It's a voice type and cadence unheard of nowadays unfortunately. The last time I heard that type was in the early 1990s, just as grunge and other sound cancer was coming along.
Jesus, 3 2 1 Contact was such a great show and this episode is just so amazing. I don't remember watching this, but I'm sure kid me would have been in love with all this. So, so cool!
@@matthewferguson7084 The sound is always as good as the sound card you use. If you play a soft prophet with a 16 bit 44000kHz onboard sound card, then don't be surprised when it sounds shit.
@@neurolepticer1284 over my head what you say..but I can tell when its those originals..feel it in my arms like when I see a pretty girl Even through my phone, the copies sound similiar but I don't feel them like the real ones
Suzanne is so brilliant! I love how she’s a great teacher with the ability to explain all these concepts so that someone not familiar with acoustics, engineering, or synthesis can understand.
I've worked for a decade in pop-science, learning gradually to explain things to people in a warm, relatable way that touches their personal curiosity and real everyday experience. This short video of Ciani explaining synths and music (a thing I've also studied for a long time) is like a humbling master class at how warmly, immediately, and simply you can explain everything as long as you really understand and feel it. Any engineers who can't fire up people with their field are just poor teachers/explainers (which is OK in itself); while teaching is certainly a gift, this also requires this complete openness and humbleness that people exhibit, men a women, if they're really "zen" in their vocation.
I'm over 50 years old and watching this show and others like it along with movies (John Carpenter) and old school video games/pinball machines are what cultivated my love for electronic music that still goes strong to this day.
So brilliant seeing this, the cute interplay between the two women is very wholesome and engaging too. The sound creating at the end sounds as good as something Tangerine Dream could do!
Loved this when I saw it on PBS in Webster Groves, St. Louis, MO as an elementary (primary) school kid. Blew my mind to see this again like that scene in the movie Amélie where the guy gets his childhood memory box returned to him & is flooded with good memories. So THANK YOU 🙏 molto grazie Mille Mille
Wow! Sometimes you come across people so in love with what they do and so increadibly knowledgeable and gifted at the same time. I don't play synth (or much instruments at all) but just as a person in general interested in physics, sounds etc, this is a really nice video putting complex things into perspective in such beautiful way.
I loved this segment as a kid watching 3-2-1 Contact on PBS. Also had fond memories of seeing another program where she's working on the music & sound for the Xenon pinball game. Also, LOL at the peeps saying these sound better than modern synths... post-youtube lossy audio compression.
Apply this artistic behavior to form politics.. this discussion is great. I wish teachers, preacher and leaders communicated in harmony with their students. I would never befriend the teachers I grew up around. Today, I can see clearer with compassion. Thanks for this talk . Learning.
I watched 3 2 1 on PBS back then but don't remember if I saw this episode. I was only interested in rock music then, but in the late 80s I started getting into jazz and Dallas had some jazz on the radio and I heard The Velocity of Love and some of her other work and loved it!!
Five years before this our band instructor in junior high school introduced us to this...although we all thought is was interesting, none of us gave it a second thought.....
and also, Columbia Pictures Television Sunburst and the Coca-Cola Torch Lady The Sunburst was used on Barney Miller, Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island, Hart to Hart, SOAP, Benson and many others
also, the Coca-Cola Torch Lady in the 80's used on many shows like Fantasy, Mike Hammer, Houston Knights, Punky Brewster on syndication, T.J. Hooker, Crazy Like a Fox, Jennifer Slept Here and many others
This is the kind of interview she deserved that letterman dude was such and asshole who didn´t understood a single f 0 k and was mocking her the whole interview, this other girl interview is awesome 💕
Wow amazing video.I'm very curious if anyone knows exactly what the recording device is there on the right next to the studio engineer that he plays the recording sound from the guitar to, does know if it's analog or digital? This is the first time I have seen such a strange machine.
I wish the poster would have known to DEINTERLACE the video before uploading. If you're going to immortalize this amazing content, go for the best quality. Lovely video, but was a shame.
There are some questions that are geared more for the kiddies ("What's pitch?"), but overall, this is still a VERY good intro to subtractive analog synth. It's aged very, very well. I'd bet Suzanne Ciani is a very good teacher.
I could listen to Suzanne talk for centuries.
Me, too
This woman is AMAZING, plus she is so calm and her music is so relaxing
God Bless Her
"Welcome to Xenon"
my first ASMR ever!
no it would get old after 40 or 50 years
Yes, please.
Suzane's voice can put babies to sleep in a few minutes. Such a soothing voice. Havent heard a voice like hers in a while.
It's a voice type and cadence unheard of nowadays unfortunately. The last time I heard that type was in the early 1990s, just as grunge and other sound cancer was coming along.
The 100% opposite to the vocal fry inflected voices of today... @@roguerover7598
those eyes, that passion, just radiant, effortless beauty. good lord...
Yes indeed!!!
Jesus, 3 2 1 Contact was such a great show and this episode is just so amazing. I don't remember watching this, but I'm sure kid me would have been in love with all this. So, so cool!
Horrible, horrible show. Education masquerading as entertainment. And the snobs who tell everyone they like it. Pass!!
@@AF-dn2bz Is called EDUTAINMENT it has its own niche
I would have been blown away all this sintetizers are all too harmonic
@A F snobs? Cause they liked a kids show? Lol. Bitter mf's who take the time to watch and comment on shit they hate...pass.
42 years later and the whole studio fits on a 16 GB USB stick. How the time flies.
Yeah an OB-X And Prophet no way
We got convenience but not quality
Even new Analog versions don't sound as good
@@matthewferguson7084 The sound is always as good as the sound card you use. If you play a soft prophet with a 16 bit 44000kHz onboard sound card, then don't be surprised when it sounds shit.
Right! 😂
@@neurolepticer1284 over my head what you say..but I can tell when its those originals..feel it in my arms like when I see a pretty girl

And people using proper punctuation and grammar on the internet like if they’re getting graded
This is a master class from physichal of sound. Wow. And her voice just hipnotized me.
Suzanne is so brilliant! I love how she’s a great teacher with the ability to explain all these concepts so that someone not familiar with acoustics, engineering, or synthesis can understand.
Am I alone in wishing I were in that studio? Learning from Ms. Ciani then maybe doing a little jamming would be heaven on earth.
No. But am I alone in wanting to smoke whatever she was?
321 contact! I remember watching that show as a kid.
43 years later and I'm still learning from this show!
Suzzane Ciani is amazing. She transport to the future with her music.
Indeed. Seven Waves is timeless, for example.
I've worked for a decade in pop-science, learning gradually to explain things to people in a warm, relatable way that touches their personal curiosity and real everyday experience.

Her vocals are so soothing, it could have made a perfect vocal for her electronic music.
I was 4 in 1980 and do remember this PBS education show and the theme. Memories 🙂👍👍📽️
2 beautiful girls and music Done.
This takes me back and makes me so happy. Thank you, RUclips 🎉❤

i now have a crush on Suzanne Ciani
God, she’s beautiful 🤗
So brilliant seeing this, the cute interplay between the two women is very wholesome and engaging too.

She is beautiful and a genius

This episode might have set a place in your mind as a kid...this is an amezing full set of computers making soft sounds
6:55 the amazement in her eyes! The same way i look at my screen listening to this breathtaking sound. 😢
I used to get so excited whenever this film aired, and I was always in heaven (at 4:56) when the arpeggiated synth started! Peace.
Wow! Sometimes you come across people so in love with what they do and so increadibly knowledgeable and gifted at the same time.

03:04 - "I think I could handle that" + that laugh 😄
Amazing voice.
She’s such an Angel
crushing so hard lol
What a lovely soul!
Increíble entrevistadora, las preguntas correctas , increíble escuchar las respuestas
Suzanne Ciani possesses genius we don't yet deserve
Aw comon we're all in this together
I literally have not seen this since it was first released, yet I remembered it all my life. This is why RUclips rules
I just filed a copyright complaint against this video
@@jessihawkins9116 You're a loser :)
@@HAZARDOUS88 i reported this comment
@@jessihawkins9116 Hey, what a coincidence. I reported you too!
@@HAZARDOUS88 that’s not fair. take it back 😩
Far freaking out!!
Suzanne's voice is beautiful and mesmerizing ................ and Vern's hairdo is OUT OF SIGHT!! :-/
Her voice is soo smooth and elegant
I just discovered her yesterday on Letterman and instantly fell in love. Now after watching this, I'm more in love.
Suzanne Ciani in the USA and Peter Howell at the BBC In the UK were the sound and feel of 70s and 80s TV programs.
this video is simply incredible. Suzanne is so charming & kind. thank you for sharing.
I loved this segment as a kid watching 3-2-1 Contact on PBS. Also had fond memories of seeing another program where she's working on the music & sound for the Xenon pinball game.
Also, LOL at the peeps saying these sound better than modern synths... post-youtube lossy audio compression.
I want to know about the early influences and experiences in Suzanne Ciani's life which led her up to the point she was at in this video, and beyond.
It's impressive how Liz balanced an illustrious career at 321 Contact with her side job as a secretary at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
Shes amazing
In perspective - hear how we used to sound/speak before the 2000's. 1980- was a diff. time.
Apply this artistic behavior to form politics.. this discussion is great. I wish teachers, preacher and leaders communicated in harmony with their students. I would never befriend the teachers I grew up around. Today, I can see clearer with compassion. Thanks for this talk .
Learning.
School in the united states has changed little since Victorian era.
Suzanne is basically the face of the future, wow that's pretty cool 🆒😎
So kool that she also composed the sounds for the Xenon pinball machine
Thank you for putting this up.
Thanks for uploading this, really cool.
Everyone's looking and listening to Suzanne but I can't take my eyes of those PULTECS !!
I’m feeling a vibe between these two women.
Dude I KNOW. Something about the way they talk to each other, stand close together... it's oddly erotic
@@dangernoodle8102 It's just Suzanne's voice. She talks like this to everyone
@@headphonic8 Yeah but it's something between the sounds, between the images. A connection.
I saw this wayyyy back and totally forgot about it . Thanks for posting this
Two people genuinely having fun... with synthesizers in a studio. 🎹 :)
Great find!
Who does Vern’s hair? Amazing.
I remember seeing this when I was a little kid ❤
fantastic
thats awesome!
These sounds are forever burned into my brain since I was a kid
Getting close to sounding like Vangelis' Blade Runner! So this was 1980. A fantastic future ahead for her.
YES!! Or the genius "Spiral" album: ruclips.net/video/9VV1lWVhMCk/видео.html also by Vangelis.
Yeah I noticed that too. Was hoping it would keep going and going.
probably recorded in '79 and aired in '80
Top 10 video on RUclips
I watched 3 2 1 on PBS back then but don't remember if I saw this episode. I was only interested in rock music then, but in the late 80s I started getting into jazz and Dallas had some jazz on the radio and I heard The Velocity of Love and some of her other work and loved it!!
The reporter is in awe, truly!
I'm in awe.. :-)
3-2-1 Contact…so cool.
I could listen to her talk about synths all day
Love her
This was my show when I was little
Five years before this our band instructor in junior high school introduced us to this...although we all thought is was interesting, none of us gave it a second thought.....
The start of so much.
Is great that machine!!
This may be my imagination but I swear some of the musical ideas used in Blade Runner could be heard here, years before the movie came out.
Blade Runner started production in 1980, and the soundtrack is considered a masterpiece of synthesis.
I would like my girlfriend to look at me the same way.
Omg I felt in love
The woman behind the Columbia Pictures “Sunburst” logo!!
and also, Columbia Pictures Television Sunburst and the Coca-Cola Torch Lady
The Sunburst was used on Barney Miller, Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island, Hart to Hart, SOAP, Benson and many others
Home sick from school watching pbs because soap operas, Donahue and game shows didnt do it for a 7 year old.
I just learned of her music. I find this 321 contact video too? all is complete!
someone was having cocktails after they wrapped up the interview
Pure Joy 🤤
You remember the "sunburst" logo that Columbia Pictures Television used at the end of shows like Barney Miller?
She composed the jingle.
also, the Coca-Cola Torch Lady in the 80's used on many shows like Fantasy, Mike Hammer, Houston Knights, Punky Brewster on syndication, T.J. Hooker, Crazy Like a Fox, Jennifer Slept Here and many others
Nice!😉👍🏾
My dog loves the sounds in this vid
💜😍
I think I am in love
This is fascinating! Suzanne Ciana! Columbia Pictures Theme! Dayum!
i agree her voice IS somehow soothing
This is the kind of interview she deserved that letterman dude was such and asshole who didn´t understood a single f 0 k and was mocking her the whole interview, this other girl interview is awesome 💕
These synths sound better than modern synths.
📻💚💚📻
Liz Moses. ❤
AMSR before it was a "thing".
The OG ASMR
She lookes spaced out on some greens 😆😆🌲🌲🌲💨💨
That's what I thought too. ;)
03:11 badass hair
Wow amazing video.I'm very curious if anyone knows exactly what the recording device is there on the right next to the studio engineer that he plays the recording sound from the guitar to, does know if it's analog or digital? This is the first time I have seen such a strange machine.

OMG I used to watch 321 Contact. Where are they now ?
Hey! Did they say "Ti" instead of the note "Si" in the US until the 80's?! I have only seen this in music class books from the 60's...
4:18 is the moment she realizes she might go both ways.
This whole thing felt like it might turn into a porno at any second.
Dude 🤣🤣
True!
LOL. There was some cute flirting but nothing sexual I'm sure.
Sheesh and I thought I had a filthy mind.
4:34
well I think I got an eargasm just now
This was Alive From Off Center on PBS I thought... I vaguely recall 321 Contact.
Does anyone know the name of the track at the beginning?
There are some questions that are geared more for the kiddies ("What's pitch?"), but overall, this is still a VERY good intro to subtractive analog synth. It's aged very, very well. I'd bet Suzanne Ciani is a very good teacher.
как она на неё смотрит....
