Suzanne Ciani's Listening Chair
Elizabeth Alker picks new releases from the world of ambient music. Plus legendary synth composer Suzanne Ciani shares a piece of music that transports her elsewhere.
Elizabeth Alker welcomes Suzanne Ciani to the Unclassified Listening Chair to share a track that transports her elsewhere. Suzanne is certainly one of the most important figures in the development of electronic music, an early meeting with engineer Don Buchla leading to a long association with the modular synth he developed. Her ongoing work - appearing across five decades in adverts, films and games as well as on albums - has been nominated five times for a Grammy Award.
Elsewhere in the programme, Elizabeth shares the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.
