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.

音楽家のインタビューでよく聞かれる質問の一つが「最初に買ったアルバムは?」というもの。僕はテクノのアーティスト/DJとしてプロのキャリアを始めたけれど、初めて買ったレコードはビリー・ジョエルだし、その後もプログレ、ニューウェーブ、そしてジャズ、現代音楽、R&B、ブラジリアンと渡り歩いてきたので、典型的なテクノ少年的な音楽遍歴ではない。僕にとってテクノとは、それらの音楽のグルーヴや躍動感を結晶化、あるいは抽出した「うまみ」のような存在。

感情を鍵盤に叩きつけるような、パーカッシブで荒っぽいピアノが大好きだ。ジャズならマッコイ・タイナー、そしてインディロックではベン・フォールズの演奏を時々猛烈に聴きたくなる。ピアノに限らず僕は、正確さよりもダイナミックさに惹かれるところがある。大学に入りたての頃、ファンカデリックのようなバンドをやりたくて幾つか音楽サークルを訪問したら、ユーミンのカバーをしていた上級生が「君、ピッキングが荒いね」。大学で音楽仲間を探すのはお門違いだった(笑)。

(2/2) そして、その「(一神教的な文明にある)西洋人が最も難解に感じる世界」は、実は我々東洋人にとってはこうした難解な本を読まずとも「さらっと肌で感じられる」世界だったりする。彼が「無門関」など、禅の公案をいくつも紹介しているのは決して偶然ではない。僕も日々LLMを活用しているが、「言語化の自己ループ」を飛び出て「不思議の環」に到達する人間の知能は、AIが設計する知能とは全く違うということを忘れずに、AIと向き合いたい。
