中国の水墨画家である牧谿の実物の作品は、まだ『漁村夕照図』(根津美術館)しか見たことがない。一番見たいのは大徳寺の『観音猿鶴図』だが、寺社が蔵する作品は、ふらりと訪れて眺められる類のものではないので、しばらくは写真で忍ぶほかない。長谷川等伯をはじめ、牧谿の影響を受けた日本の絵師は非常に多いのに、本国・中国では正当な評価を得られなかったという。そうしたことを意に介さぬような気配もまた、惹かれるところではある。

アルバムOE『Letting Go』の収録曲を、メドレー形式で10分ほどにまとめた動画を作りました。まずはこの動画で試聴いただき、その後は各サービスでアルバム全体を楽んでいただけると嬉しいです。Model Electronic関連の動画を最初にアップすることにしているサービスVimeoは、地味ながらも「ラウドネスノーマライゼーション(音量調整)」のような余計なガバナンスを行わず、広告収益にも執着しない、今どき珍しいクリエイター想いの風土があります。

故デイヴィッド・リンチの著書『Catching the Big Fish』のオーディオブックを聴いた。彼が熱心な(超越)瞑想の実践者であることは全く知らなかった。僕は毎日、頭を空っぽ(無)にする時間を作るようにしているが、続いてせいぜい5分ほど。瞑想よりも呼吸法の方に興味があるけれど、どちらも誰かから「メソッド」を教わろうと思ったことはない。そもそも瞑想や禅思想には、その根底に「将来の実益や成果(”Big Fish”)を求めず、今を生きる」という姿勢があると思うのです。

デイヴィッド リンチ『大きな魚をつかまえよう: リンチ流ア-ト・ライフ∞瞑想レッスン』 https://amzn.to/3KNSRmw
