I will keep on being the same man I was on 12th of March, 1975: I refuse Universal studios linked to Tbilisi radio (Bieloru, Georgi ex-USSR etc), and majors as Sony, Warner, BMG, EMI, etc, since I am birthed for I don't make noise and baseness. I have soon told this. I act my thought decisions, to be independant.
Vous remarquerez que cette page est une preuve de plus que je n'ai pas le temps de m'occuper du bruit, et ce, depuis un temps phénoménal: je ne sais quasiment rien de la laideur et ne veux pas y mettre le nez.
Now you know this, you can notice you are in the good page for my musical works: I have no identitary problem, as the schize of metis peoples does not exist.
Then, you know I am who I have decided to be, and you identify me very well: I am not an Alien in New-York, I am a self-made man in Dijon-Europa, and I don't care about propagandae and hawkings.
Je ne suis ni un label, ni un studio d'enregistrement public, ni une multinationale, ne suis pas franchisé: je ne produis que moi-même et n'édite que moi-même (auto-production et auto-édition).
Je tiens à préciser que lorsque je fais des citations de certaines musiques pré-existantes, je n'en ai fait que des citations dans des compositions personnelles et ai déclarées lesdites citations à la SACEM lors de mon dépôt légal en tant qu'Auteur-Compositeur adhérent à la SACEM depuis 1996 (de mémoire), ainsi les Droits d'Auteur.e afférents à d'autres Auteur.e.s-Compositeur.trice.s et Sociétés d'Edition(s) éventuelles sont respectés tel que dans les Bulletins de Déclaration titre par titre afférents et efférents, répartis directement à qui de Droit par la SACEM. Tout ce que je fais est légal et déclaré, et je suis ce que l'on peut dire, un "self-made man à la française" ou "à l'européenne". Je tiens à le préciser ici pour que personne ne puisse prétendre avoir pris exemple sur moi en diffusant des musiques et/ou textes sans en avoir le ou les Droits puisque ce n'est pas mon cas: je le redis, tout ce que je fais est légal et déclaré (SACEM/SACD/SGDL/SDRM/ADAGP/etc).
