All that matters

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

“I wanna feel connected… outside my box.
See the light, be greeted… by other folks.
The warm hubbub of the pub… inebriating
a joyous mob off their gob… gobbledygooking.
À simple rumble,… a timeless happiness mess, Continue reading →

Bandcamp platform launch

Posted on May 13, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

Bonjour a tous, on this Sunday 13th of may 2018, we have the pleasure to announce that Our Bandcamp platform is now available. This is where we will give the possibility to our exclusive supporters to listen to professionally recorded productions.

There are 10 tracks total in 2 albums for now and we will be developing on a regular basis now. Much love to Mr Lach (Click here to discover) who inspired this start as the bloke is at least as mad as we are…. we may have to ask him for a poetry battle to settle on who is crazier.

Meanwhile here is where you can find our records: Benoit Pierre BenZ – Humming Bard
This also means that this website will be due a reorganisation soon! And after tonight we will start working on the Unicorn speaker project which aims to tour schools with stories and workshops….. but for now, we need to get ready for tonight’s show…. I need to plan the unplanned.

Much Love, and faith 🙂 And remember, Time is always now Continue reading →

Let’s Hear it

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

“either write something worth reading…. or live something worth writing about…!”. 

So there has been a lot of activities that my various selves have been undertaking. Please bear with us while we restructure our projects priorities. For now and before introducing correctly the unicorn (wth?*) …. yeah you read right….. So first things first, The event below will feature our musical self and much rehearsals and open mics etc have drawn our time and energies.

Much thanks to Tommy Binks of Twoteas records who kindly recorded 4 of our tracks on a casually mad afternoon….. and probably regretted having ever proposed the idea!

Scroll down for a Musical Pre-hearing. Continue reading →

To create everyday #7

Posted on March 15, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

Catching up with my current serie of excerpts,this piece is already a few weeks old! The last week or so have seen quite a few things developing, as I am now officially a poet on bail! As such, and to catch up with my duties, and before beginning a new serie, I should publish here and now the 7th excerpt of th Raven’s Forgotten and Unpublished Grimoire #RFUG7 . If you are familiar with the serie already, you may notice a slight change in the theme’s usual structure. With no further ado, enjoy. Continue reading →

Ameyrica II Ameyndments

Posted on March 14, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

So here we are again, in the street of ex-leafy Sheffield, where I am not allowed because on bail….. which hopefully will soon be amended to allow me to collect more artistic evidence from the incredible one-in-a-lifetime human experience in the making there (albeit a 100m from work zones…… but possibly with a megaphone!).

This is the second parchment of words and their definition that we have recollected from our anthropological excursions in the Stump city. Enjoy Continue reading →

The morning after #6

Posted on February 24, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

I remember writing it more as recreational fun rather than in the view of publishing it. I wanted to express the idea than as humans we are designed to feel and experience life but some of us never wake up from their screen.

For the full text with better readability:

1/ It was the morning after, I’ve never felt more blissful ever. From the first…

2/…From the first second forth and on, since on that day and ever since, my soul awoke in…

3/…My soul awoke in this bed. The night had turned my whole being into a furnace of happiness. Exulting with… Continue reading →

1/ A coffee, and a cigarette, / as it’s always been. / The first to feel awake, / the last …

2/ The last to forget the grind. / Five times a day since twenty years, / for the next ten, and now again, / another one with…

3/ Another one with my colleagues, / who do the same / since twenty years for the next nine. / A coffee to…

4/ A coffee to keep productive, / a cigarette to cope with the stress, / and to feel less alone in all that mess. / sometimes I wish… Continue reading →

Quieter than snow…#4

Posted on February 19, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

I wrote this piece as an homage to all the victims of wars, the civil casualties who have been at the wrong place at the wrong time. To those who bled just so we could understand the price of freedom. To the unknown friends wiped before we could meet. Continue reading →

Lighter than water #RFUG3

Posted on February 16, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

1_. Here I am, just a piece of paper, floating on the river, to remind you that…

2_. To remind you that life could be as simple as me, I too am on a journey you see, hopefully to…

3_. Hopefully to the ocean and further, I guess it will depend on the weather! I have been…

4_. I have been dropped earlier and somehow, I’ve ended up on this flow, which gently… Continue reading →
