Syntax (2)

Syntax (2) is a British electronic music project founded by Michael Tournier and Jan Burton in the early 2000s, following Tournier's departure from the pioneering electronic duo Fluke. Drawing on their combined backgrounds in electronic, trip-hop, and synthpop, Syntax produced a signature sound characterized by lush atmospheric production, emotive vocals, and intricate programming. Their debut album, "Meccano Mind," released in 2003, featured standout singles such as "Bliss" and "Pride," earning them critical acclaim for their sophisticated arrangements and haunting melodies.

Despite a relatively brief existence as a collaborative unit, Syntax (2) left a lasting impact on the electronic music landscape, with their work frequently appearing in film, television, and advertising. The project’s moody, cinematic tracks continue to resonate with fans of intelligent electronica, and both Tournier and Burton have continued to contribute to the genre through their subsequent solo and collaborative efforts.
