Suzanne Ciani is a composer, recording artist, and pioneer in the field of electronic music and sound design. She is best loved for her eleven albums of original music which feature her performances in a broad array of expressions: pure electronic, solo piano, piano with orchestra, and piano with jazz ensemble. Her music, reknowned for its romantic, healing, and aesthetic qualities, has found a rapidly growing international audience, and her performances include numerous benefits for humanitarian causes.

Currently Ciani resides in Northern California where, in 1995, she established her own record label, Seventh Wave. Ciani felt the need to own and control her own creative work. "In many ways, this label represents the culmination of the long journey of my evolution as a recording artist," says Ciani.

In the eighties and early nineties, in order to finance her recording projects, Ciani brought her expertise to Madison Avenue. Her New York-based commercial production company, Ciani-Musica, Inc., was the leader in the field of sound design and TV spot scoring, creating award-winning music for a host of high profile Fortune 500 clients, including Coca-Cola, Merrill Lynch, AT&T, and General Electric. Additionally, Ciani has scored the Lily Tomlin feature 'The Incredible Shrinking Woman', and 'Mother Teresa', as well as scoring for the TV daytime serial 'One Life to Live'.

In the early nineties Ciani re-located to northern California to concentrate on her artistic career from her sea-side studio. She has toured throughout the United States, Italy, Spain, and Asia.

Her many recognitions include five Grammy nominations for Best New Age Album, an Indie nomination for Best New Age Album, numerous Clios, a Golden Globe, and Keyboard Magazineâs "New Age Keyboardist of the Year."

Ciani is a graduate of Wellesley College and holds a Masters in Music Composition from the University of California at Berkeley.

  • A CD for the Season
    author: Susan

    A Very Green Christmas is mindful of what this season is supposed to be about.....peace. The songs flow seamlessly together in a quiet, serene presence. The lovely, familiar melodies are presented simply without the gaudiness that so often accompanies holiday arrangements. And as such, we are bathed by the beauty of the tunes themselves. This is not a CD to get you "rockin' around the Christmas trees," snapping your fingers while dancing with fake reindeer antlers atop your head. This is gift to give yourself as you sit quietly or work on a task. It's a CD that works as a soothing background (and no, this is most definitely NOT "elevator music"). By the end of the CD, I would imagine that blood pressures would drop, deep breaths would be taken, and for just a while, people would be happy to just be still and recommit themselves to this season of peace. This is a terrific collection and presentation of music.....buy it, if for no other reason than to provide balance as you're assailed with all the other jarring, jolly, jolting, jiving sounds you'll hear this month.

  • Just a great Christmas CD
