Notes:
In the late 70s/early 80s, Suzanne Ciani, while living in New York, acquired an Eventide H 949 harmonizer, which offered high fidelity pitch-shifting. With the pitch to 0.80, Ciani's natural voice became re-invented as a gay man, who she called Steve. Ciani adopted the male persona and collaborated with Peter Baumann of Tangerine Dream on “Steve Goes to a Party.” Steve would emerge again a few years later at George Louvis’s Stardust Studios in New Jersey, to create “Steve Saves the World,” an absurdist and ecstatic proto-house groover complete with a gospel-esque chorus from the Stardust All-Stars. The EP is rounded out by a birthday wish to Ciani’s then-boyfriend Alfred on “Steve Happy Birthday Wishes”, featuring Suzanne.
The EP comes with a birthday card featuring liner notes by Suzanne Ciani.
