Finders Keepers Records presents the first-ever vinyl pressing of Suzanne Ciani’s groundbreaking Buchla synthesizer performance, recorded 50 years ago in a New York art gallery. This archival release showcases Ciani’s pioneering, experimental work that reshaped music technology and challenged social norms, marking her as a true trailblazer and the first woman to revolutionize electronic music. Originally a live sonic installation rather than a traditional record, these forgotten recordings stand alongside the works of Morton Subotnick and Wendy Carlos, highlighting Ciani’s lasting influence on sound and gender in music history. This release sheds light on a long-overlooked chapter of musical innovation, inviting listeners to rediscover the origins of electronic artistry.
