Bernhard Beibl Interview (by Wolf Red) - January 2017
The following is the transcript of an interview with Modul303.com Radio show host Wolf Red
BB: The electric guitars used on the tracks were my orange Ibanez RG and my Fender Telecaster RK played through Marshall TSL 100 Head and or Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (formerly belonged to Edgar Froese btw :)
Also a Fractal Audio Axe FX8 was used for some parts.
The Marshall 1960A cab was miked with Shure Beta57, SM57 and Audix i5.

Wolf Red: Would you have any opinions to share on differences between the
sound of the previous Sequential Dreams album “Legends” versus the latest album “The Exodus Wave”?
BB: The Exodus Wave sounds has a bit more of a space movie soundtrack.
There are a lot more soundscapes and sound-FX while Legends was more song-oriented IMHO.
So just take a seat on the next spaceship to Mars and make sure to bring your copy of “The Exodus Wave” on board!
Wolf Red: Sequential Dreams has often made reference to having some Tangerine Dream influences, musically speaking. Given your own previous experience playing guitar with Tangerine Dream, could you qualify to what extend you feel Sequential Dreams has musical similarities with TD?
BB: For sure every electronic band sounds a bit like TD. Some have been more influenced and others less. I think Ron (a.k.a.: Kuutana) is a huge TD fan - so i guess he’s on the “more influenced”-side of the force!
And, for sure if you put some tracks played by the guitarist who played 8 years for TD into an electronic music project there might be some little similarities… but no bad ones I hope! To me the sound and the music of Sequential dreams seems a bit more fresh… a bit more modern… that’s why i really enjoy being part of this project for the 2nd time already!

Wolf Red: Would you have words to share on how working on Sequential Dreams projects, in such a remote fashion, has been different to you than working on your Tangerine Dream albums in the past?
