    昔、バンドがライブで自曲を演奏する際、加齢と共にテンポが落ちていくのを見て、どこか寂しさを感じたものだ。ダンスミュージックはBPMで細かくジャンルが分かれるため、「遅い曲を作り出したら加齢の証だ」(笑)と一概には言えない。だが「速い曲を聴くのがしんどい」と感じたら、それは何かのサインかもしれない。幸い僕は今のところそういう現象とは無縁で、ここ最近BPM128以上の曲を集中的に作っている。

    かつて英文を書く際は、Grammarlyという文法チェッカーを愛用していた。だが数年前、AI機能が大幅に導入されて以降、自分の文章が「誰が書いても同じになる無個性なテンプレ」へ誘導されている気がして、利用を控えるようになった。LinkedIn等でも、”innovative”とか”visionary”、”passionate leader”といった、似た形容詞が並ぶ定型文をよく目にする。AIが作った「完璧すぎるCV」をAIがジャッジするなんて、妙な時代になったものだ。

    凹凸の少ないフローリングの部屋は、音を吸収するものがなく、壁や床で音が何度も反射してしまう。特にエネルギーの強いベース音は、部屋の角や壁際に溜まりやすい。見た目こそ洒落ているが、響きが「ライブすぎる」ため、リスニングならまだしも制作には全く不向きだ。今回突発的に思いついて、スピーカーのリアポート(背面の穴)に靴下を突っ込んでみた。この「ソックスチューニング」のおかげで、4畳半の和室のような、デッドで制作向きの音に仕上がった。
