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.

先日紹介した糸川英夫氏の本で、なぜ彼が飛行機製作に興味を持ったかが説明されていた。1927年にリンドバーグが飛行機での大西洋横断に成功した時、当時中学生だった糸川氏は彼に「太平洋はおまえが飛べ!」と言われた気がしたそうだ。人は自分で設定した目標が高いと挫折しやすいが、他人から頼まれた目標には(裏切れないという心理が働いて)使命感がより強くなるという。この「使命感をでっち上げる」という発想はぜひ参考にしたい。

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。
