Hotel Luna Luna Hotel

< p>Soon after the release of Velocity of Love, Suzanne Ciani began recording Hotel Luna with fiddler Steve Kindler, percussionist Kurt Wortman, flutist Peter Gordon, and guitarist John Wheelock. The performance is added to the rich tunes of Ciani's synthesizer and piano, and beautiful tracks with a worldly flavor like "Maremosso" are more realistic against the background of flute and violin solos. There are no surprises in the stormy sounds that penetrate "Rain", but its ticking keyboard sound is nonetheless well done. Ciani has made better use of her creative talent in music texture. An avant-garde electronic music pioneer like her seems to know in her heart where to use human sensibility instead of technical sound effects. She used this experience to give "Love Song" a modest elegance and juxtapose it with "Simple Song." The lively synth vocals and loud synth brass that pop up in this song sound unstoppable against the electronic background that permeates the song. Later, Ciani's pop sense dominates the beautiful and smooth tune of "L'Azzuro", which is incredibly romantic. Kindler's violin is woven into Gordon's flute, unified by Ciani's catchy synth sounds. These are Ciani's most accomplished works to date, and shine brightly within the album's themes of romance and memory.

Neverland

Suzanne started her music career when she was 7 years old. After her mother bought her a collection of classical music at a product sale near her home, Suzanne was immediately deeply attracted by the beautiful music of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. As the third of six children in the family , Suzanne found a small space of her own, that is, teaching herself to play the piano and learn music theory. Suzanne's debut work was "Seven Waves" released in 1982, which was translated into Chinese as "Tide of Love". Suzanne's works have strong personal characteristics, are soft and refined, and use piano and electronic synthesizers flexibly and beautifully.

Each of her piano movements is composed by herself, and she also participates in arranging, producing, recording and copywriting.

The "Neverland" album released in 1988 is her third album and the first of her four Grammy Award nominations for Best New Age Music Album. The title song of the first album "Neverland" I translate as "Neverland" or "Dream Country". Suzanne gives full play to the dreamy color of electronic synthesizers. The melody transition that occurs in 20 seconds will pave the way for the opening single note playing with the warm tone of the synthesizer until it reaches the climax of the music at 1 minute and 06 seconds. The melody is repeated throughout the song, gentle yet brisk, and contains the explosive power of the synthesizer. The fourth song "Aegean Sea" is also a beautiful musical landscape. The sound of ocean waves imitated by the synthesizer appears in the music from time to time. You can feel the gentleness from the melody of the music without closing your eyes. The caress of the waves. Although the whole song lasts 5 minutes and 27 seconds, it is also a short repetitive tune. This repetitive playing, like the waves, comes over and over again, which is very expressive. My favorite song in the whole album is the fifth song "Summer's Day". The jumping music brings out not the heat wave in summer, but a cool and refreshing feeling! This makes me admire Suzanne's composition skills and her skillful use of synthesizer sound libraries.

The Velocity of Love

I was bored in front of my computer, searching for something that could make me feel. Suddenly, in an inconspicuous directory, I found I have the mp3 of this album, I have forgotten when I downloaded it. But the first thing I felt after opening the music with winamp was an ethereal feeling. The more I listened to the melody, the more familiar it became, and I started looking for his information. What I didn’t expect was that this was an electronic new age music piece from 1984. , Suzanne Ciani is a music master that I want to understand but have no way of understanding. When I was looking for some "old" Newage references in AMG, Suzanne Ciani's album "The Velocity of Love" was put on my list. Now I found it accidentally, which makes people a little excited, but the interesting thing is that in the company of this kind of music, I can't get excited... haha. Comfort and enjoyment are indeed the essence of Newage. Unknowingly, I realized this power. I began to taste this music carefully. Because of the age relationship, I am in the 21st century and I only have a certain understanding of the music of 20 years ago. A feeling of reverence, but now it is complete admiration.

I don’t know how to describe it: after 20 years, there is no feeling of separation. I like that kind of illusive feeling. When ywininfo speaks out, the barriers disappear and people become more involved.

Everyone’s appreciation is different. Some people may sneer at electronic music, while others highly praise it. In fact, appreciating music should be judged by the artistic conception expressed by the music and the real feeling it gives people. Simply speaking from a classification perspective is a bit one-sided. I think this is a sample piece of music, why do you say that? The feeling of familiarity in the music is indeed very strong, and the familiar melody always surrounds my ears. However, I can conclude that I have never been exposed to the music in this album before, so the only explanation is that some musicians have imitated this classic The melody of the album has also been widely recognized and spread to the world...

The very best of Suzanne Ciani Collection
