La bio classique, un peu promotionnelle, rien de tel: né en 1959, ma découverte du monde de la musique en 1980 passe par des productions audiovisuelles underground, cold wave, new wave, ou world music… Sans sombrer, ni traîner dans les pubs, c'est au cinéma que je consacre ensuite mon énergie, dans une officine de coproduction soutenant des projets alternatifs qui rencontrent pourtant un retentissement mondial, primés à Cannes, à Venise, aux Césars, nommés aux Oscars… C'est au sein d'une télévision périphérique francophone, diffusée en hertzien, par câble et satellite, que je renoue avec le monde de la musique, en créant des structures qui permettent encore aujourd'hui de capter des concerts live pour diverses chaînes, des plus connus des artistes, aux plus pointus.

Thus the moral law, by means of the conception of the summum bonum as the object of a pure practical reason, determines the concept of the First Being as the Supreme Being; a thing which the physical (and in its higher development the metaphysical), in other words, the whole speculative course of reason, was unable to effect.
— from The Critique of Practical Reason by Immanuel Kant

Now since the promotion of this summum bonum, and therefore the supposition of its possibility, are objectively necessary (though only as a result of practical reason), while at the same time the manner in which we would conceive it rests with our own choice, and in this choice a free interest of pure practical reason decides for the assumption of a wise Author of the world; it is clear that the principle that herein determines our judgement, though as a want it is subjective, yet at the same time being the means of promoting what is objectively (practically) necessary, is the foundation of a maxim of belief in a moral point of view, that is, a faith of pure practical reason.
