The Cologne Affair Welcomes Legendary Electronic Music Pioneer Suzanne Ciani, October 25th

The Cologne Affair is back Saturday, October 25th 10am ET – and we couldn’t be happier to welcome the legendary sound pioneer and analog synthesizer icon Suzanne Ciani to Cologne.
After her first visit to the city during Week-End Fest 2021, Ciani returned this time to stay a couple of days. Together with host Jan Lankisch, she spent a wonderful time — sharing meals, going to the cinema, and, of course, visiting the Cologne Cathedral, which she had never seen before.
But the main reason for Ciani’s visit was to play iconic Buchla concerts. In a brutalist church in Cologne’s northern district, the 79-year-old artist cast her spell over a sold-out audience.
Around the concert, there was plenty of time for deep conversations — about her early days in Los Angeles and New York in the 1970s, her work as a sound designer for commercials, and her collaborations with a new generation of musicians. Get ready for a truly special, intimate, and inspiring episode with one of the most remarkable musicians of the past fifty years.
