My sixth album was released on March 3, 2019.
I am delighted to share some information with you here.
"When it comes to electronic music, Laurent Schieber alias Sequentia Legenda
is one of the regulars on these pages. And for good reason, because he revives
the Berlin school in a way that convinces genre fans."

OVER THERE : A THIRTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD PROJECT
OVER THERE - 1984
The origin of this project goes back to 1984, when I was 19 years old. Back then, we were at the end of the analog era and the MIDI standard had been introduced. My parents enabled me to set up a home studio and I dreamed of making an album.
I drew inspiration from my collection of analog instruments: modular Korg PS-3200, ARP Odyssey, Korg MS-20 and its SQ10 sequencer, duophonic Oberheim Two Voice, Crumar Multiman S, Roland RE 201 echo chamber and TEAC A3340S 4-track tape recorder.
THE TIME HAS PASSED
Meanwhile, music technology was ever evolving. I therefore eventually separated
from my analog synthesizers for digital instruments, driven by Steinberg’s
Pro-24 recording software.
OVER THERE - 2019
And finally, thirty-five years later, I was lucky enough to be able to realize my dream.
To do this, I used today’s instruments. The software synthesizers were carefully chosen
to create an extended atmosphere of the classic Berlin School period from the
mid-1970s to the mid-1980s.
I hope you will enjoy listening to this album as much as I enjoyed composing it.
And now it's time to let my new album fly on its own.

1. THE RETURN: TO THE ESSENCE OF BERLIN SCHOOL MUSIC
1984: I was 19 years old, surrounded by my analog instruments. All was perfect.
On my own, I composed for long hours, sometimes whole nights. I had a dream then
to create an album, a disc, called OVER THERE. I even created a fabric banner
with an album cover concept. 2019: My youth project has become a reality.
In the distant fog and breaking waves, the ringing of a bell can be heard.
A craft floating on an unknown sea advances slowly, then gradually embarks on a
progressive flight towards the heavens. In this mystical atmosphere, rumblings from the

I saw a lake of an intrinsic beauty! Eager to go further in my quest, I closed my eyes!
A great serenity seized my whole being. I would have liked, at that very moment,
that this journey would have been endless.“
