Description:
I, Synthesist. A real surprise in these times in which we experience a revival of synthpop and new wave. Refreshing retro project? Contradiction in terms? Maybe, but it is a fact that I, Synthesist leaves traces of Gary Numan, Fad Gadget, Ultravox or Kraftwerk and manages to sound refreshing at the same time, which is very well done.
-TekNoir for Gothtronic
It quickly becomes evident upon experiencing the songs of I, Synthesist (a.k.a. composer/producer Chris Ianuzzi) that what you're hearing is indeed a coherent whole, formed from years of musical experience and influence in an artist whose talent and creativity enable him to blend the best of the past and shape the sound of the future.
And what of the influences? You'll hear traces of the pioneers here: Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Fad Gadget, Ultravox. But the most exciting compound in this joyous chemistry may be the hint of bowie-esque rock sound, even reaching into territory covered by innovative musicians like Bjork.
There's a hit song here, and you'll know it when you hear it. There are remix-ready tracks poised to explode on international dance floors. There are words; Ianuzzi's command of the medium gives life and sound to the twitchy introspection that hovers behind post-millennial shoulders. And there's a lot more where that came from; proof that Chris Ianuzzi knows what he's doing - he knows he's going to keep Synthesizing - which, really, is what music and culture are all about.
