先日書いた「沈黙する」と同じく、「待つ」力や「聴く」力は、人間が持つ、それでいて忘れられがちな知性だと思う。ただ、せっかちな僕はこの「待つ」のが下手だ。何でも先手先手で取り掛かろうとして、かえって時間の無駄や回り道をすることがある。そんな中、鷲田清一さんの著書『「待つ」ということ』に出会ったが、納得できる話やエピソードが満載で引き込まれた。特にこのページでも紹介されている「幸福を小刻みに」という話に共感。

この数か月、次の作品のアイデアを膨らませつつ「音のフィールドサーベイ」をしてきましたが、かなり照準が絞れてきました。この勢いで曲をどんどん仕上げていきたいと思っています。ということで、このマイクロブログはしばらくの間、不定期更新とさせていただきます。いい作品ができるように頑張ります!それまではCFの最新作『Renaissance』をお楽しみ下さい。

日本での知名度はほぼゼロだが、CNBCやBloombergからBBCまで、このところEd Zitron(エド・ジトロン)が経済メディアに登場しない日はない。 画面上の彼は「ブリティッシュアクセントでAIバブル崩壊論をまくしたてる好戦的な兄ちゃん」だが、自身のブログでは様々な財務データを用いて、かなり地に足のついた分析を展開している。アメリカ人の中からこういうタイプが現れないのは、実は日本と似て「空気で動く」からかもしれない。
