About Me |
|
The Langston Hughes project est une mise en lumière des poèmes de LangstonHughes, sous forme d'un concert qui combine musique, poèsie et marionnettesélectroniques dans une expérience ou l'on écoute les images pour voir la musique . Langston Hughes (1902-1967) poète afro-amèricain qui a porté un regard singuliersur sa communauté et son territoire (de Harlem au Sud profond) . Ses poèmes sontautant de chroniques qui dressent le portrait d'un peuple dans ses espoirs et saréalité, ils dépassent les questions raciales pour s'adresser à l'esprit de tous avecforce et sensibilité . Les compositions musicales de Joe Doherty (1967- ) et leur interprétation (Joe, Agnès et Thomas) sont un voyage aux racines du Rock à la croisé du Folk et de la Country oùle Blues régne en maitre Dans ce grand théâtre des mots où la musique construit l'espace, des marionnettesélectroniques vont s'animer et transporter la poèsie dans le présent par delà lesnotes là où l'experience commence...

Music:Member Since: 11/17/2006Band Members: I'm working on a project concerning the poems of Langston Hughes. This all started 5 years ago when I was asked to participate in a Slam event in Toulouse. For the show I wanted to show the exisitence of black poems well before the arrival of Gil Scott Heron and The Last Poets. Over the years I keep finding more poems. To help me remember them I turn them into songs and they've been accumulating like dust under the bed. This is my spring clean and I now have about 30 songs incorporating almost 50 poems. Something must be done. As Malcolm X wrote ;I tell sincere white people, “Work in conjunction with us - each of us working among our own kind.” Let sincere white individuals find all other white people they can who feel as they do - and let them form their own all - white groups, to work trying to convert other white people who are thinking and acting so racist. Let sincere whites go and teach non-violence to white people! So far the demos you hear have all been played by myself, as a sort of virtual band. Live, I'm lucky to have Agnès Doherty (http://www.cric-crac.net)my wife on the doublebass and Thomas Fiancette (http://www.myspace.com/thomasfiancette) on drums. Whilst we play Bouba and Jahco from Animaçao (http://www.numericircus.net/mario.htm)throw light and movement on the poems. The YouTube videos let you have an idea of the show we do. Influences: I've a wide taste in music from Folk to Free, Classical to Jazz, Rock to Rap.
