Suzanne Ciani is an early pioneer of electronic music in the United States. She earned a master’s degree in composition at the University of California at Berkeley and collaborated with Stanford University’s John Chowning and Max Matthews, two of the founders of electronic music. In the early 1970s, she began working with synthesizer designer Don Buchla, and her knowledge and passion for the Buchla synthesizer led to a very successful career as a synthesizer player and commercial sound designer. Throughout the ’70s, her work led to the creation of iconic sounds for commercials and video games. In 1981, Ciani became the first woman to score a major full-length Hollywood release, Lily Tomlin’s The Incredible Shrinking Woman.
