Update: I should note that there is Buchla in this video, a Music Easel, and a particularly amazing example of the original 200 being played in a more traditional role. It sounds similar to the classic Vangelis CS80 brass pad. I think Ciani's got a bigger toy than Vangelis. : )Title link takes you to a video episode featuring Suzanne Ciani on 3-2-1 Contact. Funny, I remember watching the show when I was a kid. Not sure if I saw the episode with Ciani though.
"The Children's Television Workshop produced an interesting science education show called 3-2-1 Contact that was aired in many PBS markets from 1980 to 1992.
One of the main characters visited Suzanne’s small studio for an interesting observation of sounds. This presentation was shown before another musical guest, Dizzy Gillespie (shown for a brief second) began performing on his trumpet.
Amazingly, Suzanne’s name doesn’t appear on the list of guest stars on tv.com’s website. We are assuming that this video appeared in January 1980 during the show’s first season. Hopefully, this video may stir some discussions among the fans of 3-2-1 Contact.."
YEAH! I watched it during my childhood days!
