Besides a jury vote by a quite impressive set of artists and industry experts, there is also an audience award called Vox Populi. So register and cast your vote by giving 5 stars to your favorite (which I hope will be Dark Model, of course). I would appreciate if you let your friends know to vote as well!

音楽家のインタビューでよく聞かれる質問の一つが「最初に買ったアルバムは?」というもの。僕はテクノのアーティスト/DJとしてプロのキャリアを始めたけれど、初めて買ったレコードはビリー・ジョエルだし、その後もプログレ、ニューウェーブ、そしてジャズ、現代音楽、R&B、ブラジリアンと渡り歩いてきたので、典型的なテクノ少年的な音楽遍歴ではない。僕にとってテクノとは、それらの音楽のグルーヴや躍動感を結晶化、あるいは抽出した「うまみ」のような存在。

感情を鍵盤に叩きつけるような、パーカッシブで荒っぽいピアノが大好きだ。ジャズならマッコイ・タイナー、そしてインディロックではベン・フォールズの演奏を時々猛烈に聴きたくなる。ピアノに限らず僕は、正確さよりもダイナミックさに惹かれるところがある。大学に入りたての頃、ファンカデリックのようなバンドをやりたくて幾つか音楽サークルを訪問したら、ユーミンのカバーをしていた上級生が「君、ピッキングが荒いね」。大学で音楽仲間を探すのはお門違いだった(笑)。

(2/2) そして、その「(一神教的な文明にある)西洋人が最も難解に感じる世界」は、実は我々東洋人にとってはこうした難解な本を読まずとも「さらっと肌で感じられる」世界だったりする。彼が「無門関」など、禅の公案をいくつも紹介しているのは決して偶然ではない。僕も日々LLMを活用しているが、「言語化の自己ループ」を飛び出て「不思議の環」に到達する人間の知能は、AIが設計する知能とは全く違うということを忘れずに、AIと向き合いたい。
