Suzanne Ciani’s Unpublished Atari Ad Jingle In New Video!

10/05/2023 By ausretrogamer

It is great being in touch with your childhood heroes, like Atari’s Howard Scott Warshaw.

Howard recently posted on his Facebook account about a video featuring the unpublished Atari ad jingle by Suzanne Ciani in stunning 3D animation. In case you didn’t know, Suzanne was the amazing electronic music composer that created the iconic soundtrack for Bally’s Xenon pinball machine!

This reimagined video featuring Suzanne’s jingle was created by the amazing and talented Philippe Lafortune of Retro Gamers Hub & The Geek Connoisseur fame.

Creating The Soundtrack For Bally’s Xenon Pinball

20/08/2021 By ausretrogamer

Ever wondered how those distinct pinball sound effects, speech and music were developed back in the day?

In this short early 80s documentary clip, renowned Electronic Music Composer, Suzanne Ciani, takes us through the creative process of putting together the iconic soundtrack for Bally’s Xenon pinball machine. By lending her voice to Xenon (as the female robot), Suzanne became the the first human female voice in a pinball game!

We absolutely love Suzanne’s body of aural work that spans across many mediums, including film and of course, pinball.

Welcome to Xenon!
