EW&Fというバンドを偉大にしたのは、親方であるモーリス・ホワイトの壮大なビジョンや統率力によるところが大きい。けれど音楽的には、弟ヴァーディンのベースアレンジが大きく貢献しているように思う。 彼のスタイルはいわゆるファンク特有のシンコペーションの反復ではなく、むしろポール・マッカートニーやモータウン的なランニングベース、あるいは対位法的なアプローチの応用に聴こえる。…と思ったら、インタビューで本人がまさにそう語っていた(笑)。

手軽に陶芸気分を味わえる素材として「オーブン陶土」というものがあるが、海外では「ポリマークレイ」という素材が圧倒的に主流。しかし仕上がりは樹脂っぽくて、目指す方向性も質感も全くの別物。100均などでも買えるこのオーブン陶土は、陶芸文化が身近にある日本だからこそ生まれた、本当にユニークで素晴らしいクラフト素材だと思う。とは言え、造形に関しては今のところ、自分で作るよりも達人が作るプロセスを動画で眺める方が楽しい。

先日の話の続き。僕は「価値が価格を生むのであって、逆はない」と思う。価格(お金)は価値の引換券でしかない。それが今は「価格が価格を生み、吊り上げる」だけで、誰もその背後にある意味を直視しようとしない。「インフレ」や「デフレ」という都合の良いラベルは、その本質を問う重みを失わせる。さらに言えば、世の中には「価格化されていない価値」が山ほどある。数字や統計も、現実を切り取った不完全な影絵に過ぎないのだ。
