Billboard biz

Tatsuya had a long interview with Mark Frieser, contributing writer of Billboard biz and founder of Sync Summit /Sync Exchange.

This was originally held as a series of interviews on Billboard biz he has been working on from the standpoint of “possibilities of music licensing business,” and the article has been pre-published on Sync Exchange and Music2Deal websites (as well as Blog page on this website). Publication on Billboard.com is due in this early summer.

While we comprehensively covered many topics about music licensing business, these are based on what he has actually experienced and learned for years. We hope this article will be helpful for independent musicians and publishers who have been exploring possibilities of the music business on a daily basis.

If you’re interested in Mark’s other interviews with Gerald Casale (Devo), Martyn Ware (Heaven 17), Chuck D (Public Enemy), Mathew Knowles (Music World Entertainment, and Beyonce’s father), etc., check out Billboard.biz and Sync Summit pages. These precious talks with the music industry greats should be helpful for you as well.

ロックはもちろん、R&Bやヒップホップといったアメリカのメインストリーム音楽は、もはや「レガシー」の域に入っていて、型破りで新鮮な音楽に出会う機会が減ったのは確か。そんな中ゴスペルの世界では、「一体どうなってるの?」と仰天するような曲やクオリティの高い演奏にしばしば出会う。「神への賛美と希望」というメッセージさえブレなければ、すべての音楽スタイルがゴスペルになるという、超絶的な懐の深さがあるのだろう。才能が集まるのも頷ける。

音楽以外で時間を割いているのが語学と数学の勉強。教養のためではなく、実用を目指すからこそ現実とのギャップに気が遠くなる。英語だってそうだったから、習得には膨大な時間がかかるものだと割り切り、気長に取り組むのが大事。しかし、なぜ音楽だけは挫折を感じないのか。作曲を始めた時点で、すでに膨大な量の音楽が自分の中に蓄積され「準備が整っていた」のもあるが、一番には「他人と比較して優劣を考えない」からだと思う。ありがたい。

アルバムのタイトルと収録曲が決定。すべて新曲のCaptain Funkが、新たなスタイルで帰ってきます。ところで、このMaxwellのデビュー作を愛聴していた’96年、僕はまだ会社員。帰宅後に欧州のレーベルに送るためのデモ作りに明け暮れていた。翌年のNY出張で、街の至る所で彼の曲が流れていたのを覚えている。幸い、僕もその年にデビューできたのだから、今思えば運が良すぎた(笑)。30年という年月は長いようで、ほんの一瞬。
