Tonight, the "diva of the diode" Suzanne Ciani. Hannah meets the composer who was christened 'America鈥檚 first female synth hero' and brought a swirl of sounds and circuitry into the mainstream, as well as into people's TV through her work in advertising such as creating Coca Cola's famous pop and pour sound effect.

Hannah chats to Suzanne about her career and sits down with composer and producer Marta Salogni to explore some of Suzanne's musical techniques.
