In this video, via Spitfire Audio, composer and synthesist Suzanne Ciani gives an in-depth demonstration of how she composes using a Buchla 200e modular synthesizer.

Ciani discusses her inspirations, her approach to synthesis and how she uses her modular system. Her performance system is based around a large Buchla 200e modular synthesizer, a pair of Eventide H9 effects units that have been modified to work with her Buchla, and iPad tablets, used as synthesizers and controllers.

Ciani also talks about how she uses her tools to synthesize sounds and place them in quadraphonic space to meet her compositional goals.
