Suzanne Ciani is a five-time Grammy-nominated composer, recording artist, and pioneer in the field of electronic music. She has released more than 15 albums and was one of the first women to score a major Hollywood film. In 1995, she established her own record label, Seventh Wave. Her work has been featured in countless commercials, video games, and feature films. In recent years, she returned to the Buchla after decades of successfully composing and performing at the piano, and continues to explore the world of synthesizers, including on her worldwide tours. The feature-length documentary film A Life In Waves about Suzanne Ciani’s innovative life in electronic music was released in 2017, when she was also the first woman to receive the Moog Innovation Award.
Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL, is a Grammy nominated and multiplatinum producer, a multi-intrumentalist, and composer. In 1993, he started the rock band Nerv and later produced several albums as JunkieXL. In 2002, Tom had a number one hit in 24 countries with his rework of A Little Less Conversation and has remixed artists such as Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake. Tom started creating film scores in his native Holland and has created music for various video games and advertising campaigns. His film scoring credits include Mad Max Fury Road, Deadpool, Divergent, and Brimstone, and he worked with Hans Zimmer on films such as
Man of Steel, Dark Knight Rises, and Inception.
Caterina Barbieri is a Berlin based Italian composer who explores themes related to machine intelligence and object oriented perception in sound, through a focus on minimalism. She holds a diploma in classical guitar and a bachelor’s degree in electroacoustic music from the conservatory of Bologna, Italy, as well as a bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Humanities and Philosophy of Bologna. Since 2013 she has researched and produced music at Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm, where she has intensively composed for the Buchla 200 system. Her work has been presented in festivals and venues all over the world, and her solo album Patterns of Consciousness received extensive critical acclaim.
Colin Benders is a Dutch musician, composer, and producer who is active in many genres and styles – previously at age 22 and under the name Kyteman. Colin released his award-winning debut album in 2009, describing it as a mix between hip-hop and jazz. Already a world-touring musician from age 17, he later founded the Kyteman Orchestra, often bringing up to 50 musicians and singers on stage. Colin developed the Kyteman Orchestra with an emphasis on live performances, especially those that were entirely improvised from scratch. After switching his focus to performance and composition with his modular system, Colin’s live video streams and live performances have attracted and engaged audiences all over the world.
