Suzanne Ciani: Dancer in New York

About Suzanne Ciani

Suzanne Ciani is an American composer and sound designer who built her early career in the 1970s creating electronic music and custom sound work for film and commercial media. Her practice centers on synthesizers and spatial presentation, including long-running experiments with quadraphonic setups. A five-time Grammy nominee in the New Age field, she has remained active as a performer and label executive while shaping the modern ambient vocabulary. At New York City’s The Shed, her live sets favor precision and architecture over spectacle.
