🌟 Schallwelle 2025: Vibrations, Connection and Light

✨ Across Generations, One Frequency ✨


Schallwelle Award 2025 Sequentia Legenda and Dylan

Dear friends-listeners,

These two days spent in Schwerte, near Dortmund, were intense and filled with light for Dylan and me. Returning to this gathering of the Berlin School and electronic music community felt like coming home. Beyond styles and generations, there is a shared pulse — a quiet understanding flowing through conversations, smiles and sounds.

Reconnecting with artists and friends, exchanging impressions, memories and visions, reminds us that music moves far beyond words. It becomes a living field of resonance, linking hearts across time and space. The reunions with Tommy Betzler and Anke carried a special warmth — shared laughter, memories, and the unspoken certainty that the creative thread remains alive. With the presence of the Schallwelle Award, celebrating excellence in electronic music, the gathering shone even brighter, honoring not only artistic paths but the deep connections that unite us.

HOLDING THE LIGHT IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
Music as an Invisible Bridge

For me, as Sequentia Legenda, this edition will remain a meaningful milestone. A RAY OF LIGHT was ranked 4th among 255 international albums, and I was honored to receive 14th place in the international artist ranking.

Yet beyond the numbers, what touches me most deeply is something more essential: the confirmation that sincerity in creation is felt. Every note shaped with intention, every texture patiently sculpted, carries an inner vibration that can reach another soul somewhere in the world. That silent connection is the true reward. ✨

This ray of light also pierces through a painful family trial we are currently experiencing. Despite distance and challenging moments with Valentin and Dylan, music becomes an invisible bridge. It creates a space where gratitude, protection and kindness continue to circulate, gently but persistently. In uncertain times, sound can hold what words cannot. 💛

I was deeply moved to see my mentor Klaus Schulze nominated posthumously with the album Bon Voyage. His presence remains alive in the frequencies he released into the world. It is a powerful reminder that music transcends time, connecting creators and listeners across generations, remaining a beacon for those who continue the journey. 🌌

I would also like to sincerely thank Stephan Schelle for his kindness and his beautiful photographs. You can visit this link to read his article and discover more about this edition of the Schallwelle Award.

MINTAKA Sequentia Legenda


UNDER THE SIGN OF MINTAKA
A Constellation of Memory and Continuity 

The future is already unfolding with MINTAKA, my upcoming album scheduled for June 13 — my father’s birthday, a moment of deep personal significance that quietly illuminates this new chapter. The music born around it feels like a constellation forming slowly in the inner sky. Each vibration, each sonic breath, each evolving sequence becomes an offering, not only to listeners, but to life itself and to the light that gently guides us.

In the end, what truly matters is not external recognition, but the continuity of the bond: with music, with family, with those who resonate with these frequencies. A sincere sharing from heart to heart, carried by sound.

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.

LOVE FEEDS LOVE II a heart-to-heart vibration

✨ More than music, LOVE FEEDS LOVE II 
is an act of gratitude and connection ✨


LOVE FEEDS LOVE II Sequentia Legenda and Charlotte Abigaël Dubois

Dear friends-listeners,

The musical encounter with Charlotte Abigaël Dubois was a rare synchronicity. From the first notes, her theremin rose with celestial ease, carrying a gentle nostalgia that touched my soul. Together, we created a space of resonance where two sensibilities meet to produce a vibration greater than the sum of its parts.

These past weeks have been intense—between my efforts to get Valentin back by my side and supporting Dylan in finally having his voice heard. Music has remained both a refuge and a force for transformation. LOVE FEEDS LOVE II now becomes a circle of support, an energy dedicated to my sons’ well-being. All proceeds from this track will go entirely to their protection and care.

“Love feeds love” is not a concept, it is a heart-to-heart movement—what has carried me for years, creating and sharing vibrations that open spaces and reconnect each person to their inner light.

Through this music, I send a wish to all children of light and those moving forward despite shadows: may gentleness accompany you, may truth protect you, and may the beauty of Terra guide you toward peaceful days.

Thank you for your listening, your presence, and the light you bring by being here. 

Laurent Schieber – Sequentia Legenda

LOVE FEEDS LOVE II is available here

 
LOVE FEEDS LOVE II Sequentia Legenda and Charlotte Abigaël Dubois

DIVING INTO LAURENT’S WORLD
is like stepping into a painting, a floating, intangible space

What touched or inspired you when discovering the other’s musical universe?

Charlotte:
 Diving into Laurent’s world is like stepping into a painting, a floating, intangible space where anything is possible. The imagination is free, and images come and go, intertwining. I love this vaporous quality that unfolds over time—without boundaries, without limits—it’s very inspiring!

How would you describe the energy or intention you wanted to convey through LOVE FEEDS LOVE II?

Charlotte: At first, it was difficult for me to connect with this universe. I usually build my layers in loops, and I couldn’t latch onto the piece… I tried many times, without success. Then one summer day, the sun blazing outside, everything calm and quiet, I decided to let go and immerse myself. It became instinctive, almost animalistic—I heard nature, rustlings, calls, and I began to play, to let myself flow. Everything became very organic, as if instead of telling a story with words (as I usually do when composing), I had a brush to paint with sound.

What did this collaboration bring you personally or artistically?

Charlotte:
This collaboration pushed me out of my comfort zone, helped me grow, and offered a new creative perspective. I journeyed with my theremin through unknown lands and opened a window I hadn’t yet opened—the one of letting go… It was a beautiful musical encounter that will remain with me forever.

LOVE FEEDS LOVE II Sequentia Legenda and Charlotte Abigaël Dubois


I DISCOVERED CHARLOTTE’S SONIC WORLD
it was immediately a delightful surprise 

What touched or inspired you when discovering the other’s musical universe?

Laurent: I discovered Charlotte’s sonic world through social media, and it was immediately a delightful surprise. I sensed a way of approaching music with softness, sincerity, and profound sensitivity.

Within her textures, I felt tenderness, serenity, and a kind of inner light that resonates particularly in a world in turmoil. This resonance touched me deeply. The idea of collaborating then arose naturally, almost as if it were meant to be.

How would you describe the energy or intention you wanted to convey through LOVE FEEDS LOVE II?

Laurent: With LOVE FEEDS LOVE II, I wanted to convey an energy of openness, connection, and shared love. The piece carries a movement of peace and elevation, an invitation to return to what truly connects us.

Charlotte’s theremin amplified this intention: its airy, almost vocal timbre wraps the composition in extra gentleness, like a tender gesture placed upon the music.

This work has become a space where light, compassion, and benevolence circulate freely. Unexpectedly, it also accompanies me through a new personal challenge—a separation that threatens my paternal bond. I miss Valentin deeply, yet I stand strong for both my sons. I believe in love, against all odds.

What has this collaboration brought you personally or artistically?

Laurent: This collaboration gave me a fresh breath, an artistic and human opening, and reminded me how music can be a space of communion.

Working with Charlotte brought freshness, a new emotional color, and enriched my own vision. It allowed me to advance further in my inner mission, which grows ever more important: to share light, tenderness, and beauty through music, especially at a time when values seem challenged.

The fluidity with which everything unfolded touched me deeply. On a more intimate level, this collaboration revived the sense that some encounters are no coincidence but part of the synchronicities that mark our path and guide us.

 

A RAY OF LIGHT by Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music


I SEE COLLABORATIONS 
AS A MUSICAL AND HUMAN EXPANSION
an opening toward new horizons

I see collaborations as a musical and human expansion, an opening toward new horizons. My very first collaboration was with my friend Jean-Luc Briançon (Kurz Mindfield), which was both a demanding and deeply enriching challenge.

Afterwards, I had the pleasure of working with Tommy Betzler, a multi-talented drummer, sharing wonderful experiences on stage. Those moments pushed me beyond my limits while building bridges between our artistic worlds, leaving lasting impressions in both our hearts.

I cannot forget Nicolas Picciotto, whose generosity supported me during the double album The 432 Hz Berlin School Box, offering both precision and guidance in realizing this ambitious project.

Finally, there is Hélène Vogelsinger, with whom a collaboration was initially planned for the track CIRCUMNAVIGATION. I still hope that one day we will bring this artistic encounter to life, letting our vibrations intertwine.

Each collaboration has allowed me to broaden my vision, refine my sonic universe, and fully experience musical sharing, while deepening the human connection so precious on my journey.

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 by Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

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.



DECEM by Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

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.

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.




DVD LIVE IN EINDHOVEN Sequentia Legenda Berlin School music

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.

Thanks to Daniela Grau, Anke Betzler, Marc van Oers, Jan Buddenberg, AstroGeert Fotografie, Andre Stooker, Alfred Arnold, and Alex Wijffels for kindly sharing the various videos/photos included in the bonus. Thanks to Nicolas Picciotto for his attention. Special thanks to my 💗💗 two sons for their kindness and goodwill. Thanks, of course, to my stage mate Tommy Betzler🥁

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.

For me, this project is much more than just a recording; it's a testament to our musical journey and the special connection we share with the audience. Thank you to everyone who has made this project possible and to you, our listeners, for your continued support.

Enjoy the show and let yourself be swept away by the magic of this concert!
