The best part about music blogging is, as you might have guessed, listening to the music. Of course it is, why else would anyone start a music blog? Even so, sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind of searching for new music, going through album after album. When consuming music at such a rapid pace, it can be hard for things to have a truly lasting effect. That being said, I live for the times when I connect with an album on a much deeper level – when everything else fades away into the background as the music surrounds me and brings about intense personal revelation. It is for these beautiful moments that I invest so much time and effort into searching for new music, connecting with new artists, and helping to expose new audiences to their amazing potential. Thus, I take it as my solemn duty to extend to you an amazing opportunity.
It is one that I, myself, took advantage of just yesterday. It is the opportunity to let go of the world for just forty minutes or so, and be transported into the realm of Ben Lukas Boysen. He has been making music under the name Hecq for many years now, specializing in sound design and electronic composition. He has done a lot of work in the past writing music for commercials, with clients such as BMW, Greenpeace, Lacoste, and MTV. On his website, he states that his main idea behind each new project is “moving away from music and sound as a product and perceive every project as a customizable and individual challenge.” He strives to find a way of make each project unique and to achieve the strongest emotional impact in everything that he does. Anyone who is familiar with his work as Hecq can confirm that he follows up on these words with incredible music.
