MY CREATIVE WORK IS A JOURNEY....

(“Music for Electric Metronome” Toshi Ichiyanagi - 1960)

Any creative work is a trajectory, a journey.

We never stand still. We move forward. We step sideways. We skip a step. Sometimes we go back. But we never stand still.

Creating music can be a mercenary, mercantile task, and sometimes you can't do otherwise when you make a living from your music, at least you can do it with integrity.

Creating music can also be an intimate, personal process, the vector of an existential quest, driven by the desire for new horizons, for surpassing oneself, for deepening oneself...

For me, the extraordinary power of sound is that it can express what words cannot...

And thus to initiate an intimate, profound, instinctive and necessary form of expression.

My compositions, my albums and the succession of my albums trace a path of life, sometimes fragile, sometimes determined...

For me, music is the fine tuning of a soul, a life, a sensitivity, an ear: mine.

It's a tool for self-understanding, a reflective mirror, a vital driving force.

Creating music, however, is not an egocentric, even autistic process.

To create music is to propose wavelengths, harmonics, that can vibrate the ear, the sensitivity, the soul of the listener.

I create music for this small listening community that has followed and supported me for years, all over the world, from Chile to Kazakhstan, from Canada to Australia and in all the worlds crossed by these diagonals...

And the existence of this listening community, of this fraternity of sensitivity and imagination, of this immense, collective, off-center virtual musical instrument that can vibrate to the same sounds and understand what I'm trying to express through sounds, all this is obviously what drives me to continue, to create, to share, in spite of and against the standards, compromises and diktats of the new dominant ecosystems of musical distribution...

Basically, today, I'm embarking on the next stages of my journey of life and creation without any second thoughts. The destination doesn't matter, it's the dynamics of creation that matter...
