- I know that this channel is a loophole for many people, for everyday life and especially the world situation at the moment, and it is also for me. That’s why I allow myself to put this piece there, so that I can express my emotions a bit, and perhaps allow some people to feel them with me. Although my life is filled with happiness through art, artists, and the kindness of the people who are part of it, I constantly confront myself with hatred and violence; like all of us, I wonder what our existence would be like if we promoted happiness, personal development, joy and sharing for the benefit of a more beautiful, evolved and happy humanity, instead of hatred, ego and violence, which most artists, and a vast majority of people, fight day after day. Although war, conflict and massacres were perpetuated discreetly or without our knowledge, I think that the present events have made us realize it, and we must be united as one in the face of these wars that threaten innocent people, but also our own humanity as a species.
In these moments, I speak not on behalf of any religion, political, country, leader or whatever, but on behalf of the innocent and the human race, both those who are suffering, present in Ukraine, in Russia but also in all countries of the world. I feel tired, powerless against the face of human stupidity, repeating its past history and its biggest mistakes without learning from it. For no matter your position, your religion, your country, only a madman could imagine for a moment that war resolves conflicts, and repels evil, thinking that it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but as a wise wizard once said. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.
Know that wherever, and whoever you are, and especially if you know war or hate in your daily life, you will always find comfort in this channel and in my works because that is what art in general : sharing. In our creations today are the artists of the past, allowing us to stand up today, and I think it would be cowardly not to fight today, with respect to their principles, their legacies, and what they left us. You are not alone, for this is what makes our greatest strength as human beings, the quintessence of who we are: the spirit of sacrifice, and the notion of community, of family.
Take care of yourself, I wish you to continue to bring emotions to life through your art, or to encourage it, and never cease to fight against hatred and evil.

(As for the music, you may have recognized the national anthem of Ukraine at the beginning, arranged by me, as well as some reference to a great French composer at the end.)

No words can express the horror and panic I feel right now: what a pity and what a shame that we are still here! Your music translates this and brings a little light in the darkness. I wish your star will support many others! 🙏
