I’m thrilled to announce that Dark Model’s first album has been nominated for the 14th Annual Independent Music Awards (The IMAs) in the Dance/Electronica Album category.

Besides a jury vote by a quite impressive set of artists and industry experts, there is also an audience award called Vox Populi. So register and cast your vote by giving 5 stars to your favorite (which I hope will be Dark Model, of course). I would appreciate if you let your friends know to vote as well!

今から22、3年前、モーリー・ロバートソンさんの自宅で EMS Synthi A というスーツケース型シンセの実物を初めて見た。その後、新宿のリキッドルームで爆音ノイズのコラボ・ライブをさせていただいたことを思い出す。僕が日本を離れた後、モーリーさんの博識と洞察力、そして温厚な人柄が広くお茶の間に浸透し、その多才ぶりがさらに開花していくさまを頼もしく思っていた。心よりご冥福をお祈りします。

日々の業務でAIChatは色々と使っているが、音楽制作のアイデア出しや作曲ツールとして使うことはない。僕が惹かれるコードの響きやリズムのシンコペーション、「間」の取り方、そして展開の予測不能さは、AIが目指している方向とはまったく異なるし、AIにアドバイスされるのも困る(笑)。これは老子の言う「無用の用」なのかもしれない。役に立たない(=AIが「攻略できる」と興味を示さない)ものこそ、侵食されずに生き延びるということ。

アメリカにいると特に、「価格」と「価値」は全く別物だということを思い知らされる。このコラムにもあるように、もはや古典的なミクロ経済学の概念は殆ど意味をなさない。だが音楽ビジネスがさらに絶望的なのは、作り手側から「価格決定権」が完全に剥奪されてしまったことだ。プラットフォームやテック企業を非難するのはたやすいが、音楽業界側の脇の甘さと怠慢が招いた、「知恵比べの敗北」であることは否定できない。
