Thank you so much for your interest in the rare item. There were only 227 available, numbered. Many were available at CyKiK.com directly, some at special events and some were available via select record stores such as Ace Hotel (see Ace Blog interview with Suzanne by Julianna Barwick too), Third Man Records and the LACMA Store. For pre-orders we took special requests on specific numbers.

This is a live recording that was performed by Suzanne Ciani in San Francisco on March 5, 2016. It was Suzanne's first solo Buchla performance in 40 years and was played on a Buchla 200e System. As all of Suzanne's Buchla performances, the performance was quadraphonic. Suzanne has since toured the world, exclusively in Quad.

The release of this 180g vinyl disc is also quadraphonic and includes a hardware decoder manufactured with Involve Audio to decode two channels of audio from the vinyl disc back to the four-channel recording with stunning results. We're very excited to share it with you and hope that it will inspire you to compose in spatial sound.
