新作のミックスダウンが佳境を迎えている。一つの曲をずっと聴き込んでいると、どうしても耳も頭も近視眼的になっていく。この仕事を長く続けている割に(だからこそ、かな)、僕は「神は細部に宿る」という職人的なエリート意識や美学があまり好きではない。本当の意味で全てのプロセスに責任を持つならば、時間、クオリティ、そしてビジネスを俯瞰するバランス感覚と実行力、そして「モメンタム(勢い)」が不可欠になる。

昔、フランスのレーベルBarclayのアーティストのリミックスを手掛けた縁で、その後数年間新譜が届くようになった。当時彼らが注力していたのがフェミ・クティで、アルバムもリミックスもDJで重宝した。先日、久々に見た彼のライブ動画に1曲目から度肝を抜かれた。あの「Truth Don Die」が、当時のクラブマーケットに向けたプロダクションを遥かに凌駕する、爆発的な生演奏へと進化していたのだ。最高に血が沸き立つ音楽。

「ブックスマート(学識)」と「ストリートスマート(現場知)」。この二つは対立する能力のように語られがちだが、本質はトレードオフではなく「掛け算」の関係だと思う。つまり片方が備わっていても十分ではないし、伸びしろは幾らでもある。ただ、徒手空拳の生き方に憧れて生きてきた僕が、後者のタイプに強く惹かれるのには理由がある。彼らは、自分を偉く見せようとする虚栄心こそが最もスマートではない、という真理を肌感覚で知っているからだ。
