Bpm 100 : a poem (sample Nathalie Perroni) 00:57
lyrics
buy track
I chose one hundred I have no idea What's my bpm? What's in me? I followed the rules Cuz I was lazy I can't tell this story in french This is crazy One day you try To listen to what's inside It isn't quiet Nothing is clear Like Neo I was unplugged I know my voice is not mine Who's talking? Slow down

Bpm 95 : a poem 00:58

She said Just keep it simple You tend to talk too much You're scared Around people And now your phone is your crutch And while you scroll I'm all alone My kids are gone Give me a call 8000 miles away No right to be sad Grown woman don't be a child You thought you knew who you were Just ask me In 95 heartbeats

Bpm 90 : a poem (sample Lokua Kanza) (free) 00:57
lyrics

I close my eyes and heard her I stopped the race to listen Is it ok? If I stay home In my pjs And read all day? Guess what they say Be a worker Be a mother Don't betray I wanna grow grandma's garden Believe like Jill life is golden 90 beats per minute Many desires to visit Wanna find another way To cherish the day

Bpm 85: a poem (sample Cameleon) 00:56
lyrics

Did I loose my appetite? Did I fail? Or is the flamme hard to ignite? In this cage? Slowed down the bpm From 100 to 85 Still I don't know where The truth is to be found I know I don't deserve your time May you stumble on these rhymes I did not pay to reach your ears I throw this bottle to the sea

about

(Français)
Quand les gens font un son, une chanson, le choix de la vitesse, du "bpm", c'est super important. L'impression sur ceux qui écouteront ne sera pas du tout la même. Ces derniers temps, j'ai pensé à l'idée de pulsation intérieure. Chacun son rythme, mais notre environnement nous impose une cadence qui ne nous convient pas forcément. Tout va trop vite ou trop lentement. Pas facile d'accepter de ne pas être synchronisé avec les autres. Ni de reconnaître qu'en fait on n'a peut être pas trouvé le bon tempo. ça m'a inspiré une création: "What's your bpm?" , 4 poèmes sonores & visuels sur la recherche du bon tempo...

(English)
When you craft a track or a song, the choice you make for the "bpm" (the tempo) is critical. Depending on it, the feeling you pass on to the listener will not be the same at all. Lately, I've been thinking about this idea of the internal pulse. Everybody has their own rhythm, and our external environment forces on us one that does not always fit. Everything is too fast or too slow. But it is not easy to feel desynchronized. Nor is it to admit that maybe we did not find the right tempo? This inspired me to create
"What's your bpm?", 4 poems with sound & video, to reflect on our inner rhythm...
