The Little Big Beat Book

Oe contributed an exclusive interview to “The Little Big Beat Book,” authored by a British DJ/writer Rory Roy and published by New Haven Publishing Ltd. Looking back on the Big Beat era in the late 90’s, he discussed how the Japanese club music scene was as well as Captain Funk’s “Bustin’ Loose EP” which had been acclaimed by top-notch Big Beat DJs such as Fatboy Slim and Freddy Fresh.

The official street date is the 10th of September 2018. The author has been working on a lot of promotions including an interview with Craig Charles for his BBC6 Funk & Soul Show, which will be broadcast on the 15th September – he will play a 30 minute DJ Mix on the show including ’Twist and Shout’ by Captain Funk.

僕が利用している音楽ストリーミングサービスが薦めてくるプレイリストの一つに「Fresh Jazz」というものがある。しばしば新しい曲に入れ替わるので、数週間空けるとすっかり知らないアーティストの楽曲で埋め尽くされていることもある。そのプレイリストで知って、幾つかアルバムを聴いたのがこのジャズ・ギタリストのMike Bono。速弾きこそしないけれど、ギターのトーンが何となく故アラン・ホールズワースを彷彿とさせる。

人間は他人を批判したり「裁く」と、自分が偉くなったような気がするらしい。自分を相対的に「上」に置くことで、心理的な快感を得るだけでなく、実際に「報酬系」や「快感系」の神経伝達物質(ドーパミン)が体内で分泌されるとのこと(諸説あり)。確かに、ネット上では誰もが神になったかのように他人をぶった切っている。しかし、それで自分に平和が訪れるわけでも、家族の運気が上がるわけでもない。ホルモンは身内が幸せになる方向に活用(?)したい。

このところ、世界の経済・政治の不安定さは増すばかり。かつてはチューリッヒ工科大で、現在は中国深圳の南方科技大でリスク管理を研究するディディエ・ソネット氏の講演を聴いていると、なぜマーケットがまだクラッシュしていないのかが不思議に思えてくる。彼は、新聞王ジランダンの言葉「Gouverner, c’est prévoir(統治は計画と予測の技術である)」を引用しているが、大事なのは国や他の「誰か」ではなく、まずは自分が自分を統治することだと思う。
