| The seventh Sequential Dreams album, “Legends” brings together a rich mix of electronic instrumental music in a thematic setting inspired by individual “tales.” Although taken individually, sections of Legends tracks may have a sound familiar to New Age or Ambient music genres, the listener will discover the progressive nature of the composition style as the sections evolve from a setting of gentle mystical beginnings which gradually transition into energetic finales blending rich layers of synthesizer textures and pads, with percussive sequences cut through by masterfully played guitars. To provide moments of relaxation and reverie, some pieces revolve around deeply emotional acoustic piano which bathe in synergistic layers of synthesizers pads and melodies with guitar lines which ebb and flow, following the evolving moods of the compositions. The listener will also be guided through the occasional moment of eastern traditional influences that add little unexpected moments of tribal discovery. The end result of a dedicated effort to synergistically align the rich musical contributions and influences of talented musicians from the Americas, Europe, and Asia, Sequential Dream’s “Legends” album is a sonic adventure not to be missed! Influences: Ambient and Ambient soundscapes, New Age, Berlin School Electronic Music, and Electronic Rock. creditsBernhard Beibl - cprod; c/p guitars, violin Mission to Shangri-La, Event Horizon, Canyon Oasis, Mojave Midnight, The Electric Monk; and cprod on The Big Apple and One Giant Leap Kori L.
