Regulatory comittee

Member of Sacem since 2002.

I trained at the CRR (Regional Conservatory) and the Paris Conservatory, but my biggest influences have been encounters with O. Greif, P. Hersant and H. Dutilleux. I’ve had a two-strand career as a teacher and instructor (teaching harmony and musical theory at theParis Conservatory, for the certificate d’aptitude and diplôme d’État), before devoting myself exclusively to composition 5 years ago. My work does not rule out any stylistic or aesthetic combination.

The following were helpful to my career: the bourse Banque Populaire 2008, the Francis and Mica Salabert award 2014, the Sacem Grand Prize for young symphonic music composers 2016.

I am currently working on production of my opera Fando et Lisin St. Etienne, which is based on the work of Fernando Arrabal, after a 4-year residency with the Brittany Symphony Orchestra.
Some projects in store for 2018-19: Trois choeurs (for the Maîtrise de Radio France ensemble), Poème symphonique (Brittan Symphony Orchestra), Sinbad (a children’s story). I like to refer to my work as a “quest for the energy in sound, carried by its meaning”. I am also artistic director of the Autour festival in Ventoux, and the XXIè Parallèle ensemble, both dedicated to contemporary music.

Managing Director of the publishing company Musicales Artchipel (SARL EMA)

Born in 1962, Jean-Paul Secher studied music at the National Conservatoire of Nantes, taking classes in piano, singing and orchestral conducting. He obtained a degree in musicology from the University of Tours. Attracted by the human voice, he was naturally drawn to the role of accompaniment and has played many concerts as an accompanist, and also performed chamber music and in particular sonatas in the 1990s with a violinist from the OPPL (Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire) . He also taught piano in the same period and conducted a number of choirs.

He also had an interest in music publishing and offered his services to various publishers, writing piano scores for vocal or operatic works and music engraving. He entered the Paris National Opera where he managed all operatic scores for three years in the library copying department. He stayed in touch with the publishers and developed relationships with world-class musicians (musicians from the orchestra of the Paris National Opera, invited conductors, opera singers and composers) while developing a computerised system of music engraving.

In April 2007, Jean-Paul Secher set up Editions Musiques Artchipel of which he is the director. He has established a catalogue of contemporary classical music.

Member of Sacem since 2003.

Member of Sacem since 1985.

Philippe Gautier studied foreign languages with an emphasis on cinema and obtained a master’s degree in English with a thesis covering avant-garde French films of the 1930s to New York underground films of the sixties and seventies. He obtained a DEA (master of advanced studies) in film studies at the Paris I University, studying under tutors such as Jean Rouch and Eric Rohmer.

He directed a Super 8 short film, La Marque du Destin (1978), with Pascal Greggory and Edwige Belmore, followed by a short film with Farid Chopel, La Poudre aux Yeux (1983).

In 1985, his third music video, Marcia Baïla, which he wrote and directed for the band Les Rita Mitsouko, was a great success and elevated him to the ranks of directors frequently called upon by record labels to direct music videos. Marcia Baïla was featured in Video Music, a retrospective by the Museum of Modern Art in New York on music videos from the sixties to the eighties.

An iconic figure in the world of French music video, Philippe Gautier is also a prolific and eclectic director. His works include Marcia Baila et Andy (Les Rita Mitsouko), Le jour s’est levé (Téléphone), C’est la Ouate (Caroline Loeb), Seules les filles pleurent (Lio), Revival (Eurythmics), Au Charme Non Plus and Dis-lui toi que je t’aime (Vanessa Paradis), Saudade (Étienne Daho), Baïla Me (Gipsy Kings), Didi (Khaled), Déjeuner en Paix (Stephan Eicher), Laissez Passer les Rêves (France Gall and Michel Berger), and others.

Music for the moving image is the passion of this director, photographer and art director; a passion that he has expressed through recordings of concerts, profiles of artists, short videos, documentaries and works of fiction. Music, yes, but music of every kind.

What does Michel Legrand have in common with Matthieu Chédid, Alexandre Tharaud and JoeyStarr, Diane Reeves and Nolwenn Leroy?
They’re all the same man – François Goetghebeur, inspired by artists working in all genres of music. For fifteen years, this atypical filmmaker has been known for his talent for capturing both the essence of the music and the soul of those performing it.
Whether filming symphonic or rap music, Mahler’s complete symphonies or the Soldat Rose musical, he does it with the same care and infuses it with his unique style, sense of intimacy and passion.
He works tirelessly on every assignment to explore, invent and to bring to life original concepts, rather than repeating the same old television formats.

Voulzy in St. Eustache’s church, Le Forestier in San Francisco and Booba in Berct – these are all his work. The seremony for the 30th anniversary of the Victoires de la Musique and the 14 July celebrations at the Eiffel Tower were also by him. The orchestre conductor Laurent Petitgirard in Moscow and singer Alain Chamfort in the Luxembourg Gardens – him again.

Not to mention Chorégies d’Orange, the Union of Artists gala or the Piaf special in New York. Wherever music is performed, François Goetghebeur is there with his camera. From theatre to TV set, from the wings to centre stage, he has no equal when it comes to creating a feeling of intimacy among musicians, actors, dancers and singers, expressed through their art and their personalities.  He has captured the performances of Vanessa Paradis, Raphael, Jean-Louis Aubert, Sheila and Julien Clerc through his camera lens, for posterity.

Having shot several short films that have won awards as far afield as the United States and collaborated with Jacques Audiard and Luc Besson, François Goetghebeur is now working on his first film for cinema. You can be sure there will be music in this too.
