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.

3月は事務作業が多く、音楽を浴びる時間が減る。散歩や運動中は語学番組やオーディオブックを聴くことが多く、音楽の出番が少ない。間もなく運動公園の近くに引っ越す予定なので、そこで音楽を聴きながら安全に歩こうと思う。日本では自転車の交通違反が厳格化されるが、歩行者にとって、接近してくる自転車の動きや距離感が(自動車のそれと違って)どれだけ予測不能で、ランダムで怖いかを、運転者側に理解・想像させるのは絶望的に難しい。

昨年末に「今年はAIチャットによくお世話になった」と書いてまだ2か月だが、このところめっきり使う頻度が減り、サブスクもやめた。期待できる答えが返ってくる分野が意外と限られている(コーディングとか)ことが分かったので、それ以外のことを真剣に聞くだけ時間の無駄と思うようになったというのが近い。Redditとかでは「ChatGPT最近、マジでムカつくし、うざい」などと言われているが、機械相手に感情的になるくらいなら、電源を切って外に出よう。

大学生の頃に読んだマリー・シェーファーの『サウンド・エデュケーション』。彼が示した「サウンドスケープ(音の風景)」という概念は、音を取り巻く環境や生態系など「音との関係性」を問い直すきっかけをくれた。後に環境庁が「日本の音風景100選」を選定したが、収録音のチョイスやクオリティの素晴らしさはさておき、その実態は「音の風景」というよりも「風景の音(フィールドレコーディング)」に近い感じがした。ここに、あえてパルス音でも混ぜてみたい(笑)。
