Suzanne Ciani - Live at Villa Lontana (2025) (Hi-Res)

This release includes the live recording of Suzanne Ciani’s quadraphonic sound performance held on 16 June 2023 in Rome.
On a stage raised above water and surrounded by four stone sphinxes, Ciani performed "Improvisation on Four Sequences" in the garden of Villa Lontana, responding to its natural environment. Using dials, knobs and patch cords, the “Diva of the Diode” engages in an elegant dance with the Buchla 200e to produce her groundbreaking electronic music, while always remaining true to her classically inspired sense of melody. This vinyl is QUARK encoded to play in both stereo and Regular Matrix quadraphonic sound. The digital version offers a two-channel master drawn from the same immersive recording. QUARK is made possible by dublab & the National Endowment for the Arts.
