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.

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。

僕がプロとして音楽を始めた頃、ダンスミュージックの魅力の一つに「匿名性の面白さ」があった。DJがスピンする曲で盛り上がっていても、どの国の誰の曲か分からないし、そんなことに関心を持つ気配もない。DJブースの場所や、誰がプレイしているのかすら分からないこともあった。その晩のヒーロー/主役はDJではなく(グルーヴや音の響き、ストーリーなど、すべてを含めて)「音」。Ron TrentのDJは、そんな純度の高い音楽体験を提供し続けている。

最近のUK/USインディ・レーベルの音をチェックしていると、「インディ」とは思えないほど、新人でも随分豪華なミュージックビデオ(MV)を作っている。複数のAIに「販促・宣伝費はどうやって捻出するの?」と聞いたところ、「実質的にはアーティストがレーベルにローン(前借り)する形です。アーティストは“リスクは最初に負い、報酬は最後に得る存在”なのです」と返ってきた。そうした世界とは無縁に、音楽業を30年、レーベルを20年続けてこられたことは奇跡かもしれない。
