Headlining the 2019 edition of Lapsus Festival, Ciani delivered her live performance with the Buchla 200e synthesizer inside an immersive sound environment designed by Intorno Labs.
Reminiscing on the performance, Ciani describes it as “an improvisation that I began using in the ’70s and continue to use now as raw material. Each performance based on this material has its own expression and one could liken it to jazz.”
It follows Ciani’s 1973 soundtrack to a documentary on skiing, titled Music For Denali, which is being released for the first time via Finders Keepers this August.
