New Album, Buchla Now, Features Modular Music From Suzanne Ciani, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Steve Horelick & Others

To celebrate its 5th year and 20th release, cassette label Ultraviolet Light has cooked up something truly special: Buchla Now, a collection of new music created on synthesizers designed by Don Buchla.

Buchla Now features music from Marcia Bassett, Suzanne Ciani, Dan Deacon, Jonathan Fitoussi, Steve Horelick, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Hans Tammen, and compilation curator Todd Barton.

Ciani once said of Don Buchla that his “unique mindset allowed him to be outside the popular notion of what electronic music was.” Each of the featured artists, in their own way, carries on this tradition of boundary-pushing music, expanding the notion of what music can be.

You can preview the album below. It’s available on cassette via the label and digitally via Bandcamp:
