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.

アルバムのミックスダウンを追い込み、16曲を通し聴き。「なかなか良いじゃないの」と浸っていた11曲目、ふとファイル名を見て愕然とした。…これ、3週間前にアートワーク用に作った暫定版だ!その後、細部を詰めて取り組んできた作業の成果に、本人が全く気づいていなかったという事実。 ここは前向きに、「前のミックスの時点で、すでにほぼ完璧に仕上がっていたということだ」という、あふれんばかりの自己肯定感で突っ走ることにします(笑)。

人間が創造するものは常に諸刃の剣で、人の役に立つと同時に人を傷つけ、攻撃する道具にもなりうる。AIやハイテクのような今日的なもの以前に、まず「言葉」がそうだ。だが、扱いが難しい言葉とともに、音楽を構成する大事な要素である「メロディ」はどうだろう? メロディは、人間が創り出したものの中で唯一と言っていいくらいに「誰も傷つけない」ものではないか。先日他界したニール・セダカのこの名曲をふと思い出し、そんなことを考えた。

先日紹介したアビング氏の本では、ポップスターと貧乏な芸術家の対比が強調されていたが、実際は(欧米では特に)、世間の言うスーパースターは「スーパー破産人」であることも少なくない。エンタテイメント・ビジネスというのは結局のところ「人と金」の問題だから、ここに無頓着だったり安易に人任せにすると、スーパースターですら「そうめん流しの最後尾」になり、手元には借用書だけが残る。このビジネスの、創作以上にタフな「盲点」でもある。
