Electronic legends Ciani and Actress explore the tension between humans and machines
A groundbreaking live collaboration between two big names from avant-garde electronic music: the five-time Grammy nominated composer Suzanne Ciani and Actress, one of today’s most singular and influential electronica producers.
Over the course of their careers, both have shown an unrelenting desire to create inimitable musical environments and experiences with their projects. Ciani fills the space with irrepressibly swelling sound waves, synthesiser melodies and sound colours, which express a longing for connectedness and communication in a deeply personal and almost spiritual way. Conversely, the contrasting sound of Actress feels very industrial and raw, and creates a highly idiosyncratic rhythmic framework with recordings of city sounds.
What unites Actress and Ciani is the totally unique essence of their musical universe. In combining the power of their similarities and differences, a brand new, quadraphonic collaboration is born, in which they paint groundbreaking electronic landscapes in an immersive experience.
