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.

年齢を重ねるほど好奇心が広がり、学びたいことが増えて忙しくなる。日々の制作に加えて勉強したいことが山積み。だが、そこに焦りはない。制作に1000時間かかるアルバムを100時間で完成できても、そこに楽しさはないのと同じだ。自発的な学びや創作の醍醐味は「過程」にあり、効率やタイパとは全く次元が異なる。やってもやっても終わらない感覚。それは時間が足りない焦りではなく、「終わりなき充実感」の中にいるということだと思う。

Carol Robbinsというハープ奏者が演奏するインスト「Caminhos Cruzados」を聴いていて、タイトル(ポルトガル語で「十字路」)からして、以前どこかで聴いたことがある曲だと思っていたものの、調べるまでには至らなかった。先日、何気なく検索してみたら、トム・ジョビン作曲の超有名曲で、しかも大学時代に毎晩リピートして聴いていたジョアン・ジルベルトのアルバムに収録されていたのだった。もうこれで一生忘れない(笑)。

テクノロジーは常に「レイジー」と「クリエイティブ」の選択を迫る。 思考や感情をAIに丸投げして「楽をする」アプローチと、アイデアの「着想の種」として使い、編集や意図を人間が責任を持ってコントロールするアプローチは全く異なる。「今や誰もがスタジオでAIを使っている」というグラミー賞のエグゼクティブのコメントが引用されているが、もしそれがレイジーな使い方ばかりなのだとしたら、問題なのは技術ではなく使い手の姿勢や業界の文化だろう。
