僕が創っているのは音楽だが、創作の動機や姿勢に関して、音楽家や作曲家からインスパイアを受けることは滅多にない。発明家、文筆家、映画監督、研究者、そしてさまざまな作家のインタビューや著書、制作風景に触発されたり共感したりすることはしょっちゅうで、そのための探索は音楽を聴くのと同じくらい好きだ。 陶を素材とする造形作家、田中知美さんの「食器を作りたくて陶芸を始めたのではない」という言葉がとても印象に残った。

1977年、NASAの宇宙探査機ボイジャー1号と2号は、金色のレコードを携えて果てしない宇宙へと旅立った。「ゴールデンレコード」と名付けられたその盤には、地球の自然音や画像、脳波データ、そして世界各地の音楽が約90分にわたって収められている。 日本の古典尺八の曲と並び、ひときわ異彩を放つのがブルガリアの歌手ヴァリャ・バルカンスカによる民謡だ。この曲自体に、我々を宇宙の深淵に引き込むかのような壮大な引力がある。

ふと中学受験の頃を思い出した。僕は小学校時代、関東、関西から九州まで転々とした。各地方の方言をマスターする(リスニングとスピーキング)のも大変だったが、一番衝撃だったのは、小学校4年の終わりに引っ越した県は公立、私立関係なく中学生は丸刈りが強制だったこと。体罰も普通だった。そのおかげで県外の私立中学校に進学しようと猛勉強したが、自分の中の「越境メンタリティ」はその辺りに形成されたのかも知れない。
