SUZANNE CIANI & KAITLYN AURELIA SMITH

Eight years on from their meeting and recording, these sublime, expansive synergies still retain their potent transportive power, now expanded with the bonus track 'retrograde'.

Sunergy was recorded in 2015 in the home where Ciani has now lived for the last three decades. Her living room overlooks the Pacific Ocean from a cliffside perch, creating an idyllic, inspired setting for music making. Setting up their synthesizers side-by- side, Ciani and Smith took turns keeping time and freely improvising for the album sessions. As a complete piece, Sunergy is shaped by slow, pulsing forms and sinuous, melodic sequences that conjure both an oceanic world and the unlimited sound made possible by modular processing.
