The Syanna Project:
Decades of commitment result in a lifestyle where music meets personal evolution.
It's an ever ongoing process.
The Spiritual factor
is the major ingredient of my music.
You might just feel the vibes, even if you're not listening carefully!
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. Also, a project leaves plenty of room for the unexpected. It could be a radical change of style, working with other artists, …
1. Syanna : composer and singer/songwriter
My major drive has always been spirituality. At first I wasn’t really aware of this fact; I just wrote what came into my mind without thinking too much. It all became much clearer as I evolved.
When I connect to my source of inspiration, the flow kicks in. I translate what I receive, it's as simple as that. It feels as if a higher level is interfering… but I'm not always aware of it.
I also experience strange reactions when composing, listening or dancing. It took me a while to understand that music has the power to affect a part of ourselves we barely know.
Our subconscious mind grasps what the mind cannot perceive... and reacts in a way that doesn't always make sense.
If music has such a mysterious effect on the mind, how about my own music? Does it only serve my own evolution? Is there something more to it?
2. The Project : the ‘other’ stuff
My technical side already kicks in during the creative process: dance music needs lots of tweaking and automation… and patience!
Working with other artists is a real boost for my creativity and knowledge. As a result, I've learnt new stuff and other methods. It even made me adapt my style, because I fell in love with the pumping, mesmerizing beats of (Melodic) Techno!
I often look for gear or plugins that make life easier. I also designed the graphics for my logo and website.
‘Dance - EDM - Melodic techno' is my most important genre, but may vary depending on my mood.
Did you know that I can always return to the past? I regularly breathe new life into older tracks. But... in order to do this, you have to own lots of unpublished material ;-)
Back in the days I started with pop-rock, did some ethereal stuff (the song 'Chaos' is a nice example), then changed to dance. 'White Sky' was composed for a documentary about the recovery of a WW-II airplane.
Composed with the technology of today, my music sounds quite actual. Yet the echoes of the past are very present. Every track that I am composing now, might just serve me in the future!
During the process, 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 latest tracks
Invisible
The 5th dimension is approaching. There's only one problem: it's invisible...
A Long Way
We've come a long way. And there's still so much to do! Wars and violence reign once again, but we stay firmly on the chosen path.
Finally!
The signs are everywhere: the world as we knew it, is slowly coming to an end. Seemingly beyond salvation, hope is glimmering on the horizon. Finally!
My tracks
Invisible : : The 5th dimension does exist, but human beings are unable to perceive it. I always believed in a better world, another reality... could this be it?
A long way : : The road to perfection is long and full of obstacles. It takes a lifetime, only to discover that life is not what we always thought it'd be. When will we understand that we don't need to go anywhere?
Finally! : : The old world is slowly collapsing, the new world not yet in place... So, we're waiting eagerly!
Era of Despair : : This sad era lasted way too long. The desire for an other, better world has become stronger than ever. This is the end of an Era of Despair !
Day and Night : : I try to describe what the transition to the new era might look and feel like...
Afterburner : : Engage your afterburner, take off and rocket towards the unknown... never to return!
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!
