I’ve never been immune to the desire for recognition. Over time, I’ve learned that it can coexist with another kind of joy: making music, exploring, starting over, with no guarantee of success. Recognition matters, but it doesn’t define creation.
@elonmusk Given the current state of American democracy, extreme polarization, money-driven politics, institutional fragility, lecturing the EU on governance seems a bit premature.
@GabrielAttal Vous parlez de “positions du passé” dans le débat sur les retraites, pourtant votre façon de balayer la taxe Zucman relève précisément d’un logiciel ancien : celui où l’on refuse toute contribution des ultra-riches, même lorsque les données montrent l’inverse.
What circulates depends mostly on attention, algorithmic design, network dynamics, and contingency.
Work sustains creation not necessarily visibility.
Meritocracy isn’t a mechanism.
It’s a functional myth.
The music industry is often described as a place where “merit” eventually rises.
It’s a convenient narrative: it motivates creators and keeps the platforms running.
The reality is less romantic.
I create the way one extends a natural movement, without expecting from the industry what it never promised.
If a track circulates, good.
If not, it still carried forward the force that moves me.
In the end, the only stage that never collapses is the one where you meet yourself.
It took me years to clearly separate two realities:
the inner drive that pushes me to create (what Spinoza would call conatus),
and the music industry.
These two worlds follow different logics, different rules, and serve very different ends.
@JlGirault Donc, si quelqu’un hérite de 5 millions, il est plus « méritant » qu’un gamin qui travaille dur mais part de rien ? La réussite, ce n’est pas seulement une histoire d’effort individuel, c’est aussi une question de point de départ et d’opportunités.
The track is ready.
“I Heard That” drops on June 6, 2025.
A memory returning — gently, like a pulse between presence and loss.
Thanks to everyone supporting this journey.
