効果音(サウンドエフェクト)は巷に出回っているので、わざわざ自分で作らなくても間に合うといえば間に合う。しかし、クセのある音や特徴的な音を作りたい場合は、シンセで波形を一から合成したり、自分で録音したオリジナル音源を加工して作るしかない。これは作曲とは異なる、いわば別の創作魂や忍耐力が試される世界。効果音といえば、ここ十年で最も定番化したのは「BRAAM(ブラーム)」だろう。次の時代を形作るのは、はたしてどんな音なのだろうか。

2年ぶりに、各種がん検査を含めた健康診断を受けた。詳しい結果はこれからだが、現時点では異常なし。毎日2時間体を動かし、毎朝山盛りの野菜を食べ、超規則正しい生活を送っているので、これ以上健康的にしろと助言されても思いつかない(笑)。今も健在な父は「俺は生命線が2本あるから、まだ大丈夫だ」と冗談めかして言う。長寿も素晴らしいが、最後に心の底から笑える人生は、さらに素晴らしい。

創作手法にあえて制約や縛りを設けることで、よりクリエイティブなものが生まれることもある。これは作り手なら誰もが経験しているだろう。ただ、そうして生まれた作品を受け手がどう感じるか以前に、このアプローチ自体が目的化・教義化してしまったり、作り手としてむしろ満足できないクオリティに陥ってしまうなら意味がない。そんなことを、かつて話題になった映画製作運動『ドグマ95』を思い出しながら考えた。昨日の「度胸比べ」も厄介だが、「ガマン比べ」も大変だ。
