ACFNY & Dame Electric Present: Suzanne Ciani, Antenes & E. Indigo

About

The Austrian Cultural Forum and Dame Electric offer a rare opportunity to witness legendary analog synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani perform her first solo concert in New York in over 30 years. Ciani will play her Buchla synthesizer live, coupled with video projections that will enable the audience to follow her working process close up. The evening will be supplemented by an opening set from modern synth masters E. Indigo and Antenes premiering their first live collaboration. Founded and curated by thereminist Dorit Chrysler and supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum New York, Dame Electric focuses on pioneering women in electronic analog music.

Suzanne Ciani is a five-time Grammy award nominated composer, electronic music pioneer, and neo-classical recording artist whose work has been featured in countless commercials, video games, and feature films. Over the course of her 30+ year career, she has released 15 solo albums, including the live electronic album retrospective, Buchla Concerts 1975. Sunergy, Ciani’s forthcoming collaborative album with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, will be released on September 16, 2016 via RVNG’s FRKWYS imprint.

DJ, producer and electronics artist Antenes operates a laboratory of self-made sequencers and modular synthesizers built in the name of rhythmic, sonic, and spatial exploration. A Brooklyn resident by way of Chicago, Antenes' eclectic vinyl DJ sets dive into acid-laced techno, shimmering electro, shadowy atmospheres and beyond, with a particular ear for odd percussions and syncopations.

Vienna/Berlin-based artist Electric Indigo reps an intelligent and distinguished interpretation of techno and electronic music. As a composer and musician, she creates music for concert spaces, clubs, and sound installations, emphasizing the spatial-temporal placement of subtly elaborated sounds and structures, often generated from speech recordings.
