Buchla and beyond with synth legend Suzanne Ciani | Signal Flow Podcast Ep10

video upload by Signal Sounds

"We were beyond delighted that the legendary Suzanne Ciani paid a visit to our Glasgow showroom ahead of her performance as part of Sonica 2026. Luke and Tom spoke to her about being synonymous with Buchla, and her long career in electronic music - from building synths in California in the 1960s to collaborating with Actress and continuing to tour the world with her 200-series system. Big thanks to Su ‘SHHE’ Shaw and Jenn at Electric Shores for setting this up for us.

10/4/26 (3 speeds) JRB BCBF BCRV + Buchla 132 258d 281 244 292r + TTMC 5 Step + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"10/4/26 (3 speeds) JRB BCBF & BCRV + Buchla 132 & 258d & 281 & 244 & 292r + Tokyo Tape Music Center 5 Strp Sequencer + CXM 1978

We got another Eardrill 041 loaded with JRB module modules, so now we have two VCBF Bandpass filters. Some trades led to another 281 function generator. This video contains three takes from a series of tests of the new modules. The 292r runs through the JRB VCRV reverb, which is being modulated by the 281, and then out to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where there is a stereo reverb delay blended on the CXM 1978."

The Modular Synthesizers of Don Buchla - System 100, 200, 200e

video upload by HAINBACH

"At my recent residency at EMS Elektronenmusikstudio in Stockholm I had the rare chance to experience the modular synthesizers of Don Buchla first hand. From an exact replica of the System 100, an original system 200, a large mixed System 200 and the more recent 200e, it felt like travelling through time. Join me on this trip, and have a listen to my 'Buchla Stories' EP here:"

Explaining and testing the 277t by Tiptop Audio & Buchla

video upload by Stazma and Tiptop Audio

"Today we welcome the 277t in the 200t line. This is the "Signal Delay Unit", a module that was never finished by Don Buchla but was cloned many times due to it's awesome interface and minimal but interesting feautre set.

It is a really a 'naked' delay module as it everyhting from mixing the dry and wet to feedback has to be patched manualy, opening up a lot of creative decisions and happy accidents."

4ms Podcast Ep. 5: Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

video upload by 4ms Company

"Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith found her voice when a neighbor lent her a Buchla 100 synthesizer in 2011. Buchla, and other vintage rare synthesizers became the heart of a body of work that includes Euclid, Ears (named one of the best albums of 2016 by Pitchfork, NPR Music, and Resident Advisor), The Kid, The Mosaic of Transformation, Let's Turn It Into Sound, and last year's Gush and Thoughts on the Future as well as her upcoming album RUIN: It’s Not Just Music - which comes out Oct 2nd.

She's made records with synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani (Sunergy), composer Emile Mosseri (I Could Be Your Dog / I Could Be Your Moon), and Hot Chip's Joe Goddard (Neptunes). She's remixed Max Richter, Perfume Genius, Danny Elfman, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, been remixed by Four Tet, and scored the film Omni Loop, starring Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Edebiri.

This year she launched her own label, Someone Special, and its first release is her new album, Ruin: It's Not Just Music, out Oct 2nd - which is a Drum and Bass inspired album.

In this episode we get deeper with Kaitlyn's background, philosophy, and creative process."

How Ziggy got its name. A look back at the graphics development.

video upload by Joel Davel

"An informal video to definitively answer the question of what motivated the creation of and the naming of the Buchla Ziggy as demonstrated in screenshots.

Credit to Jim Phillips for the alien in his 1974 Easel Weasel poster and to Dan McAnulty for implementing the firmware and improving the UI that makes Ziggy possible. (And of course Don Buchla whose design this draws from.)"

"I'm really enjoying this configuration of my little Buchla system.

No external effects used.

Headphones or good speakers recommended."
