Created by musician Chris, SYNTHONIE centres on the Musitar, his custom-built multifunctional MIDI instrument. The live sound combines cinematic electronics and rock elements, while the fictional character Syndarella appears in the projected visual world.
The project extends into game development, composition and interactive VR music workshops. Its official site documents performances at gaming and science-fiction events, with the instrument and visual storytelling linking the concert and workshop formats.
SYNTHONIE was created by Christian Freund, a German musician now based in Birmingham. The project combines composition, coding, game development and instrument design, with influences from science fiction and gaming.
His multifunctional MIDI instrument, the Musitar, is played live alongside a projected world featuring Syndarella. Beyond concerts, his VR workshops introduce music-making in virtual reality to schools, universities, youth organisations and businesses.
The project’s official archive includes live concerts and workshop films, giving organisers a closer look at both the stage presentation and the interactive teaching format.
