Du graphisme à la musique: la reconversion de Ben Heine


Le Rochefortois Ben Heine est un artiste complet. Avec son nouveau clip "Hagards", il tourne la page du graphisme pour se tourner vers la musique.

On connaissait déjà le jeune artiste, Ben Heine, Rochefortois d'adoption, on connaissait ses talents en arts plastiques et notamment dans le graphisme. On connaît moins le musicien, et pourtant, dans son studio, depuis quatre ans, il compose ses musiques écrit des textes et réalise des clips.

"La musique permet d'exprimer des choses que je n'arrivais pas à exprimer dans l'art graphique. Ça me permet de toucher les gens de manière différente et surtout à travers les chansons et les textes, je peux exprimer des messages et des idées parfois de manière plus profonde parfois de manière plus subtile que je ne le faisais quand je quand je faisais du dessin ou la peinture. Donc pour moi c'est quelque chose d'enrichissant de passer d'un médium à un autre. C'est un gros challenge et c'est une source de satisfaction continue."

Son nouveau clip, intitulé "Hagards ", c'est une réaction aux attentats de Bruxelles et de France, qu'il l'a réalisé avec son ami cameraman Julien Dewitte.

Une condamnation du terrorisme que l'on doit subir et qui nous laisse hagards, c'est bien sûr le message de ce clip. C'est aussi un message d'espoir de se dire qu'il y a toujours une possibilité de rebondir et de retrouver une vie comme avant. Avec ce clip, Ben Heine tourne progressivement la page du graphisme qui reste évidemment présent dans son approche. Actuellement, l'artiste travaille sur de nouvelles chansons et d'autres projets musicaux alors que son clip "Hagards" fait son chemin sur le net.

"C'est par la musique que j'ai voulu partager mes émotions sur cette actualité lourde et pesante. La musique me permet aussi à travers les mots de pouvoir aborder cette thématique tout en subtilité, sans que ce soit trop trash ou trop léger, de manière juste adéquate, selon moi."

Paroles: HAGARDS

On est tous un peu hagards 
Après ce terrible cauchemar 
On aimerait garder l'espoir
Et revenir tout au départ
On voudrait bien avoir le temps
De savourer chaque moment

Ici bas tout brillera
Quand y'aura plus ces hommes là
Pour que disparaisse la douleur
Et qu’on n’ait plus jamais peur
Du dernier battement de coeur
De la dernière goutte de sueur

On n'est pas égalitaires
Même si on respire le même air
On n'est pas tous solidaires
Même si on creuse la même terre
Certains ne pensent qu'à eux mêmes
Quand d'autres savent dire "je t'aime"

Liberté, fraternité
Egalité, rêves éveillés
Certains se sont égarés
D'autres sont même enfermés
Dans une prison dorée
Do ré mi facile à solder

Stop à la violence
Il faut que s'arrête la démence
Tends la main vers l'étranger
Ne deviens pas un condamné
Vis l'amour et pas la haine
Ou c'est la mort qui t'entraîne

The road never ends. Believe in your future. This is another photo I took during my pilgrimage towards Santiago de Compostela. Beautiful memories. The above picture has been shot with the Samsung NX11 (Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd). In memory of Steve Jobs, the man who changed everybody's life. RIP...

"There are no problems, only solutions." Keep walking, keep following your path. Don't pay attention to the people that want you to disappear, just see the positive things happening in your life! This is a photo I took a few kilometers before I arrived to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain.

These boots were left behind by an anonymous person... Lots of random objects can be found along the Camino, this is mainly because the pilgrims want to throw away their heavy belongings so that they can walk faster... The person walking is a girl (not a boy) with a huge pilgrim bag! "Cariño" in Spanish means "Darling" in English.

Another picture I took in Braives (Belgium) a few days ago. This field was beautiful with amazing tracks and trees perfectly placed. The above photo has been shot with the Samsung NX10, provided by Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd.

He Is a Real
Magical Man


By Peter S. Quinn

He is a real magical man
Walking down the magical span
Making so much magical for everyone’s treat

Not everything needs to be true
Though it’s going to be like it seems too
In its way on every walking street

Magical man, please have a try
There is deep and there's blue sky
Magical man, make your own magical plan

He’s exited for what he is
Reaching the earth in watery bliss
Magical man, never reaching your own feet

Magical man keeps on flying
Go all the way in your trying
Bringing it all up into reality
In magic’s for all to see

Not everything needs to be true
Though it’s going to be like it seems too
In its way on every walking street

Magical man please has a try
There is deep and there's blue sky
Magical man, make your own magical plan

He is a real magical man
Walking down a magical span
Making so much magical for everyone’s treat

Ode To Change
.
By thepoetryman
.
(This poem is for President Elect
Barack Obama... and hope.)

.

How is it possible-
that, in an age of such a shredded foundation,
that, in an age of such unprecedented warring,
that, in an age of such unequaled corruption and
terrible sadness, a moment as this could come?

How is it possible-
that, after such machinations of greed and hubris,
we have the power to have witnessed this;
the moment now bending its light upon us,
directing us forward to our better selves?

How is it possible-
that we now proceed with this stunning milestone,
that we march onward in the footprints of revolution
though the course is not curved of our choosing
and the strident shriek of the dying covers our skies?

How is it possible-
that we have stumbled to our rightful place of account,
wandered in on such lustrous and cheerful promise
standing now before our grasp, yet still untaken,
unused, and ready for our hands to shape into our art?

How is it possible-
with the end written before the bright and new beginning,
with our expectations rutted in dishonest obligation,
with the world’s eyes having peered down into our shame,
that our pathway is not ruled by immeasurable detonation?

How is it possible-
that, with such divergence and fragmentary mourning,
with stained waters and sky distorting our reflection,
with our differences still hidden in the visage of ghosts,
we were able to land here without knowing what’s next?

How is it possible-
that the air that we scorch doesn’t blink or make a sound
as we push and shove our burning way through it
with sorrow at our flank speaking of others as mere fodder
for our wholly unrestrained hubristic nourishment?

How is it possible-
that this plot has begun at the end of such torturous ire,
at the back of gloom instead of the heart of illumination?
That this moment even has words like hope and change within it
is certainly the most astounding thing of all!

Don't Pull The Trigger
.
PULL THE TRIGGER
.
By Misty Lackey
.
YOU ARE THERE TO
BE THE BULLET AND
WHEN YOU PULL MY
HEART THAT IS THE
TRIGGER THERE WILL
BE A RAGE FROM WITHIN
TO PAINT ALL COLORS
TO BLACK.

THE SKY ISN'T ALIVE
BUT WHEN YOU PULL
MY MIND THE SURFACE
ARRIVES TO DUST.
A SLOW DEATH ENDING
TO FEAR AND BREATH.
THE LIPS BREATHE.
YOU KISSED DEATH
RIGHT BETWEEN YOUR
ANGEL'S PRETTY DREAM.

SCREAM, DISARM YOUR
WEAPONS.
LOVE IS AN ARROW
YOU HAVE ALREADY
RELEASED THE CUPID.
LOVE IS BLIND TO
YOUR EYES.
LOVE IS ANGER AN
ETERNITY MIND TO
LIVE LIES.

LET COLORS
DIE AND SOULS
BLACK WILL
FOLLOW HELL.
WHITE TO
HEAVEN'S GATE
SING.
BUT YOU CAN'T LEAVE
YOU PULLED THE
TRIGGER AND
NOW THE INNER
WOUND IS DEAD.
