Art of Survival is released and available

About Me


syn•the•sist
one who combines diverse conceptions into a coherent whole
The music of  I, Synthesist (composer/producer Chris Ianuzzi) is indeed a coherent whole that blends the past and present in electronic music. The sound is complex and multi-layered; the songs are classic and accessible. You can call it Electropop: it doesn’t take an MFA in composition to enjoy.
Stretching beyond the well-loved synth-pop sound of his first album, The Art of Survival takes a broader dive into modern music. There is a powerful electronic union of persistent beats and thought-full lyrics laced together with memory sticking melodies and enveloping orchestrations. Ianuzzi further expresses the humanity he mines in his music through his use of technology in live performances. He collaborates with designer Anna Krych to create video projections that enhance the live performances and suggest new dimensions to the music itself.

The first I, Synthesist album, Avalanche, was released in 2004. Avalanche received a High Five on the German Alternative Charts. Songs from Avalanche reached the top 10 on the French Alternative Charts. I, Synthesist was invited to play at the 2005 Wave Gotik Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany after a short European tour. Art of Survival is the next full-length release by I, Synthesist. Art of Survival will be released internationally in November 2007.
Ianuzzi has had the opportunity to work as an Electronic Creative Associate with the legendary Suzanne Ciani, which included work with Vangelis and ex-Tangerine Dream member Peter Baumann and Man Parrish. He worked on Billboard chart-topping projects such as “AEIOU” by Freeze and “Way of Life” by The Puppets. More recently, Chris created the award-winning musical theme for A&E's Crime and Investigation Network among other identity, promotional and advertising projects.
