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.

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.

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.

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.
