It is a bold, immersive meeting of the Buchla electronic instrument and 50-piece orchestral sound. The result is a sweeping sonic landscape, at once intimate and monumental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUnder the direction of the Metropole Orkest, renowned for its genre-defying collaborations with artists from jazz to contemporary classical - strings shimmer, brass swells and woodwinds echo the organic, fluid qualities that have always defined Ciani’s sound. “This project feels like a homecoming,” says Ciani. “The Buchla was always orchestral to me, an instrument capable of infinite color. Hearing those colors unfold through the Metropole Orkest has been profoundly moving.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt the heart of CIANI\/ORKEST lies Ciani’s lifelong commitment to quadraphonic sound.

Working alongside immersive producer \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cykik.com\/whois\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKamranV\u003c\/a\u003e, Ciani continues to explore immersive sound as both artistic and human gesture. Kamran’s decades of work in spatial formats, converge here in service of a singular goal: to let sound behave as it does in the physical world. “For both of us, quad is musical,” Kamran notes. “The way Suzanne works, quadraphonic is nested in — not the technology per se — but the intent you bring to the work.”\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe recording stands as a meditation on legacy, evolution, and the enduring dialogue between technology and human expression. The live album captures the electricity of performance, the immediacy of touch plates under Ciani’s hands, the collective of musicians responding in real time, and the audience’s shared immersion in quadraphonic-inspired space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCIANI\/ORKEST is released by Atmospheric\/AKP Recordings\/CyKiK in multiple double-disc quadraphonic 12” Record packages designed by grammy-nominated designer \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/byarce.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRebeka Arce\u003c\/a\u003e: Lenticular Gatefold, 52-Page wooden agamograph-cover Book written by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jessicahundley.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJessica Hundley\u003c\/a\u003e + designed with \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.knowhowshopla.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKnowhow Shop\u003c\/a\u003e \u0026amp; a Bespoke, one-of one lacquer cut by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.berniegrundmanmastering.com\/scott-sedillo.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eScott Sedillo\u003c\/a\u003e at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.berniegrundmanmastering.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBernie Grundman Mastering\u003c\/a\u003e with in a custom Marquetary box designed with Mouret Lejeune.
