このところYouTubeのプレイリストを整理・拡充しています。これまでは音楽のジャンルやテーマに沿った楽曲集を中心に作ってきましたが、音楽を聴く側(皆さんです)の使い道や機能を想定したプレイリストも充実させていきます。第一弾として「ランニング・ワークアウトのための楽曲」リストを作ってみました。コレクションの中心を占めるCaptain Funkの楽曲の大半は、Deluxe Editionに収録されている最新ミックスです。僕もこれを聴いて走ってみます!

昔、あるミュージシャンが「音楽を作るのは畳職人が畳を作るのと同じだ」と言ったという記事を読んだ。出典がなかったので真偽は定かではないが、その言葉を読んだとき、膝を打ちながらも、かなりドライな意見だと感じた。ただ僕自身は長らく、誰かに頼まれて畳(曲)を作ったことがなく、創作を職人気質に捉えすぎないようにしている。それは、畳作りを一生好きでいられる(=嫌いにならない)方法について真剣に考えた結果の、自分なりの答え。

遅ればせながら「ショパン国際コンクール」のドキュメンタリーを観た。1位を獲ったエリック・ルーの演奏スタイルが非常にアメリカ的なのが印象的だった。僕はこれまで、コンクールやコンテスト、ランキング、オーディションといった、他人による優劣の判断や評価システムに対して猛烈な反発心があって、それをバネに生きてきたところがある。演奏者の方々にはコンクールを一つの通過点と捉え、「自分が音楽と演奏を好きでいられること」を最優先に、邁進してほしいと思う。
