Tonight’s show features the work of Suzanne Ciani, the “Delia Derbyshire of the Atari generation”. Suzanne Ciani is a pioneering composer of electronic music who, since the mid-70s has been making use of banks of modular synths (particularly Don Buchla’s generative synthesis systems) as well as her own “voice box” to compose music for adverts, corporate logos and of course the Xenon pinball machine. We also have more from F.C. Judd, a new release from Jon Brooks, a Mooged-up version of Caravan, some ambient exotica from G.E.S., an 8-bit version of an 80s detective series and another track from Music Minus Music.
