先日久しぶりにごっそりまとめてCDを買いました。こっちのCD屋さんって全部試聴できるから、間違ってダメな作品を購入する事がないので凄く良い。今回購入した中でも一番感動したのがEMI classicsからリリースされている Mstislav Rostropovich演奏の"Bach Cello Suites Nos.1, 4&5"。CDとDVDの２枚組でCDの内容はもちろんのこと、DVDに収録されているRostropovichさんの演奏が素晴らしい、美しい、人間って凄い！人間にはこんな素晴らしい事ができるなんて、、ほんと大感動で何度観ても涙ものです。ノリノリで何度も何度も観ました。またちょっと自分のリミッターが一つ外れた気がしたので、また後で観ようと思ってます。この人達と比較されたら、僕なんて自分がミュージシャンだって言うのも恥ずかしい。アカン、もっと頑張ろ。。
I bought quite a lot of CDs the other day, and i was shocked by one of the CDs which is Mstislav Rostropovich's "Bach Cello Suites Nos.1, 4&5" released on EMI classics. This album contains both CD and DVD. Of course I enjoyed the CD very much but more shocking was the DVD. You can see his playing in the huge church and it was incredible, beautiful, and Human beings are soooo great! I couldn't imagine that human beings can play such a beautiful sound... This DVD really moved me. It was soo groovy and i was dancing when i was watching it. I felt like one of my limiter was gone again by watching this DVD. If i could see him by any chance and if he ask me "Are you also a musician?" then i have to say "No.I'm not!"

Radio Franceの企画で2006年３月に予定されているコンサートに半野さんが参加される事になっていて、その下準備として今半野さんはRadio France内にあるスタジオでライヴの準備をされてます。Radio Franceに入る事なんて滅多に無いと思って半野さんに連れて行ってもらいました。半野さん、ありがとうございました。
このイベントでは５０発以上ものスピーカをコンサートホールに設置して、半野さん、池田亮司さん、Pan Sonicなど（他にも沢山）のアーティストがライヴを行うという企画だそうです。しかも無料！! フランス国営ラジオの企画に日本人が二人も食い込んでる。。。なんて誇らしい事やろうと思う。いずれにしてもすげー施設。。３月のコンサートが楽しみです。その時期にパリにおられる方は是非。頑張れ日本人！！
Yoshihiro HANNO will perform at Radio France in March 2006. And now he's been preparing his LIVE set in the studio of Radio France. This time he gave me a chance to visit there. Thank you so much MR.Hanno!
For this event, artists use more than 50 speakers in the concert hall for their performance. There're many great artists are planning to play such as Yoshihiro Hanno, Ryoji Ikeda, Pan Sonic and so on. and it's for FREE! I'm so proud to hear that two Japanese artists are participating for this great event.
I'm really looking forward to see this event. Please check this when you have a chance to visit Paris in this period.
半野さんの制作の為に用意されたハンドメイドのヴィンテージモジュラーシンセ。カッコイイ。。例え音がしょうもなくても（そんな事はないと思いますが）存在がカッコイイ。。他のモジュールも段ボール箱に乱雑に入れてありました（フランス式）。僕もいつか使ってみたい。
It's an old handmade vintage modular synthesizer which is provided for Yoshihiro HANNO. it looks sooo cool.. I wanna try to use it someday...

一人で。また詳しくhannnoさんのliveの日程教えて。
青木君のも！！２／２８から３／１２がパリ。平日ロンドン行く。
ロストロポービッチいいですよね！
なぜかLD(!)で持ってますが、おじいさんになっても
果敢に音楽と向かい合ってるとこがかっこいいなと。
カザルスの無伴奏とか聴いてても思うのですけど、
演奏家って年取ってからが面白いですね。
彼らくらいの歳になったとき青木さんがどんな音楽を
創ってるかすごく興味あります。
今年もライブ楽しみにしてまーす。
Hi AOKI,
sometimes I wish I lived in Paris. Many good things at Radio France. For those interested here is a link to the programme: http://www.ina.fr/grm/agenda/pad/2005-6/GRMsaison05-06.pdf
I'm pretty sure that Hanno-san will do something beautiful. It's a pity that most of his work is not distributed here... I need to go to amazon.co.jp I guess.
Anyway I'll see Hanno and Yuki next month in Geneva. My ears are so happy!

張ってくれたあので、そちらでどうぞ。
僕はしばらくパリでライヴないんですよね。。残念。

コメントありがとうございました。
彼は世界規模の人間国宝ですよね。物凄い人地球代表みたいな感じ。
カザルスは今友人にお願いしてどの年のどのレコーディングが良いか
調べてもらってるんです。それが分かり次第購入して聴いてみます。
すげー楽しみ。
僕が彼ぐらいの年になったら、、それでもファンキーでいたいですねー。

thanks for your comment.
i'll do my best.
hi AOKI,
i was just wondering what you use to make your beats and how?
i have many software drum machines but i cant seem to create the sounds i want.
i love your "typical" beat style, like on "superstrings 76" (and superstrings 76+), "protocol m.t.t" and "simply funk" for example :D
Also, is your new album fully written and are you just waiting for all the "business side" of things, or are you still working on some things for it?
I really can't wait for it ;-)
best,
Murray Turner, Scotland.
...sorry, i forgot about "Doki Doki Last Night". How did you make the beat on that song? I love it.
thanks.
Murray.

thanks for your comment.
It doesn't help you anyway if i tell you how to make it.
It's not that difficult, i'm just making rhythm which i hear in my
head with many software and hardwares.
I hope you can find your own ways to make it.
and I'm still working on my next album,please wait a bit more.
thanks.
yeah, i kind of knew you would say that. I was just curious because the sounds i get from the software drum machines i have are very weak. it's frustrating :(
it is important though that i find my own methods, otherwise i would just be trying to copying my favourite artists sounds....
im sure i will eventually ;-)
thanks AOKI
best,
Murray.
