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。
