Between Time Fracture and Nuclear Warning Cry
Pierre Béloni, a singer-songwriter from Toulon, reveals 'Fracture du Temps', a dual musical and cinematic work.
This manifesto against the nuclear threat blends a musical composition in three acts with a powerful short film, in which Paris becomes the symbol of a fictional collapse. With his arranger Aurélien Morris, Pierre Béloni sculpts a sound and visual narrative that challenges as much as it disturbs. P.
B. answers questions from La Gazette du Var. After the release of two albums, 'Souffrances' and 'C'est la vie', with the track 'Toulon de mon enfance' which we featured in our columns a few weeks ago, you are presenting here a poignant musical and cinematic manifesto against the nuclear threat. Pierre Béloni.
The nuclear escalation chills me. The threatening speeches are no longer rhetorical; they are warnings. 'Fracture du Temps' is an artist's cry, but also and above all a man's cry. Is the song constructed in three acts?
P. B. Yes.
The first act evokes a peaceful, almost naive morning. The second is a brutal rupture, heavy metal style, jerky percussion: the detonation. The third is the aftermath. The adagio of chaos. Saturated guitars, irradiated silence. The world suspended.
The film shows Paris in a fictional reality hit by a nuclear missile. P. B. Paris is a symbol.
It is not a provocation, but a mirror. Fiction allows us to say what reality refuses. Every shot questions our fragility. This film is a warning, not a gratuitous shock. Cinematographically, did you use artificial intelligence?
P. B. Yes, but AI refuses to generate visual violence that is too realistic and scripted.
So I took back control in post-production with specialized software that I master perfectly and which existed long before AI. The whole thing was storyboarded beforehand: every shot, every special effect is thought out, orchestrated, and synchronized with the music. Musically, did you work with Aurélien Morris, your arranger?
P. B. Obviously.
Aurélien is a sound craftsman. He understood that this song was a sound narrative. Together, we sculpted the three acts so that they would be coherent and deeply moving. What message do you wish to convey?
P. B. That the nuclear threat is real.
That time is cracking. That art can be a shield against indifference. I refuse to watch the world sink in silence. Where can we discover Fracture du Temps?
P. B. The audio track is available on all streaming platforms.
The teaser and the short film are online on YouTube, as well as on my Facebook profile. It is a rare, urgent work, deeply rooted in our times. You just have to search on the network of your choice: Pierre Béloni - Fracture du temps, to find me.
