中学生の頃、当時人気のあった音楽雑誌に「たとえて言えばライオネル・リッチーは五木ひろし、ダイアナ・ロスは美空ひばり」という記事を見て、その比較の強引さに度肝を抜かれた。今考えると、それは単に「国民的人気歌手」だと言いたいだけで、音楽性やミュージシャンシップの話ではなかったと思う。 同様に、JBを北島三郎さんと並べるのもミスリーディングだ。ただし、いつ聴いても「まつり」の破壊力には畏れ入る。何か、のっけからスラップベース鳴ってない?

僕は動物を飼ったことがないが、子豚に関しては本気で飼いたいと思っていた時期がある。人間や羊、犬など身近な哺乳類には群れる習性があるが、実は種全体で見れば単独行動派が大半らしい。また、集団の作り方も動物によって千差万別だ。かつてチャーチルは「私は豚が好きだ。犬は我々を見上げ、猫は我々を見下すが、豚は我々を対等に扱ってくれる」と語ったという。その言葉が真実なのか、いつか豚に直接聞けたらと思っている。

パンチの効いたビートやボーカルを作る際、アタックにTR-808のハイハットやホワイトノイズを薄く重ねると、キックやスネアの解像度が劇的に上がることがある。ハット特有の鋭い「チッ」という音には、10k〜16kHz付近の非常に純度の高いエネルギーが含まれているからだ(単体で聴くとキツイ)。この帯域を超えると人間には聞こえない「超音波」の領域に入るが、犬にとってはここからが本番の可聴範囲となる。犬笛を眺めながら、そんな音の境界線に思いをはせる。
