OVER THERE : A THIRTY-FIVE YEAR OLD BERLIN SCHOOL 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.
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.

A TITLE IN MEMORY OF LEONARDO DA VINCI
I closed my eyes. I immersed myself in the atmosphere of the time.
I then felt this incessant need for research, this haunting loneliness and also these few more festive moments. Stone, wood, high ceilings, long corridors, footsteps, spiral stairs.
I then began to imagine the scientist in his workshop lit by candles and torches, where countless documents of all kinds were lit up. Notes, books, scattered over several long wooden tables, between scientific instruments and tin dishes. Papers, scrolls, they even had some on the ground. Little by little, the shades of my first sound painting seemed obvious, that of paying tribute to Leonardo da Vinci.
