Captain Funk『Renaissance』を来月17日にリリースします。全曲新曲によるフル・アルバムです。このプロジェクトを始めてから30年近くになりますが、今作はこれまでで最もアップリフティングでダンサブルな作品に仕上がっているのではないかと思います。スローナンバーは一切なし。新生Captain Funkのサウンド、グルーヴ、そしてメロディをぜひお楽しみください。

(3/3) 創作や勉強、瞑想などの「長時間没頭できる習慣」を持つことが、単なる集中力の向上ではなく、「余計な物語工場への侵入を物理的にロックアウトする時間」を確保することにもつながる——そんな視点は、創作に携わる身としてもとても興味深い。もちろん、DMNを全て排除すべし!と言っているわけではなくて、毎日2時間のウォーキングが無理なくDMN時間を作ってバランスを取るのに役立っていると思う。

(2/3) だからといって、この傾向をコントロールできないわけではない。作曲や勉強、あるいは瞑想など、明確な対象に向けてCEN(中央実行ネットワーク)をフル稼働させているとき、脳の処理リソースはほぼ100%、その対象に注がれる。なぜなら、ナラティブを編むには「過去の記憶を呼び起こし、未来を予測する」という複雑な処理が必要だからだ。つまりCENがしっかり働いている間、DMNは物理的に“物語を紡ぐ余裕”を持てなくなる。
