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.

Dark Modelのニューアルバム、大枠が完成しました。これから数週間かけてミックスダウンを行います。準備段階からじっくり時間をかけた分、かなり中身の濃い作品になりそうです。毎回アルバム作りの終盤になると、「これ以上のものはしばらく作れないな」と思うのだけど、数か月経つとそんな気持ちもどこへやら、気づけば次の作品に取り掛かっている。このサイクルが30年近く続いているのは、本当にありがたいことです。

経済に限らず悪いニュースがあると「政治家が悪い!」という風に犯人探しをしたくなるけれど、上位国の政治家がそれほど優秀で国民想いかというと…全然そんなことはないのは秒速で分かる(笑)。 GDP=国の価値ではないけれど、今の日本は仕事の付加価値(レバレッジ)も勢いも少し寂しい。誰かを責める前に、かつてのような「がむしゃらな風土」がなくなった現実を、一人一人がそっと受け止める時期なのかもしれない。

EW&Fというバンドを偉大にしたのは、親方であるモーリス・ホワイトの壮大なビジョンや統率力によるところが大きい。けれど音楽的には、弟ヴァーディンのベースアレンジが大きく貢献しているように思う。 彼のスタイルはいわゆるファンク特有のシンコペーションの反復ではなく、むしろポール・マッカートニーやモータウン的なランニングベース、あるいは対位法的なアプローチの応用に聴こえる。…と思ったら、インタビューで本人がまさにそう語っていた(笑)。
