DECEM A Decade of Musical Vision

Ten Years of Open Hearted Musical Sharing



DECEM by Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

A Decade of Musical Vision
Celebrating the Journey from BLUE DREAM to DECEM

Introduction

The Birth of a Dream: Ten years have passed since that memorable day on December 27, 2014, when I first unveiled my musical vision with BLUE DREAM. At the time, this album contained only one track of over 33 minutes: FLY OVER ME. Later, my first album quickly expanded with two more tracks to take its final form. A few months later, it was released as a CD, marking a decisive turning point in my artistic evolution. The creation of this album, particularly for the track FLY OVER ME which required sixteen months of work, was an intense commitment. The warm and enthusiastic reception from the public confirmed the relevance of my artistic expression.


An Enriched Discography: Since then, I have enriched my discography with thirteen additional albums, available in both physical and digital formats, and others only in digital format. I have had the chance and the joy of collaborating with talented artists such as drummer Tommy Betzler and Kurz Mindfields (Jean-Luc Briançon). Moreover, my music has been highlighted by magazines like iO Pages and by renowned radio shows such as La Planète Bleue hosted by Yves Blanc. These collaborations and recognitions have validated my work while adding further depth to my art.

The Dawn of a New Decade: Most recently, the release of the album DECEM on December 27, 2024, exactly ten years after BLUE DREAM, marked a decade of my musical, human, and spiritual journey. This album celebrates the continuous evolution of my artistic, human, and spiritual expression. DECEM is not only a reflection of my past but also a light projected into the future, embodying the maturation and constant expansion of my music and spirituality.

DECEM – A DECADE OF CREATION
Exploring Musical and Spiritual Evolution

The Essence of the Tenth Anniversary: DECEM, which means "ten" in Latin, is a jubilee album that evokes completeness: ten years of work, passion, sharing, and presence on the Berlin School scene. It is an important milestone, reflecting both the past and the anticipation of a creative future. This album is an invitation to an introspective journey, a connection with the universal, an awakening, a spiritual resonance, going beyond a simple artistic appreciation to reach something deeper, more transcendent, more sacred.

Musical Harmony:
DECEM explores a variety of sound textures, always in line with the principles of vibrational harmony that I cherish. The three sound universes are composed using the 432 Hz frequency, known as the heart frequency. This pure frequency is in total harmony with our inner self, nature, and the universe that envelops us. Each note, each harmony is designed to resonate with the vital energy of listeners, creating a unique immersive experience.

Spiritual Elevation: My journey has also been marked by a profound spiritual evolution, which is an integral part of my musical ascent. Music has become for me a means to share all my sensitivity, a source of soul elevation. Through DECEM, I seek to transmit these elevated spiritual vibrations, allowing everyone to feel this beneficent energy. DECEM represents both an achievement and a new beginning, symbolizing the constant evolution and artistic maturity reached over time, while incorporating this spiritual dimension.

Nature's Inspiration: Finally, Mother Nature and Terra deeply inspire me. Nature is an inexhaustible source of serenity and vitality, influencing my creations and bringing essential harmony to my compositions. The deep connection with the Earth nourishes my creative spirit and strengthens the bond between music and the surrounding environment, thus creating a perfect symbiosis between the natural world and the sound universe. The pure and crystalline energy of nature in the service of music creates a unique and transcendental experience, a true celebration of life and the universe.

HEARTFELT TESTIMONIALS AND GRATITUDE
Exploring Musical and Spiritual Evolution

Heartfelt Testimonials: The touching testimonials from my listeners confirm the validity of my musical and spiritual evolution. Some have said: "It's amazing, your music intoxicates me, it's as if you added harmonies and sounds that are hypnotic." or "For me, Sequentia Legenda's music has a unique power: it exudes a deeply positive spiritual energy." What could be more beautiful than such comments? Knowing that my music can have therapeutic effects delights me profoundly.

A recent testimonial from Frans Lemaire about DECEM shared: "Each time I hear the music of Sequentia Legenda, I feel close to Klaus Schulze. Your style and flavors make me happy."

A Decade in Retrospect: DECEM marks a decade of my musical and spiritual journey and represents a retrospective of my evolution. Each track is a celebration of the experience, growth, and transformation I have undergone over the past ten years. The philosophy of DECEM is anchored in:

  • Harmony: the quest for harmony,
  • Serenity: serenity,
  • Connection: and connection with universal energy.

This album seeks to capture and convey the positive vibrations and beneficent energies that have accompanied me throughout my journey. It reflects my mission as a vibration carrier and Lightworker, aiming to bring peace and healing through music.

Gratitude and Tributes: I want to express my deep gratitude to my two sons, whose unwavering support and love have been a constant source of inspiration. I also thank Tommy Betzler for his precious collaboration and incredible talent that have enriched my music over the years. To all the listeners who believed in my musical vision and supported me throughout this journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your loyalty and encouragement are invaluable.

And finally, I wish to pay tribute to those who have changed dimensions, especially my dear Mother, Nathalie my first wife, and Klaus Schulze, whose influences continue to resonate in every note of my music. You remain forever in my heart and mind🙏

Towards a Bright Future: Looking to the future, I am filled with enthusiasm and hope. Together, let's continue to explore and celebrate the infinite beauty of music and the universe.

Sequentia Legenda Celebrates 10 Years
with the Album DECEM

DECEM Berlin School music by Sequentia Legenda

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF SEQUENTIA LEGENDA
with the Album DECEM

As an artist of the Berlin School for a decade now, I have had the privilege of sharing musical and spiritual journeys with many passionate fans. Today, I am excited to announce the release of my new album, DECEM, scheduled for December 27, 2015, marking my ten-year presence on the music scene.

Discover the insights of Paul Rijkens, an avid listener from the early days and a contributor for iO Pages magazine. His unique perspective and in-depth analysis offer enriching views on the musical evolution of Sequentia Legenda over the years.

Paul Rijkens and ALCYONE by Sequentia Legenda

THE MUSICAL EVOLUTION OF SEQUENTIA LEGENDA
As Seen by Paul Rijkens

Laurent: Which Sequentia Legenda track or album has had the most impact on you and why?

Paul: For me, it is Float Among The Stars from the album Beyond The Stars. This song embodies everything I love about Sequentia Legenda's music. It has a magnificent sequence, excellent choir sounds, and a melancholic atmosphere that brings me back to the late 70s when the Berlin School style was flourishing.

Laurent: What aspect of Sequentia Legenda's music touches you the most and why?

Paul: In Sequentia Legenda's music, you can clearly hear the love and devotion for the Berlin School. All the albums breathe the Berlin School. It is the music Laurent grew up with. The same goes for me, so I think we have something in common here. I am a bit of a gear freak. Laurent uses software to make his music. But I don't hear any difference with hardware instruments. Using software in such a way that I don't notice it is also a quality of Laurent, in my opinion.

Laurent: How would you describe Sequentia Legenda's musical evolution from the album BLUE DREAM to today?

Paul: It is certain that Laurent is a big fan of Klaus Schulze's music, especially that from the late 70s. This can be clearly heard in BLUE DREAM. This is also true for the other albums, but I hear more and more that he brings in sometimes very subtle changes that can be called his own style. The sequences, the sounds, the drums, but overall the great atmosphere make the music.

Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

THE TOTAL FREEDOM TO TRAVEL, TO IMAGINE, TO DREAM
For me, the Berlin School is all of that

Paul: What has drawn you to the Berlin School style of electronic music?

Laurent: Freedom. The total freedom to travel, to imagine, to dream. It is precisely this spirit of freedom that I still hold dear today to share with listeners. What is more beautiful than freedom, especially after what humanity has experienced? Music has no boundaries; vibrations are everywhere around us, they are energy, they are an integral part of life here and elsewhere. For me, the Berlin School is all of that.

It is precisely this freedom that has allowed me to explore new sounds and create compositions that escape conventional structures. For example, in my tracks, I enjoy playing with long and hypnotic sequences, sophisticated layers, and sequences in perpetual change, immersive sound textures that invite the listener to travel beyond our constraints, beyond our limits. It is a way to liberate the imagination and allow everyone to escape, to find their own space of dream and contemplation. The Berlin School is more than a musical genre; it is a philosophy, a way of perceiving and feeling music as a universal and timeless language, free from any constraints.
 
Paul: I have seen earlier pictures of you where you set behind hardware synthesizers. On your Sequentia Legenda albums you use software synthesizers. What made you decide to use software? I must honestly say, I don't hear a difference.

Laurent: It's a great compliment to hear that you don't notice the difference between software and physical instruments. I place great importance on the sound texture, particularly the analog grain that is typical of the mid-70s. I had the chance to acquire some prestigious analog machines such as the Korg modular, the famous PS3200, the MS20 and its companion, the SQ10 sequencer, the Oberheim DuoVoices, and the iconic ARP Odyssey, to name a few. Later, with the arrival of the MIDI standard, I traded my machines for digital synthesizers like the Roland JD800 or the Waldorf Microwave. I was able to experiment with different types of synthesis, which allowed me to quickly become comfortable with virtual synthesizers. I feel at ease with them; I've learned to get the best out of them to closely approach the sound grain that I love. The possibilities are vast, and I follow my heart in choosing these options. 


In conclusion:

I am deeply touched by Paul's words and his perspective on my work. His feedback, both on the technical and emotional aspects of my music, shows me that my quest to create and share positive vibrations and an immersive atmosphere is achieving its goal. Knowing that Paul does not notice any differences between the physical synthesizers and the VSTs in my work is a great recognition for me. The fact that I was able to work on subtractive synthesis in my youth has served me well. The feelings of the listeners are always important to me, and knowing that my compositions can resemble the best years of the Berlin School is an immense reward. Knowing that my love and dedication to this beautiful movement are apparent in my soundscapes makes me extremely happy.

For those who missed it, don't forget to check out my interview with Renaud Joly, where we discussed the significant moments of my last ten years in music. Read here.

While waiting for the release of DECEM, I also invite you to discover the DVD LIVE in EINDHOVEN, which captures the essence of our performance, Tommy Betzler and myself.

Thank you again for your continuous support.

Musicales Greetings,
Laurent Schieber (Sequentia Legenda)

Celebrating 10 Years of Sequentia Legenda
with the Album DECEM

DECEM Berlin School music by Sequentia Legenda

10 YEARS OF SEQUENTIA LEGENDA
New Album DECEM Available December 27, 2024

As an artist of the Berlin School for now a decade, I have had the privilege of traveling musically and spiritually alongside many dedicated fans. Today, I am pleased to announce the release of my new album, DECEM, scheduled for December 27th, 2024, thus celebrating my ten years of presence on the musical scene.

I would like to share with you the reflections of Renaud Joly, an early listener living in Singapore, whose support and feedback have always been enriching both musically and humanly.

DECEM Trailer
Arnaud Joly and ALCYONE by Sequentia Legenda

THE MUSICAL EVOLUTION OF SEQUENTIA LEGENDA
As Seen by Renaud Joly

Laurent: Which Sequentia Legenda track or album has had the most impact on you and why?

Renaud: For me, The Return - experimental version, is one of the tracks that has touched me the most deeply. First, there is this unique sound, almost with an analog texture, which evokes a bygone era while maintaining a magical and timeless aura. This track evokes a certain nostalgia in me, like a gentle and profound reminiscence, but there is also a cosmic breath, a futuristic vision that blends with this nostalgia to create a fascinating sound universe.

From the first notes, the melody transports me, making me travel beyond the boundaries of reality. The captivating loops succeed each other, intertwine, and each new listening reveals subtle details that amplify the depth of this composition. The density of these elements creates an immersive soundscape, an almost tangible texture that invites contemplation.

Limiting the duration of this experimental version to just over ten minutes also makes it an ideal track for a meditative break in the middle of the day, a moment of recentring and rejuvenation. Then, the release of the extended version in 2001 brought a new dimension, further enriching the work, before the 432 Hz tuned version in 2022 came to sublime the whole. This latest version THE RETURN (Long version) is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of this composition, a major work, a peak of emotion and resonance.
 

Laurent: What aspect of Sequentia Legenda's music touches you the most and why?

Renaud: For me, Sequentia Legenda's music has a unique power: it emits a profoundly positive spiritual energy. It's difficult to describe precisely, but with each listening, the sounds, the loops, and all the sonic elements seem to awaken parts of the mind, opening the doors to an inner journey without needing to move physically. It is an experience where one is transported while remaining grounded, a sound meditation that invites self-discovery.

This attentive listening becomes almost therapeutic, bringing real well-being, like a source of regeneration that allows finding serenity and balance. Sequentia Legenda's music, with its subtle texture and immersive structure, creates a space where one can recharge, feel inner peace, and reconnect with positive emotions.


Laurent: How would you describe Sequentia Legenda's musical evolution from the album BLUE DREAM to today?

Renaud: In ten years, many elements have evolved. First, on the sound side, there has been a quest for a more crystalline purity. At the beginning, the sound textures were perhaps denser, thicker, but over the albums, they have become increasingly refined, offering an improved spatial diffusion, in my opinion. The switch to 432 Hz has also accentuated this spatial dimension, making the listening experience even more immersive.

Furthermore, the sonic complexity has enriched over time. The progressive multiplication of instruments has given the music richness, depth, a bit like a space that initially contained a few elements and which, over the years, has filled with subtle details and a diversity of nuances.

Finally, the spiritual and contemplative aspect has asserted itself over this evolution. The whole creates something absolutely unique and authentic, a work that deeply touches and personally resonates, inviting an inner journey and intimate reflection.

A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE, A HEART-TO-HEART SHARING
Before the Release of DECEM

Renaud: What were the most transformative or decisive moments for you over these ten years on the Berlin School scene, and how did they influence your musical evolution as well as your inner and transcendental journey?

Laurent: During these ten years, there have been some material and technical changes, but the deepest transformation is spiritual, and that's the one I want to highlight here. The awareness of composing only in 432 Hz was a crucial turning point for me. It's a step further towards a musical vision in harmony with our environment, nature, and the cosmos.

I find it essential to share regenerative vibrations, allowing listeners to freely escape in serene immersion. This approach has enabled me to create music that not only awakens the senses but also nourishes the soul, offering a truly transcendent experience.

It's a joy, a divine chance to musically share a bit of well-being, dream, and freedom – I now consider this one of my life's missions on this earth. I deeply thank my listeners for their continued support and connection with my musical vision. Their presence and encouragements motivate me to continue this spiritual and musical journey.
 
Renaud: How do you perceive the evolution of the Berlin School as a genre, and how does your music fit into or distinguish itself from it, especially in shaping your sound, rhythms, and other musical elements over time?

Laurent: For me, the Berlin School remains a rich and inspiring musical movement, with still great days ahead. Of course, it is difficult to compare the current Berlin School with that of the 70s, a time when pioneers like Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream laid the foundations of the genre. Over the decades, the genre has evolved, integrating new technologies such as virtual synthesizers.

Personally, I have always sought to stay true to the original spirit of the Berlin School, especially with the sound grain so typical of the analog era, while bringing my own vision, creativity, and sensitivity. My sound is characterized by immersive sound textures and hypnotic rhythmic sequences, reflecting my musical vision and personal evolution.

My goal is to capture the essence of the Berlin School while offering a unique, contemplative, and spiritual musical experience. The fusion of the old and the new allows me to create music that, I hope, resonates with today's listeners while honoring the genre's legacy.

My authentic and thoughtful approach is my humble contribution to the Berlin School. Every vibration and nuance of my music aims to deeply touch the listener's soul.


Looking Forward to DECEM

DECEM is set to release on December 27, 2024. This opus encapsulates a decade of musical and spiritual evolution, offering a unique blend that continues to highlight the essence of the Berlin School in an extended version. Journey and experience the transcendental sounds that have defined Sequentia Legenda. Mark this date on your calendars and let's celebrate together.

In conclusion:

I am deeply touched by Renaud's words and his perspective on my work. The listeners' feelings remain important to me; it's a heart-to-heart sharing. And I am delighted to learn that my soundscapes can provide serenity and well-being for Renaud. Hearing that my music is somewhat therapeutic is a very nice compliment and a comfort.

For a complementary perspective, don't miss the article with Arnaud, where we explored the inspirations behind my compositions and where Arnaud Joly shares his feelings on the key moments of my musical career. Read here.

While waiting for the release of DECEM, I also invite you to discover the DVD LIVE in EINDHOVEN, which captures the essence of our performance, Tommy Betzler and myself.

Thank you again for your continuous support.

Musicales Greetings,
Laurent Schieber (Sequentia Legenda)

THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE
relive the emotion and energy of this unique concert

Preparation and Planning:
After our concert in the Netherlands, the enthusiasm of our listeners quickly pushed us to plan this DVD project. With seriousness and passion, I threw myself into the task spontaneously. The selection of titles was clear in my mind: present the three main tracks, then add exclusive facets in the form of bonuses.

The main challenge was to recreate the sound and visual atmosphere of the concert. I used video recordings from four cameras, and my warmest thanks go to Enrico Corsano for his high-quality work. For the sound, in addition to the camera recordings, I used the sound recordings from the mixing desk made by Ron Boots, whom I would also like to thank. I reworked the soundtrack individually to highlight certain passages and correct certain frequencies and levels, in order to deliver good listening quality while retaining the typical character of a live performance.

There were a few problems during the concert, particularly during the first track when Tommy's headphones broke down. I didn't want to over-correct these imperfections, because they're part and parcel of playing live and the technical risks involved. For the image, I worked with the ‘multiple camera’ technique, making the most of Enrico's four video sources. Some corrections (sharpness, luminosity) were made to provide an appropriate and pleasant visual experience.

This project has been an incredible adventure, and I hope that the DVD will enable viewers to relive the emotion and energy of this unique concert.

THE IDEA FOR THE DVD
the passion and energy I felt at the concert

Video Editing :
The DVD's home page consists of four menus: three for the titles and one for the bonus. The bonus, which is mainly informative, is made up of various video sources, such as cameras and smartphones, from different people. English subtitles have been included for this bonus. As for the format, I opted for the PAL standard.

Context of the concert:
The concert in the Netherlands was a highlight for Tommy and myself. It was an opportunity to share our vision of the Berlin School with an enthusiastic audience of connoisseurs. It was also an opportunity to perform live (something we hadn't done since 2019) and to highlight our presence on the international scene. Ron Boots had been in touch with me on several occasions, and finally things came together at the end of 2023 to culminate in this concert.

Inspiration for the DVD:

The idea for the DVD came from the passion and energy I felt at the concert. The positive feedback from fans and Tommy's encouragement motivated me to immortalise this unique experience and share it with a wider audience. We wanted to give our listeners a tangible memory of this memorable evening, while revealing what goes on behind the scenes of our work.

Choice of tracks:
I selected the three tracks from the concert for this DVD in order to preserve the full ambience of the event. They represent the essence of our musical style on stage. The exclusive bonus adds an extra dimension, allowing fans to discover previously unseen aspects of our music and creative process.

Graphic design:
As well as the music and video, I was also responsible for the graphic design of the project. I designed the Digipack cover and the 4-page booklet myself. This allowed me to ensure that the visual aesthetic perfectly reflected the spirit of the concert.



DVD LIVE IN EINDHOVEN Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

ENJOY THE SHOW

Conclusion:
This DVD project has been an incredible adventure, full of technical challenges and memorable moments. Every stage, from the selection of titles to post-production and graphic design, has been carried out with passion and dedication. I am deeply grateful to Enrico Corsano and Ron Boots for their expertise and invaluable support.

By watching this DVD, I hope you can feel the energy and emotion that marked this concert. The imponderables and spontaneous moments captured add an authenticity that I hope will transport you to the heart of this unique live experience.

Hidden facets of GALACTIC CRYSTALS seen by Clavius Reticulus

"After the magical album ALCYONE,
which took us to the Pleiades, I invite you to continue
the journey and let yourself be carried away by the galactic crystals to discover Plenitude and crystalline Light,
where all is Love and Unity.
"

LAURENT SCHIEBER EXPERIENCES
THESE COSMIC VIBRATIONS
and plunges us into it to open the portal of perceptions

The stars twinkle in the galactic quadrant, where adamantine crystals float. Laurent Schieber experiences these cosmic vibrations and plunges us into them to open the gateway to hitherto unsuspected perceptions. Perception of the Absolute, the Infinite. An album of universal timelessness.


 
GALACTIC CRYSTALS Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

THE SONGS OF ORION
magically transcended into divine harmony

THE SONGS OF ORION evokes a summer when birdsong blends with the psithurism of flora lulled into a Zephyrian languor. Orion, one of the most beautiful constellations and nebulae in our sky, is magically transcended into divine harmony.

Laurent: "For this very special title I had to show as much courage as for the central title. While at the beginning it went surprisingly smoothly, the second part of the work was much more complex. From a technical point of view, something significant happened: voices literally emerged from the soundtrack. You can make them out as early as minute 2:33, with a subtle and increasing evolution to finally occupy all their place. These murmurs, these songs, these choirs, they were born from the Minimoog! An incredible alchemy. In fact, there's a module in the VST (virtual synth) version of Arturia called Vocal Filter, consisting of a formant filter and an LFO (inaudible low-frequency oscillator used to modulate the signal). It was here that I created these subtly-tuned voices from Orion (with the resonances playing their secret role), to remind us how important freedom is and how crystalline the Light is. Then, in the final third of this composition, the voices from the Minimoog fade away, giving way to the choirs of the Mellotron".




GALACTIC CRYSTALS Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

CRYSTAL OF LIGHT
is once again close to the galaxy of the great Klaus

CRYSTAL OF LIGHT is once again close to the galaxy of the great Klaus, Laurent's master thinker. The man who started it all. Veils of synth float over hypnotic sequences, gradually bewitching us, freeing our minds from material and physical constraints and allowing us to slide little by little into the depths of the multiverse. Suddenly we take off towards the great Light and, surrounded by Akashic entities, we embark on a journey that is both inner and cosmic.

Laurent continues: "The creation of the album required a considerable investment of energy, particularly for the centrepiece, CRYSTAL OF LIGHT, which benefited from the collaboration of Tommy Betzler on percussion! After many exchanges, I had to adjust certain fundamental aspects to achieve perfect harmony and best express the richness of this composition, which is both sonorous and full of emotion. The piece exudes an abundance of cosmic, crystalline vibrations."



GALACTIC CRYSTALS Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

RETURN TO MESHALEA
a journey to the end of the dream and to the very edge
of the ultimate Truth

RETURN TO MESHALEA is without doubt my favourite track on the album. Already for its mystical side. Meshalea is the name given by the Andromedians to the spiral galaxy they inhabit. They believe in Unity. The synthetic moires are once again synonymous with astral vibrations; celestial choirs can be heard mingling with the backwash of the space-time ocean of the cosmos. A journey through a vortex where everything is splendour, majesty and pure light. Laurent's sublime compositions translate the language of the Aeons, which can only be understood by those who align themselves with these frequencies and take off with him on a journey to the end of the dream and to the very edge of the ultimate Truth.
