Suzanne Ciani
Xenon
FKSP020

Greg Kmiec’s Xenon pinball machine was released in 1980 and marked a significant milestone in pinball technology and design. The expansion of microchip technology would provide new opportunities for sound designer and synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani, allowing for basic oscillator control and a wider scope for sampling capacity which could facilitate the higher frequencies of a female human voice and entirely reshape the concept of the machine in the process. By using state of the art Synclavier synthesiser technology and an invaluable experience in film scoring and record production Suzanne would devise a complete minimal music score for the machine, then dissect the piece into separate fragments that would be triggered throughout the game play adding an extra creative dimension in player inter-activity (potentially turning the participant into their own musical arranger). By incorporating her own infamous voice box (which had been the focus of a seminal David Letterman Show feature) Suzanne’s combination of a harmoniser and a vocoder also provided the first-ever female identity to a pinball machine which in conjunction with the games ergonomic design and Paul Faris’ figurative graphics (echoing the aesthetic of Rene Laloux and Roland Topor’s La Planète Sauvage) Xenon was able to add a degree of subconscious sensuality to its performance, a feature previously unchartered in arcade development.

This disc presents the full extent of Suzanne Ciani’s groundbreaking musical effects for Xenon, in their isolated form, for the first time ever heard outside of the confines of the machine which recently earned the composer her own induction to the Pinball Expo Hall Of Fame.

Forms Of Complaint w. Jay Glass Dubs [06.12.2021]

"I am waking up, moving through deep layers of sleep–my dream changes-a lively band is playing over in the corner of the room-a small dance floor."

Dreamy mix by @martaoliva out on @radioalhara ♥
Our imagery is dedicated to the great master of Eros: Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Publishing Station x Radio Alhara w/Marta Oliva 8.11.22

This mix originally aired in November 2022 on @soundecology1 radio c/o @fobbyjindal. Below you'll find a text I wrote about its composition:

"Years ago, I went to a lecture at York University by the filmmaker and scholar Mike Hoolboom. He gave this razor sharp talk on the idea of the first cut- the first cut into a project- the first gesture towards an idea. For him, no matter how dislocated a project got from its root causation- it would always at its heart, hold that root through to the very end. The first cut is always the deepest.

For this mix– I was interested in this idea of the First Cut in the face of imminent ecological collapse. How the first cut in our Planetary Crisis predates my body and is therefore unknowable to my body. And yet, it is from the place of embodiment that I meet our changing world.

On that note, it’s been an unseasonably warm November here in Toronto and my body’s feeling haunted. So for this episode, I’ve put together a mix of sonic hauntings. Bone shaking music– that pulses, throbs and rattles the body. Music from the depths of the heart that charts worlds real and imagined. I don’t have any answers, but I hope you’ll see this mix as a sort of research methodology into the act of listening. Listening as a way seeing or clairvoyance- as a way of considering what our world sounds like and perhaps what it is that we’re mourning. I named this mix after a pamphlet I recently found: From Electrical Fire Spirits May Be Kindled."

Sensual Pills: a series of mixtapes around the topic of sensuality. 
How do we approach sensuality now during this weird time of no-contact and distance regulations? How can we talk about it without experiencing its physicality? Did your idea of erotism change? What is sexy for you? And most important: Can you translate it to music?
We want to feel sensuality, we want to share our thoughts out loud, dance in the name of it till we are damn sweating, and so on and so forth.
