Ici et Maintenant the 2nd title of RENAISSANCE

Share the present moment

🎬 The second preview of my next album RENAISSANCE ♫

I have the pleasure to present you an extract from my next album, "RENAISSANCE".
This title "Ici et Maintenant" is the second track of this futur album.

(1. Out of the Silence   2. Ici et Maintenant   3. Valentin's Traum).
– Official release of RENAISSANCE on 17 May 2018 –

Through this title, it was important for me to share the present moment with the listeners, with my family, with myself. The sounds of the glorious years of the analogue era brought up to date with today's technology, here and now (Ici et Maintenant).

Laurent Schieber (Sequentia Legenda)

🎼 Regular and deep pulse 🎧

After an introduction to experimental, concrete and drones sounds, the enigmatic atmosphere gradually fades away and gives way to a benevolent global atmosphere.
The arrival of the luminous pads, supported punctually by Gregorian-style choirs, amplifies the notion of infinity.

The soundtrack is then filled with multiple pads and sequential loops. Later, a regular and deep pulse joins the ensemble to give even more life. It is like a heart that begins to beat, heralding a rhythmic surge. The snare drum, then a roll of toms complete the climax of this composition, leaving the vaporous pads and the empathetic choirs ornamented with the atmospheric and spiritual finale.

It is peace, contemplative, here and now (Ici et Maintenant),
a return to the roots of the Berlin School.

My encounter with the modular Korg PS3200

I thank my father again today for all his attention.

1982: my meeting with the modular

In 1982, when I was 17 years old, I had just recently discovered the amazing music of Klaus Schulze through his superb album Mirage. At that time, there were many rumors about a rather strange instrument: it was the synthesizer. I started looking for this mysterious sound machine. I was browsing the classified ads section of music magazines looking for analogical machines.

It was during one of my travels in Paris, in an apartment located in an alley of a modest neighborhood, that I was going to get to know a mythical machine. After having climbed the many steps of a dark staircase with the tagged walls, I arrived in front of a heavy door. I was ringing, the door opened and before me appeared as if by magic a superb recording studio! In the midst of the many instruments, a synthesizer immediately caught my eye. It was the famous Korg PS3200. I only had eyes for the modular. The owner of the studio had informed me of his intention to sell the instrument next month. I told him I was very interested. He told me that if I wanted to, I could buy it right away. I was on a cloud, I immediately made a phone call to my father, persuading him to come to Paris to help me pay and also to transport this monster of 30 kilos. Even today, I thank him for his effort, for his attention.

That's how the PS3200 found itself the next day in my parents' basement, where I had set up my little studio, in the middle of the ARP Odyssey, the Oberheim SEM, the Korg MS20 and its sequencer SQ10, the Crumar Multiman S. I then took great pleasure in discovering all the facets of my new "baby". I have the memory of beautiful pads, strange sounds created with the ring modulator a bit like Klaus Schulze's "Dune". I really enjoyed the 16 available storage memories. The modular polyphony was one of its strengths.
