I can only assume that those making all the "Boring Performance" comments are not really Electronic Music fans but EDM fans.... Boom Tss Boom Tss Boom Tss Boom Tss Boom Tss Boom Tss.... A wonderful sonic journey by an Electronic Music Pioneer performed on an incredible synth made by one of the greatest synth legends in history... Don Buchla. If you really wanna hear a boring performance take all those patch cables out and stand each of those "Boring" commenters in front of the Buchla.... I guarantee that would be a pretty damn boring performance.
The gatekeeping here is hilarious. Its a good soundscape, its not bad, but just the hate here and elitism gave me a giggle. Also:
"If you really wanna hear a boring performance take all those patch cables out and stand each of those "Boring" commenters in front of the Buchla"
Take a bunch of people who dont make music and put them in front of an instrument? I don't even get the point of this.
And for all your ragging on this stuff, you should take a look at Deadmau5's studio when he is recording. He has a Buchla 200e that he uses along side his other stuff. Hell my buddy runs one to make is Psytrance (I think he has a 400 series though).
People like what they like. Slamming on people for not liking what is a rather abstract piece is like me saying you're unsophisticated for not enjoying groups like Merzbow, Venetian Snares, or any Techno music. Real Techno. Like Fumiya Tanaka, Umek or Boris S.
You join the ranks of those you attack... "I guarantee that would be a pretty damn boring performance." here you are TELLING others what is "boring"! For your information I would be FASCINATED to witness the scenario you describe! Imagine the out of sync, weird and wonderful speaker destroying results and the shear terror of the participants faced with an audience who are also terrified/excited followed by moments of joy as they find things that make noises and perhaps even make a great show...... you have thought of a truly *great idea* and haven't even noticed that it has a value in real terms.... THIS IS WHAT GENIUS IS, those that NOTICE. All can do it just keep the brain open :) :) :) :) :)
@@PubstarHero "Take a bunch of people who dont make music and put them in front of an instrument? I don't even get the point of this." I agree with almost all of what you say and think you write very well - but regarding this question/comment see my reply to OP! The "point" would be quite an interesting experiment, actually! Phil Minton did "feral choir" although he did train participants a little before performance.... Nothing is BAD!
Welcome to d***cracy.
All your rant about your knowledge and how people that, for a matter of taste, dislike this performance are ignorant, and you don't even quote the fact that this is meant for a Quadrophonic system and not for a f*in youtube video, in stereo, with compressed audio. The first attribute of ignorance is thinking of knowing sh*t.
Instead of insulting others maybe next time share your knowledge and explain what they are watching as***le.
Creative, beautiful organic sounds of electronic music extracted from "cold" machines. And still do it in live performance! Something that the VST generation does not appreciate enough. Bravo Suzanne!
what do you mean we have modular in digital too, and there are hybrid setups controlled by CV.
I met her tonight. Never have i been more inspired!
First time i listened to this with my eyes shut, my head started nodding by itself. It felt like the drastic panning back and forth hypnotised me or something. It stopped whenever I moved or opened my eyes. Does anyone have similar experiences? it was an awesome experience!
There is no problem to hear the full quad channel audio from this video when using a PLII Music decoder and at least 4 speakers connected
Awesome experience.. love the synths knobs blinking lights and soundscapes altogether.. beautifully sequenced and performed... quite enlightening.. thanks for posting!
I really appreciate that our planet has a woman like this on it, ty suzanne
A true master of her craft and one of the pioneers of synth! Buchla invented West Coast synthesis and gave it to Suzanne to play with and create.
This setup literally looks like an inside out of a computer on the table. I love love the panning. I use to listen to a cassette tape in the late 90s that had these kinds of sounds.. kept flipping the cassette in my walkman all night long. Then I lost the tape GRRR!
Wonderful performance as always from Ms. Ciani!
experimental and very musical!!!! where and anything goes!!! the effort was amazing!!!
This woman was 70+ years old when she performed this. Let that sink in.
So what? That's pretty patronising.
What on Earth does the sink want now?
Time doesn't matter. Only life is important. She is the 5th element.
yeah too much time spent on those simple sequences.
Wow! She's an incredible inspiration.
Gets really intense around 8mins, love her new album with KAS
Absolutely Astonishing! Love this stuff
Wonderful. Thank you!
First album: 1982. Respect.
I didn't know her before this vid so thx for that.
For the guys who just said that is boring -did you watch and listen all the video? IF it was Jean-Michel Jarre no one even dare to think or say it's boring, everyone would said he's a genius... And yes, Jarre also made those "boring" type of sound during performances.
No, if someone else made this i would still call it boring has nothing to do with the artist and everything to do with the sounds created.
Nothing very clever or interesting about this performance. I guess if you also spend most of your time playing with modular gear it may have some interest, but musically it is just ambient noodling of a quite ordinary type, heard a thousand times before... tangerine dream anyone? ;)
Her first album was in 1970
Brocken Spectrum I just love her
“The consumption of complex art has always required privilege. Understanding “difficult” music, for example, often requires not just a specialized education, disposable income and plenty of leisure time, but also a surplus of intellectual capital. Difficult music takes work to consume.”
- Adam Clair / @awaytobuildit
Incredible sound,a Master at Work
Magique Live 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊😎🎧👏
J'adore !
Excellent !
So nice, organic and original MUSIC! Yes, music.
she's great. a real pioneer. I remember stumbling on her work years ago and forgetting her name.
cool stuff - love it!!
She's magical!!
It even reminds me of Tangerine Dream
thank you suzanne !
Hey Suzanne You are rockin! Was just listening to u on Pandora ! Im on Pandora too MJ Lallo
This is so gorgeous
love it!!
❤❤❤❤ Cheers and love from Argentina 🇦🇷
I have to admit ive had a crush on Suzanne since 321 contact .... she's a perfect 10 to me... synth skills and incredible beauty ,.... when she plays synths me ole knees buckle ... lol... ❤️😉
Truly epic.
Excellent and tasteful.
great Suzanne and his equipments electronic,ciao
great stuff.
Mesmerizing!
My respects to the creativity of Suzanne Ciani. Yes most of that Is in your mind. The rest comes in the synthesizers
i like it much!
Took me 9 minutes to figure out it was a stereo recording. Had one Earbud and it sounded off (panning/quiet in parts). Sounds way better with full effect.
thx
whouho ! amazing !
Respect Auntie!
OOoooooohhhhh, OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH, OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH, BRAVO, BRRAVVVVÍSSSIMO
Amazing.
That wiring looks like the back of my TV/sky box/sound bar/Wi-Fi hub.
Amazing sounds an so charming lady!
will you marry her?
Why do we only hear two of the four channels? If this was performed live on a quad system, why didn't anyone at Ableton think to mix this down into stereo for online?
Amazing! Techmoan's awesome video brought me here! I hope to be one of the lucky 272!?
Likewise today
East coast meets West coast - Buchla main synth & Animoog on one of the iPads
calibrating her compass at 0:58
Shes so cool
only just come across this having been respectful of Main/Robert Hampson's 'originality'. Mind blowing
WOW!
Pretty funny Suzanne performing at a Loop festival since playing the Buchla is pretty much the exact opposite of working with loops (which Stockhausen already said was old fashioned like 30 years ago).
Sort of funny but not really, what is a "loop"? That's the question you should ask yourself :) (Stockhausen would understand my meaning hehe)
Nice experimental performance of Suzanne Ciani. Love the different timber of the Buchla :)
Not for you if you find this boring. And thats completely OK. Modular can seem like wizardry (witchcraft in this case lol) sometimes.
¡Diosa!
Simply amazing.
could someone explain how the quad setup works? seems those four boxes on the end of the table are the 4 outs but how do you get 4 splits from a monosynth?
Make the signal stereo before it hits the boxes. Usually thru fx
it can work in many ways but the simplest explanation of Quad is you have 4 mono outs and ins that you can send whatever you want to each one (so with a monosynth you simpley select which one to go in each corner or have a mix of all four, just two etc etc). Therefore you must have minimum 4 speakers in the room. I have a Quadrophonic DJ mixer. Many records were recorded in Quad but they mostly stopped in the 70's.
@@zpurpz not necessary to do that but yes you can if you want.
🔥🔥🔥
Fucking legend !!!!
amazing!
Yeah
Getting Ashra vibes here. Would love to see her in concert some day.
素晴らしい。
whats the synth called looks dope
A clone of a Buchla - there's a doco from a day later where she talks about that. The buchla is too expensive to risk to airplane baggage handllers and the generall rigours of the road.
It’s an authentic Buchla 200e System with a couple of clone modules (248r MARF, 291 Dual Bandpass Filter) of vintage modules no longer made by Buchla.

OMS!!!
Nice direct boxes.
Where is the computer? Is she running Ableton on iPads?
I think the iPad is running some sort of remote app for the Eventide FX boxes?
more fun than a Prophet 5.
Sounds good to me. Reminiscent of Terry Riley in some spots.
I feel bad for discovering this artist only today, even though I know Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Jarre, Moroder among other precursors.
OK... who's got the kit list :) I know some of you are trying to identify all the parts and IOS programs
PilferMusic
I noticed she's using Animoog on one of her iPads at the beginning. I haven't a clue about the rest of it, but it's the sort of thing I do on my home PC with my 2 iPads just to see what sort of noises I can make. When I get fed up with messing around I either switch everything off and do something useful, or I get on with recording some proper music.
@@alanwilton6806 This reply amuses/interests me. If you read it carefully it is a strange sort of "admission of bad work process". I will re write it to try and illustrate:
"its the sort of thing I do on my home PC...messing around...when I get fed up... I either switch everything off and do something useful... or... get on with recording... proper music"
so, if I was writing I would say "Its the sort of thing I try to do on my home set up and when I reach a point where I have created some interesting sounds I make a note of how I did it and record any of them I really like to use alongside my *other* music production ,ethods".
heheee, the differences in some peoples outlook on life is one of the most interesting things about Humans :)
"Proper music"? Nonsense, there is no such thing! There is music you like, music you do not. All of us CHANGE OUR MIND sometimes... I used to like some music, now I don't like some of it but one day I will like it again. Most days anyway I do not know what I will like until I see/hear/smell/eat/do it!!!! Enjoy :)
I hope I can bring the skronks like that when I'm 71 years old
I like it a lot, but listening with headphones, the total absence of signal caused by "stereo ping-pong" is really bothering, acoustically
7:30 OMG!!!
listen to her 1975 concert that's on here now
I don’t get it
Amazing.
its (amazing) art don't touch
Great, very inspiring.
美
very nice :-)
Kids you wanna feel really slow and boring... This woman is 72 years old ;)
she could make a mistake,but you won't hear it
“Sounds like chicken frying”
the constant hard right/left panning makes it impossible to hear this set with headphones... very annoying...
Agreed. It's doing things to my brain. Reducing the volume only partially helps! It's worth it, though, to hear such beautiful music.
I'm going to assume it has something to do with her performance actually being in quad. She only performs in quad.
Quadraphonic sound. There was a time when it was pretty popular and some people consider stereophonic a regression. It's a bit of a precursor to surround sound in a way.
"this isn't good to listen to"
DUDE WTF... devote yourself to fishing and "please"!... she's a fcking LEGEND! (legend noun (EXPLANATION) "an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field"
... let me guess? "big room", right?... lol ...."beautiful masterpiece" just and only "btw"
I perfectly heard this masterpiece in my AKG K271 MKII, "sea, waves, magical perhaps?"
+!
Too much bright lighting on the audience floor.
Concept is cool, but the Autopan is really disturbing...
WTF is going on?
They were too busy figuring out if they could do it that they never stopped to ask if they should.
Of course they should.
Are you insinuating that only t:30 pop songs are worth creating? Sometimes i can't imagine what kind of backwoods hick thinks like that. Thank goodness the world is leaving that kind of simple thinking behind.
@TheBeans Hicks aren't exactly known for their love of pop music or trends, you urban hipster douche.
sounds like PVD forbidden fruit, just less interesting...
Not pleasing to the ears. Maybe nice scifi backround music.
Man, I'm so glad I don't have your brain. This shit bangs.
Boring
tbh, It's boring ;p
이주원 it's a different approach to composition and exploration of sound....it's not traditional hook and dance floor or relaxation music....experimental electronic music:)
Ammanuel Tekeste Ok ;l
Suzanne Ciani is not living in your world, you're living in her's.
When ur 71 give us a wee shout out to see you playing on the buchla synth, until then understand where your musical history comes from, and the innovators who made that possible.
When the aliens eventually recieved and deciphered her message, they wrote back - "Did you want fries with that?"
