To My Mother, a Bearer of Light

✨ Departure for a Celestial Voyage – Extended Version
In loving tribute to my Mother, a Bearer of Light

Dear friends-listeners,

November 4, 2025 marks three years since my Mother’s departure into the Light.

This Extended version of Departure for a Celestial Voyage is both an intimate and universal homage — a musical offering dedicated to her soul and to all those who have journeyed to the celestial realms.

These extra 3 minutes and 33 seconds are not just an added length of sound — they are a cosmic breath, a sacred space for reflection and communion.

Through them, I wished to let the music rise gently, like a breath of love and gratitude, a radiant prayer ascending into infinity.

"Nothing can extinguish this sacred bond between souls,
for it is woven from eternity.
Music, vibrations, and energy flow and expand
within the light and within love."

TO MY MOTHER, A BEARER OF LIGHT
His presence shines far beyond

There are beings whose presence shines far beyond time itself.

My mother was one of those awakened souls — curious, attentive to beauty in all its forms, and moved by its simplest expressions. Music, in particular, was part of that awakening.

It was she who enrolled me, when I was about eight years old, in accordion lessons. But the heaviness of the instrument, and especially the rigidity of solfeggio, quickly discouraged me. Yet, without knowing it, she had just opened the first door to my musical universe.

A few years later, on November 3rd, 1978, she went to the Temple Saint-Étienne in Mulhouse to attend a Klaus Schulze concert (The “X.” Tour). She bought the timeless, mythical vinyl Mirage, unaware that she was handing me the key to a universe that would forever transform my life. That record was a revelation — a true thunderbolt, the musical spark that ignited it all. That precise moment, that suspended instant, awakened in me the calling of synthesizers, the Berlin School… and beyond that, the call of a sonic and spiritual mission.

It was also she who accompanied me to the store "Aux Guitares" in Mulhouse, where I learned about analog synthesis and how to handle instruments like the Minimoog.

IT WAS SHE WHO DROVE ME TO BELFORT
Klaus Schulze’s concert on February 5th, 1983 

And it was she who drove me to Belfort so that I could attend Klaus Schulze’s concert on February 5th, 1983. At the end of the show, Klaus was still there — adjusting his synths, exchanging words with the few who lingered. Too shy, I couldn’t utter a single word. My mother came back from Mulhouse to pick me up. On the way home, filled with excitement, I confessed to her how disappointed I was for not daring to speak to the man whose music had so deeply moved my soul.

Later, I wrote Klaus a letter — never knowing if he ever read it.

 

LONG IMPROVISATION SESSIONS IN MY LITTLE STUDIO
in my parents’ basement, surrounded by my “babies” 

I also remember writing a passionate message on the bathroom mirror, using one of her lipsticks, praising the Polymoog, that magical instrument Klaus owned — the one I dreamed of having.

I still recall those long improvisation sessions in my little studio, in my parents’ basement, surrounded by my “babies”:

the Korg PS-3200, the MS-20 with its SQ-10 sequencer, the ARP Odyssey (another synth Klaus used), the Oberheim Two Voices, the Crumar Multiman-S, and many others…

Each time she came downstairs to call me for dinner, I would startle — I was already floating in another world, headphones on.

More recently, when Sequentia Legenda began to shine publicly, I would give her the first versions of my albums. She kept them carefully, listened attentively, and shared her thoughts — always kind, often insightful.

I believe she was proud of me — of my perseverance, my path, and my fidelity to who I am. Besides music, we often talked about deep and spiritual matters.

She would often say: “If only you weren’t so sensitive!”

But I believe, deep down, that was her way of protecting me. She too was a profoundly sensitive soul.

At the end of her life, lying in her hospital bed, when she could hardly speak, we were all gathered around her. She whispered a few words. My father, leaning close, turned to me and said:

“Mom is asking if you will continue with your music.”

I reassured her, asked her to hold on, and told her that a double album was about to be released — The Berlin School Box — dedicated to her and to my father.

Fate decided otherwise: she left a few days later, journeying to another dimension 🙏

🌠 Epilogue – The Song of Souls

Even now, when my hands rest upon the keyboards and the first notes ascend, I feel her presence — gentle, benevolent, and serene.

Every vibration carries a trace of her gaze, her tenderness, her faith in me.

My music is no longer mine alone: it is the living breath of what she passed on to me — that light of love, that childlike wonder for the world, that trust in the unseen paths of existence.

Mother, you who opened the way, you who taught me to listen to the whisper of the infinite, I keep walking, creating, and resonating — to honor your light and let it shine ever brighter.

And sometimes, when I close my eyes, in the stillness between two notes,

I can hear you softly say:

“Continue, my son… music is your offering to the heavens.”

---

During our last conversation, Michael Scanlon made a very specific request: “Laurent, could you one day put together a clear chronology of your discography? I believe it would be valuable for us listeners, to follow the evolution of your universe.”

I found this suggestion both thoughtful and relevant, and I am grateful for it. May these milestones serve as a guide for those who wish to journey through my sounds — step by step, album after album.

Children of the Solar Light: A Journey of Light and Awakening

A benevolent solar radiance — 
a luminous bond uniting the children of the universe. 

Dear friends-listeners,

Children of the Solar Light is far more than a musical composition. It is an invitation to a spiritual and vibrational journey — a quest for light and truth that transcends appearances and cultural illusions. As Plato once wrote:

    “Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.”

This quote deeply resonates with the path this music seeks to illuminate: a free space where the listener is gently invited to feel, to vibrate, and to reconnect with their own inner light. It is a silent dialogue, a heart-to-heart sharing between the soul of the artist and that of the listener — where each note becomes a spark of awakening.

With all my gratitude and light,
Laurent Schieber – Sequentia Legenda

 

THE SOLAR LIGHT AND ITS CHILDREN
Creative and Spiritual Fluidity

☀️ The Solar Light and Its Children

The title Children of the Solar Light symbolizes this benevolent solar radiance — a powerful link with children of the universe: beings of purity and innocence who come to guide humanity toward spiritual renewal. Their luminous energy flows through the creative process, nourishing every vibration and nuance within the composition.

The music thus becomes a vehicle for collective awakening, an energy of unification and universal peace. Hypnotic Minimoog arpeggios, the rich analog textures of the ARP Odysseys, and the delicate melodic lines created through Kontakt form a sonic tapestry where light and sensory freedom lie at the very core. This piece is a call to unity, an invitation to reconnect the listener with their own solar essence.

🌊 Creative and Spiritual Fluidity

The creation of Children of the Solar Light unfolded with surprising fluidity, as if the music was composing itself — led by deep trust and total surrender. This organic, almost instinctive process resembled a vibrational dance, free from constraints.

At the heart of it all is the Modular Moog, whose main sequence acts as a living pillar — a beating heart that orchestrates the whole with evolving richness and dynamic expression. Every modulation enhances the musical flow, transforming sound into an almost tangible energy that envelops and supports the arpeggios, melodies, and atmospheres.

This harmonious balance between discipline and freedom, structure and improvisation, allows the composition to blossom gracefully — opening a space where a mystical, radiant soundscape can gradually reveal itself.

A SONIC REVELATION
 An Initiatory Journey 

🌬️ The Ethereal Voice of the Minimoog: A Sonic Revelation

A key moment in the piece is the emergence of a mysterious voice, emanating from the Minimoog and gently intertwining with the Vocalize layers played via Kontakt. This ethereal voice adds a sacred, almost divine dimension, amplifying the spiritual and emotional depth of the work.

It symbolizes the vibrational union between human, machine, and spirit — a sonic response that transcends technique to become a channel of light. More than a simple echo or counterpart, this voice is a subtle presence — a manifestation of soul — that uplifts and enriches the composition, fully aligned with its intention of awakening and sharing.

🛤️ In Summary: An Initiatory Journey

Children of the Solar Light is a musical offering, an initiatory journey woven from inner light, collective awakening, and sensorial exploration. Through the power of its solar vibrations, this piece invites each listener to return to their essence, and to embrace peace, love, and universal harmony.

It reflects a creative process in which music becomes a mission, a spiritual act of sharing and connection — one that illuminates both the one who creates and the one who receives.

A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you!

Thank you for being part of this luminous journey. May the music continue to guide you gently, wherever you are, toward your own inner light.

With warmth and light,
Laurent Schieber – Sequentia Legenda

 

 

            

A RAY OF LIGHT – A musical offering to awaken hearts

Through these lines, 
I invite you to discover the light that 
A RAY OF LIGHT holds within. 

Dear friends-listeners,

On June 9th, 2025, A RAY OF LIGHT came to meet your hearts. Since that day, your kind and heartfelt feedback has touched me deeply, and I feel sincere gratitude for the connection we’ve woven together through music.

This album was born from an inner call — from a space of stillness and deep listening — where music emerged as a vibrational response to what I feel in the world: a need for light, for softness, for elevation. It’s a creation that uplifts without imposing, that gently invites without directing, offering each listener a space for free and personal exploration.

If you haven’t discovered it yet, or feel the call to revisit it, this moment belongs to you. With every listen, new layers may unfold — like sonic constellations, constantly expanding, ready to reveal their mysteries.

With all my gratitude and light,
Laurent Schieber – Sequentia Legenda

 

CHILDREN OF THE SOLAR LIGHT
The Illumination of the Path to Peace and Harmony

Children of the Solar Light is a celebration of the solar light — an infinite source of life, wisdom, and transformation.
Guided by intuition, the piece emerged with natural fluidity, like a breath from beyond. Crystalline sequences intertwine effortlessly, supported by a modular Moog that sculpts the sensory space. A Minimoog arpeggio illuminates the final section, accompanied by a celestial wind and cosmic chimes from two ARP Odysseys. A delicate melodic line, voiced through Vocalize 2 (Kontakt), rises gently — like a soul’s song carried by the ether.

This composition invites the listener into a luminous space — a cosmic journey guided by the Children of Light: awakened souls and messengers of a new era. Their sacred mission is to spread benevolent vibrations and share their ancestral wisdom to nurture the hearts of humanity. With purity and tenderness, they embody hope and collective elevation.

Children of the Solar Light is more than a piece — it is an invitation to reconnect with the universal light, to rediscover the divine essence within, and to awaken to a higher state of consciousness where peace, love, and harmony shine from within and radiate outward.

ON THE PATH OF CREATION GUIDED BY INNER LIGHT
 Sequentia Legenda creates beyond sound in the heart of the subtle 

My music is born from a deep and intimate dialogue with my inner guidance — a subtle and benevolent voice that gently accompanies me at every step of the creative path I am given to walk here on Earth. I open space for intuition and the present moment, allowing each sound to emerge naturally, infused with regenerating and luminous vibrations.

Creating in this way means entering a sacred space where patience, precision, and fluidity dance in harmony. It is an inner journey — a quest for authenticity — where technical mastery steps aside to make room for the soul’s deeper call. The aim is not so much to shape the sound, but to allow it to express what already exists, inherently and silently.

Each composition thus becomes a humble offering — a sonic sanctuary — where the listener is invited to reconnect with their own light, their own inner resonance. In this space, music transcends mere expression: it becomes a mission. A spiritual gesture. A luminous sharing that uplifts both the one who creates and the one who receives, weaving a thread of harmony and truth between them.

A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you!

Thank you for being part of this luminous journey. May the music continue to guide you gently, wherever you are, toward your own inner light.

With warmth and light,
Laurent Schieber – Sequentia Legenda

 

 

            

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."
Clavius Reticulus

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.

 

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".

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."

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. 

 

 

LET YOURSELF BE CARRIED AWAY
BY THE GALACTIC CRYSTALS
to discover Plenitude and crystalline Light

 

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. 

 

As essential as each new Sequentia Legenda opus! 5/5

Trois questions sur " Solitudes Lunaires "

Pouvez-vous nous expliquer ce voyage en apesanteur ?

UNE SOURCE D'INSPIRATION ET D'ÉVASION

Thierry Moreau : " Avec ton titre " Solitudes Lunaires ", tu rends hommage à Jules Verne, peux, tu nous expliquer ce voyage en apesanteur dont la substance nous évoque à bien des égards l'hommage à Franck Herbert " Dune " de Klaus Schulze. Tu nous invites à l'introspection lunaire ? "

Sequentia Legenda : "J'ai beaucoup d’admirations pour Jules Verne et il me tenait à cœur de lui rendre hommage. Il est à mes yeux un conteur de rêve, un astronome, un professeur de géographie, un aventurier. En lisant ses voyages extraordinaires, c’est tout un univers onirique qui s’ouvre à moi et qui nourrit avec délectation mon imagination. C’est une source d’inspiration et d'évasion. Solitudes Lunaires est un clin d’œil à "Autour de la Lune ". Lorsque j'avais dix ans, je voulais tout comme lui devenir écrivain ! Mes favoris : " De la Terre à la Lune ", " Voyage au centre de la Terre " et " Vingt mille lieues sous les mers ".

Voici un extrait de " Autour de la Lune " : " [...]Le projectile a dû atteindre la Lune au moment où elle était pleine, le 5 à minuit. Nous voici au 11 décembre, ce qui fait six jours. Or, en six fois vingt-quatre heures, sans obscurité, on a le temps de s’installer confortablement. Il me semble que je les vois, nos braves compatriotes, campés au fond d’une vallée, sur le bord d’un ruisseau sélénite, près du projectile à demi enfoncé par sa chute au milieu des débris volcaniques, le capitaine Nicholl commençant ses opérations de nivellement, le président Barbicane mettant au net ses notes de voyage, Michel Ardan embaumant les solitudes lunaires du parfum de ses londrès[...] ".

La littérature et la musique ont des analogies, notamment celle de faire voyager, de faire rêver. Jules Verne a su avec brio faire voyager ses lecteurs, avec cette composition, il était important pour moi de transporter les auditeurs vers une introspection lunaire.

Les chœurs séraphiques, les sonorités scintillantes, les nappes lointaines contribuent à l’ambiance lunaire. La texture rythmique est créée par les oscillateurs du Minimoog poussés en auto-oscillation. L’ensemble est amplifié avec des temps réverbération assez long et des échos stéréophoniques. Les boucles de notes sont comme une suite de mots, racontant une histoire, décrivant le paysage sonore : les mers, les vallées, les cratères, les mystères et la douce clarté solaire. L’imagination joue un grand rôle dans l’interprétation.
Alors, pourquoi ne pas se laisser aller à imaginer le chant des Sélénites accompagnant cette musique lunaire ? Libre à chacun d’interpréter ce poème musical, de vivre à sa façon l'exploration méditative de ce monde sélénique.

Pour la petite anecdote, mon fils aîné, à l’écoute de cette pièce avait écrit ceci : " Papa, lorsque j'écoute cet extrait, j'ai l'impression d'être tout seul sur la Lune ! ".

Et enfin, je tiens à dire, que je suis honoré de savoir que mon titre dans sa substance puisse ainsi être comparé à l'album " Dune " de Klaus Schulze. "

UN MOTIF SONORE EN PERPÉTUEL MOUVEMENT

Thierry Moreau : " Ton travail alterne une ligne mélodique et une séquence qui nous guide vers un voyage, comptes-tu faire un album complet en hommage à l'univers de Jules Verne ou à un roman en particulier ? "

Sequentia Legenda : " Cette alternance peut être comparée aux marées provoquées par la Lune, c’est une trame sonore en perpétuel mouvement, qui va et qui vient tout en s’amplifiant, en se métamorphosant subtilement. Elle berce l’auditeur dans l’espace sonore. Les séquences, elles aussi, sont évolutives, formant des combinaisons, des constellation, s’entremêlant et se confondant dans l’atmosphère globale.

Créer un album en hommage à Jules Verne est en effet une idée intéressante. À voir... "

UNE INVITATION AU RÊVE, AU VOYAGE, À LA MÉDITATION

Thierry Moreau : " Ton imprégnation de la Berlin School est évidente et tu es identifiable immédiatement, ne crois tu pas que la charge émotionnelle qui se dégage est due en partie au fait que tu aimes inviter les gens aux voyages ? En l'occurrence chez Jules Verne ici ? "

Sequentia Legenda : " En dehors du fait que ma musique soit une invitation propice au rêve, au voyage, à la méditation, je pense que les auditeurs perçoivent au travers de mes compositions ma sensibilité, mon authenticité, ma vision d’une Berlin School épurée.

Je partage mon langage musical avec passion et bonheur. Pour profiter pleinement des univers sonores, il faut se donner du temps, se mettre dans de bonnes conditions d’écoute. Par la suite, c'est une association d'émotions qui s'opère et l'immersion pourra alors être vécue pleinement. "

  

Le titre SOLITUDES LUNAIRES a été revisité et remastérisé spécialement pour cette occasion. Les chœurs du Mellotron ont été ajoutés. Le Minimoog est présent pour la partie finale.

Une cymbale est venue soutenir les impulsions rythmiques des oscillateurs en auto-oscillation.

La durée est légèrement plus longue que la version originale du double album " EXTENDED ".

Three questions on "Solitudes Lunaires"

Can you explain this weightlessness journey to us?

A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND ESCAPE

Thierry Moreau:
"With your title "Solitudes Lunaires" you pay tribute to Jules Verne, can you explain to us this journey in weightlessness whose substance evokes in many ways the tribute to Franck Herbert "Dune" by Klaus Schulze. Are you inviting us to the lunar introspection?"

Sequentia Legenda:
  "I have a great admiration for Jules Verne and I wanted to pay tribute to him. To me, he is a dream storyteller, an astronomer, a geography teacher, an adventurer. Reading his extraordinary travels, it is a whole dreamlike universe that opens up to me and feeds my imagination with delight. It is a source of inspiration and escape. Solitudes Lunaires is a nod to "Autour de la Lune". When I was ten years old, I wanted to become a writer just like him! My favorites: "From the Earth to the Moon", "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea".

Here is an excerpt from "Around the Moon": "[...]The projectile must have reached the Moon when it was full, on the 5th at midnight. Here we are on December 11, which is six days ago. However, in six times twenty-four hours, without darkness, we have time to settle comfortably. It seems to me that I see them, our brave compatriots, camped at the bottom of a valley, on the edge of a selenite stream, near the projectile half sunk by its fall in the middle of volcanic debris, Captain Nicholl beginning his levelling operations, President Barbicane cleaning up his travel notes, Michel Ardan embalming the lunar solitudes with the scent of his londrès[...]".

Literature and music have similarities, in particular that of making people travel, making them dream. Jules Verne knew how to make his readers travel with brio, with this composition, it was important for me to transport the listeners to a lunar introspection.

The seraphic choirs, the sparkling sounds, the distant layers contribute to the lunar atmosphere. The rhythmic texture is created by the Minimoog's oscillators pushed into self-oscillation. The whole is amplified with quite long reverberation times and stereophonic echoes. The note loops are like a series of words, telling a story, describing the sound landscape: the seas, valleys, craters, mysteries and the gentle sunlight. Imagination plays a major role in interpretation.
So why not let yourself go and imagine the song of the Selenites accompanying this lunar music? Everyone is free to interpret this musical poem, to experience in their own way the meditative exploration of this selenical world.

For the anecdote, my eldest son, listening to this play, wrote this: "Dad, when I listen to this extract, I feel like I'm alone on the Moon!"

And finally, I would like to say that I am honoured to know that my title in its substance can thus be compared to the album "Dune" by Klaus Schulze."

A SONIC PATTERN IN PERPETUAL MOVEMENT

Thierry Moreau:
"Your work alternates a melodic line and a sequence that guides us on a journey,
do you plan to make a complete album in homage to Jules Verne's universe or to a particular novel?"

Sequentia Legenda:
  "This alternation can be compared to the tides caused by the Moon, it is a sonic pattern in perpetual movement, which comes and goes while amplifying, while subtly metamorphosing. It rock the listener into the sound space.
The sequences, too, are evolutionary, forming combinations, constellations, intertwining and merging in the global atmosphere.

Creating an album in homage to Jules Verne is indeed an interesting idea. To see..."

AN INVITATION TO DREAM, TO TRAVEL, TO MEDITATE

Thierry Moreau: 
"Your impregnation of the Berlin School is obvious and you are immediately identifiable, don't you think that the emotional charge that emerges is partly due to the fact that you like to invite people to travel? In this instance at Jules Verne's here?"

Sequentia Legenda:
  "Apart from the fact that my music is an invitation to dream, to travel, to meditate, I think that listeners perceive through my compositions my sensitivity, my authenticity, my vision of a cleansed Berlin School.

I share my musical language with passion and happiness. To fully enjoy the sound worlds, you have to give yourself time, put yourself in good listening conditions. Thereafter, an association of emotions takes place and the immersion can then be fully experienced."
