Tatsuya had an interview with Metropolis, Japan’s Number 1 English magazine (paper and digital). He talked mainly about Club Model Electronic, new digital download service and website launched by his own label Model Electronic. We hope you will visit the interview page and enjoy the article.

“Tatsuya Oe opens an online “club” for his banging digital creations”
https://archive.metropolis.co.jp/tokyo/775/clubs.asp

This interview mainly consists of the story about Club Model Electronic ( Captain Funk Official Store, as of 2010 ), including the introduction of me.

Thanks a lot to Metropolis & Don for your interest.

今から22、3年前、モーリー・ロバートソンさんの自宅で EMS Synthi A というスーツケース型シンセの実物を初めて見た。その後、新宿のリキッドルームで爆音ノイズのコラボ・ライブをさせていただいたことを思い出す。僕が日本を離れた後、モーリーさんの博識と洞察力、そして温厚な人柄が広くお茶の間に浸透し、その多才ぶりがさらに開花していくさまを頼もしく思っていた。心よりご冥福をお祈りします。

日々の業務でAIChatは色々と使っているが、音楽制作のアイデア出しや作曲ツールとして使うことはない。僕が惹かれるコードの響きやリズムのシンコペーション、「間」の取り方、そして展開の予測不能さは、AIが目指している方向とはまったく異なるし、AIにアドバイスされるのも困る(笑)。これは老子の言う「無用の用」なのかもしれない。役に立たない(=AIが「攻略できる」と興味を示さない)ものこそ、侵食されずに生き延びるということ。

アメリカにいると特に、「価格」と「価値」は全く別物だということを思い知らされる。このコラムにもあるように、もはや古典的なミクロ経済学の概念は殆ど意味をなさない。だが音楽ビジネスがさらに絶望的なのは、作り手側から「価格決定権」が完全に剥奪されてしまったことだ。プラットフォームやテック企業を非難するのはたやすいが、音楽業界側の脇の甘さと怠慢が招いた、「知恵比べの敗北」であることは否定できない。
