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 (see page one).
2019: My youth project has become a reality.
FLOATING TIME: A MEDITATIVE BERLIN SCHOOL MUSIC
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 sky and the depths of the sea mix with floating sequences and whirling sounds.
MIND LAKE: AN INTROSPECTIVE BERLIN SCHOOL MUSIC
„I was immersed in the convolutions of my mind when, suddenly, 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.“
Michel RebelRaiser
OVER THERE 1984 – 2019
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.
