Suzanne Ciani is a revolutionary musician and sound creator of the past, as well as the present, one I was very honored to host on this Podcast. Her incredible career as a sound designer, composer and producer, playing the 'Buchla' and specializing in quadraphonic sound, earned her nicknames like "Diva of the Diode" and "America's first female synth hero". Her résumé is rich with appearances on Television (The David Letterman Show), Radio and live in Theaters, Stadiums and all over the World, doing what she does in a unique and perfect way. I recommend listening carefully to her voice, taking notes, and researching at the same time, if you are able to. Enjoy!
