, para escuchar composiciones extrañas y de difícil comprensión entre otras más amigables. Hoy retrocederemos en el tiempo para rendir un homenaje a algunas de las mujeres pioneras en la música electrónica. Lisa Bella Donna, Johanna M.

In this 4-hour special, we focus on musicians who have used new modular & vintage synths in their studios, with tracks taken from the 80s to the present day, which have been featured on various editions of our previous podcasts. Modular synths, once considered virtually obsolete, have been one of the most surprising growth areas in music technology over the last decade. The main appeal to musicians is obvious: their unrivalled flexibility makes them the most versatile form of an imaginable synthesiser. Customisation is one of the main appeals of modular synthesisers, with small-format and relatively cheap Eurorack is one exciting way that sound connoisseurs are building upon the classic sound technologies of the past while taking advantage of new alternative modules that are jam-packed with never-seen-before features.

Suzanne Ciani is a true pioneer. One of the world's first synth heroes.  “The diva of the diode.”  Ciani began experimenting with electronic music in 1960s California, at a time when to do so wasn't just about a new style of music, but about creating a whole new language: a new form of music with this new technology. Like Delia Derbyshire and Cosey Fanni Tutti and many other female pioneers, it's taken time for the world to catch up and for Ciani to be recognised for quite how significant her cultural contribution runs across how we hear what we hear. Now in her mid seventies, she shows no signs of slowing down, she speaks with Paul about some of the key musical moments in her life: California of the 60s, New York of the 70s, the importance of putting emotion into music and her work in spatial sound. Suzanne Ciani is touring from march to September this year, check out her tourdates herePaul's debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.

Vanessa Wagner présente l'album Study Of The Invisible (InFiné). S'il y a une constante chez Vanessa Wagner, c'est bien sa versatilité, au sens où l'entendent les Anglo-Saxons. Parallèlement à sa carrière de musicienne interprétant le grand répertoire soliste, chambriste et concertant sur les scènes du monde entier (et l'enregistrant pour le label La Dolce Volta), celle que Le Monde qualifie de "pianiste la plus délicieusement singulière de sa génération" et que Libération décrit comme "une des pianistes les plus curieuses et captivantes du paysage hexagonal - arpente avec la complicité du label InFiné des chemins tout aussi personnels, mais peut-être plus intimes". Après Statea en 2016, en duo avec le musicien électronique Murcof, elle vient aujourd'hui poursuivre avec Study Of The Invisible le voyage entamé sur son disque solo Inland (2019). Un voyage qui la voit défricher ce répertoire qu'elle est en France, voire en Europe, pratiquement la seule pianiste "classique" à aborder. Un répertoire contemporain et intemporel que l'on qualifiera, pour aller vite, de "minimaliste", mais qui recouvre en réalité une multitude d'univers singuliers et de personnalités musicales souvent hors du commun, toutes générations confondues. Pour composer ce programme, Vanessa Wagner a creusé son passionnant travail de découverte entamé avec Inland, assemblant des pièces rares qui tissent entre elles une mystérieuse histoire. Parmi les 15 stations qui composent ce palpitant périple, les États-Unis se taillent la part du lion. Sous le parrainage de Moondog, le viking aveugle et visionnaire, dont le très "bachien". Prélude en la majeur de 1961 constitue la pièce la plus ancienne du disque, se côtoient les icônes du minimalisme - l'incontournable Philip Glass, l'inclassable Harold Budd, pape de la musique ambient -, les représentants de la première génération de "postminimalistes" - Peter Garland, David Lang ou Julia Wolfe, nés dans les années 1950 - et la jeune garde : Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, Timo Andres, nés entre 1976 et 1985. Mais aussi quelques outsideuses de choix : Suzanne Ciani, plus connue (tout est relatif) comme pionnière de la musique électronique ou l'étonnante Caroline Shaw, qui fut en 2013, à 31 ans, la plus jeune lauréate du prix Pulitzer, et dont l'univers va et vient librement entre musiques "savante" et "populaire". Tout aussi inclassables, apparaissent aussi les œuvres et les parcours de l'Italien Ezio Bosso, du Français Melaine Dalibert ou, bien sûr, des frères Brian et Roger Eno, autres musiciens d'entre les mondes.   Ces partitions qui peuvent de prime abord paraître simples techniquement - quoique les Études de Philip Glass ou de Nico Muhly exigent une vélocité extravagante - réclament en réalité de l'interprète - bien davantage que la simple virtuosité : une intériorité, une authentique disposition de l'âme. À l'instar de la musique d'Érik Satie, c'est une musique qu'il appartient à chacun d'habiter en se gardant de la dénaturer. Ainsi l'exploration à laquelle se livre Vanessa Wagner est aussi une quête : "Chercher son intériorité : c'est ce que j'aime de plus en plus dans la musique." Après avoir joué Scriabine, Rachmaninov ou Ravel, explorer l'intensité sans déluge de notes, le dépouillement comme mode d'expression me passionne. Il s'agit pour l'interprète de faire ressortir une vraie atmosphère, une respiration du tempo, une sensualité du son, de mettre une intensité dans chaque intention, et faire vivre et vibrer les espaces entre chaque note. "Ce n'est pas une musique légère, c'est une musique intense émotionnellement, qui va en profondeur, dans laquelle on met une part de son histoire…" Marier à ce degré d'intensité le contrôle - celui du toucher, du son - et l'abandon n'est pas à la portée de tous les instrumentistes. Tel est le sens de Study Of The Invisible : aller chercher ce monde mystérieux qui vit derrière la partition, les liens imperceptibles qui unissent ces silences et ces harmonies, mais aussi ces ressources intérieures que cette musique est capable de mettre à jour. Avec ce disque et ce voyage, Vanessa Wagner dont l'apparente mélancolie s'avère en fin de compte puissamment réconfortante, continue de donner ses lettres de noblesse à une musique qui, mieux que brillante, se révèle avant tout rayonnante et lumineuse.   Et Labelle présente Eclat (InFiné/ Eumolpe), son nouvel album pour quatuor à cordes et électro-maloya avec la participation du quatuor Metavers. Avec Éclat - moment unique d'étincelle de la création - Labelle continue son exploration de l'infinie possibilité de la composition débutée en 2019 avec Orchestre Univers. Son quatrième album studio, centré autour d'un quatuor à cordes, est né lors d'une répétition à laquelle assistait Labelle : assis à côté des cordes, il les observe communiquer entre eux dans un langage sans paroles, presque télépathique, fait de contacts visuels, de hochements de tête et de coups d'archets. Depuis ses débuts, le compositeur aime s'affranchir des règles orchestrales traditionnelles pour expérimenter, innover et "créoliser" son art. "J'ai écrit pour eux comme si j'écrivais pour un groupe de rock." Jeremy précise : "Tu as ta section rythmique, tes deux guitares lead et un seul musicien joue de la basse." Dans la musique classique, le langage entre les musiciens est la clé - la conversation entre les lignes et les musiciens crée quelque chose d'organique et vivant. Ainsi, Labelle écrit aussi les parties électroniques pour qu'elles aient une double fonction : élément musical d'une part, clef de compréhension de l'œuvre d'autre part, devenant ainsi une partie du langage entre les musiciens. Ensemble, ils explorent un son unique où l'orchestration classique rencontre le Maloya, l'électronique moderne rencontre les instruments organiques, l'Afrique rencontre l'Europe, la terre rencontre l'espace. Labelle cherche l'inspiration partout : Mes Mondes a été augmenté d'un quart de ton pour correspondre à la gamme de la musique Gnaoua du Maroc, un morceau très rythmé et hypnotique étroitement lié au Maloya de La Réunion, pays d'origine de l'artiste. Le morceau suivant, Dann Ron Maloya, est une construction jusqu'à RON, la seule fois sur le disque où les quatre musiciens jouent la même ligne, un récit musical de l'état de transe que la musique et la danse Maloya peuvent permettre d'atteindre. Ils s'élèvent et s'élèvent jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient noyés dans la distorsion, ressemblant plus à un solo de guitare rock qu'à un quatuor à cordes. Le titre éponyme Éclat est peut-être celui qui s'inscrit le plus directement dans la lignée du précédent album de l'artiste, Orchestre Univers, évoquant un son cosmique, comme un orchestre suspendu en apesanteur. De nombreuses chansons ont d'abord été enregistrées lors d'une série de concerts, avant que la pandémie ne frappe en 2020, puis réenregistrées, éditées et superposées au cours d'une année de confinement. Sur le disque fini, grâce à un mixage et une production exceptionnelle, il est impossible de distinguer ce qui a été enregistré en direct de ce qui a été enregistré en studio : un témoignage du niveau étonnant de détails apporté à cet album. Pour immortaliser et ajouter la touche finale à cette expérimentation, le disque a été envoyé à Hector Plimmer pour un mixage supplémentaire. La touche jazz et expérimentale du producteur anglais déconstruit encore plus le quatuor à cordes, l'amenant vers un résultat encore plus beau et singulier. Labelle a créé un disque capable d'unir des éléments de rock, de jazz, d'électronique et de musique classique sans jamais perdre l'auditeur, il l'attire en l'introduisant lentement dans un monde où la musique se libère de toutes ses barrières.
