映画『ブラックベリー』の共同CEOジム・バルシリーは、作中で「冷徹で傲慢な独裁者」として描かれる。米国では実社会でも未だに「獰猛な天才」が崇拝されるが、その手のタイプが仕切るビジネスが安定成長した試しがない。彼らは「ある時期、世の中を引っ掻き回した」だけとも言える。この「人とお金のどんちゃん騒ぎ」をビジネスや経営と呼ぶアメリカのお家芸を、冷ややかに見ている国もあるのではないかと思う。

久々にこのマイクロブログのアーカイブを更新しました。3週間前の投稿には「南アフリカ、南インド、ポルトガル、ブラジルなどの音楽を聴いている」と書いていますが、最近はトルコ、イラン、アフガニスタン辺りの音楽に触れています。ちなみに90年代にブレイクしたイランのダンスミュージック「Bandari(バンダリ)」は最近何かと話題のホルムズ海峡の港町が発祥。LAの移民コミュニティ「テヘランゼルス」を中心に、渡米したアーティストも多い。

視覚芸術の巨匠カルロス・クルス=ディエスのドキュメンタリー『Free Color』を見た。「何の支えも持たず、自律的な存在として、色を空間に解放したい。」キャンバスすら飛び越え、ただ「色だけ」を宙に浮かべたいという、突き抜けた夢を語る姿が印象に残る。彼は95歳で他界したが、家族や科学者たちの挑戦は今も世界中で続いている。視覚も聴覚も、世界はまだ「できそうで、できていないこと」だらけだ。そう思うと無性にワクワクする。
