Five-time Grammy award-nominated composer Suzanne Ciani, an icon and early pioneer of electronic music composition, joins producer Darren J. Cunningham, aka Actress, to perform Concrète Waves – the kind of collaboration that only floats to shore once in a lifetime. Ciani's first commercial album, Seven Waves (1982) wafted amidst the soothing and playful movements of seafoam – drawing on ocean metaphors to create a bubbling, synthesised body of work. With Concrète Waves, Actress and Ciani – with her signature Buchla synthesiser in tow – return to this concept. Cunningham's productions as Actress transport musique concrète into the twenty-first century, creating what he terms "R&B concrète" – where atmospheric scenes of twinkling ambience and furrowed noise meet sodium-lit field recordings and bassy warped drum sequences. In contrast to this practice – which is painted upon a backdrop of post-industrial urban life – Ciani evokes the natural world in her music. Although the duo offer a swell of contradictions, what they do share is a rare ability to build atmosphere and environment through electronics, texture, and timbre. It is in the overlapping middle-points between the natural and the metropolitan that their sound dwells – where roots entangle city infrastructure or, indeed, where the ocean waves crash up into modern life. Actress & Suzanne Ciani will perform an exclusive show at Amare during Rewire 2026.
