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 this programme being broadcast on International Women鈥檚 Day, Elizabeth pays tribute to the extraordinary sound pioneer 脡liane Radigue, who died in February, having done so much to expand the possibilities of electronic music. Elizabeth also plays new music from Hannah Peel in collaboration with percussionist Bei Bei Wang, and haunting cello loops from Laura Cannell, inspired by 13th-century monophony.
