The Syanna Project:
Decades of commitment result in a lifestyle where music meets spiritual evolution.
It's an ever ongoing process.
The Spiritual factor
is the major ingredient of my music.
No need to listen carefully: you will feel the effect when you're ready for it!
The Unexpected...
I believe that music, composed with the best of intentions, can bring about changes on a deeper level.
The Dance factor
Dance. Let yourself go. Feel the vibes! Can you imagine of a better way to move body AND mind?
Why a Project ?
Creation = inspiration + technical skills. They form one solid unity:
1. Syanna : composer and singer/songwriter
The major drive behind my music is, and has always been spirituality.
When I connect to my source of inspiration and the flow kicks in, I transform what I sense and feel into music and lyrics.
My music is a personal interpretation of what I am 'receiving'. The theme may be crystal clear, it has to be put into to proper lyrics. I am, in a certain way, led by a higher intelligence :-)
Sometimes the music has a strange effect on me. Whether it happens while composing, listening or dancing, I immediately recognize the signal. So I take a break, sit down and simply let it happen.
It took me a while to understand how music affects this part of ourselves we barely know. But the emotions tell it all.
Here's how it works: our subconscious mind grasps what the mind cannot perceive... and reacts in a way that doesn't always make sense.
Yes. Some songs do have a mysterious effect on the mind. But here's the question: does my music only serve my own evolution? That's why I decided to publish some of my tracks on the net. Wait and see...
2. The Project : all the other stuff
Already during the creative process, my technical side jumps in. Musical compositions need lots of tweaking and fine-tuning.
I often look for gear or plugins that could be useful. There's always something new to get acquainted with.
Appealing graphics are part of the deal: they add value to the website and everything else. Once again, imagination is the keyword... Could AI ever be capable to put on paper what your mind invents?
Since Youtube is a very important channel, it's ideal for publishing songs and movies. That's why I started a channel.
'Electronic dance' is my main genre, but may vary depending on the message.
Here's an interesting thought: I can return to the past if I want to breathe new life into an older track... I am the owner of a vast collection of unpublished material ;-)
I started with pop-rock, did some ethereal stuff (an excellent example is the song 'Chaos'), then switched to tracks with a dance-beat. I also composed 'White Sky', music written for a documentary about the recovery of a WW-II airplane.
Composed with the technology of today, my music sounds quite actual. But if you listen carefully, you will hear echoes from the past.
Which style will I adopt in the future? Nobody knows. I already made the switch to Techno, because I fell in love with the pumping rhythms and mesmerising basslines of the genre. This is definitely something I hàd to try!
At this moment in life, every element of human existence is in place:
Past - Present - Future.
Are you curious about the songs, the messages? Just give it a go. You never know if something attracts YOUR attention!

My most recent tracks
Invisible
The 5th dimension is here, more present and tangible than ever!
But here's the problem: it's invisible...
A Long Way
We've come a long way, but there's still a lot to do. Even if wars and violence reign everywhere, we continue our path and carry on with our invisible work.
Finally
The signs are everywhere. Our world is slowly coming to an end. Seemingly beyond salvation, hope is glimmering on the horizon. Finally!
My most important gear
Digital audio workstation:
Apple Macbook Pro 16" M4 max
This is my most important piece of kit. A delight to work with! It's fast and beautiful.
I don't regret having bought this suberp piece of technology: it literally handles everything!
Sound stuff:
Yamaha MG10XU Mixing panel :
A small but powerful allrounder. It's not only a mixing panel, but also an external soundcard. It works perfectly with Logic.
My Adam A7 studio speakers may be a slightly outdated, they still sound very okay to my ears.
My recently bought Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro headphones are considered to be THE standard in music production.
Other important stuff:
Novation Launchkey mk 2
Why put a weighty, full-size synth on your desk if this tiny thing does the job? Its ultra-compact size makes everything so much lighter! I also like the coloured tiles a lot.
It even fits under my computer keyboard when not in use: neat!
