KANEBOのYoutubeチャンネルでYaffleさんのインタビューが見られる。
MAJのレッドカーペットのときに感じたけど、だいぶスマートになられたよう。
藤井風さんのTDCの頃と比べたら一回り小さくなった気がする。
プロデューサーという職業について、Yaffleさんの仕事への向き合い方について、彼の言葉で語られている。
音楽の無用性と有益性に着目して究めようとしているとのことだ。
あえて定形外のケミストリーを誘引して新しい音楽を創り出す手法。
"It's Alright"の和楽的アプローチなんかお見事だよね。
基礎や理論を熟知しているからこその挑戦。
映画音楽など創作の場を広げてらして、ますます活躍されていくだろう。
また風さんのバンドマスターをする日も来るのだろうか?
You can watch an interview with Yaffle on KANEBO's YouTube channel.
I noticed it back during the MAJ red carpet event, and he seems to have really slimmed down.
He looks noticeably leaner compared to the days of Fujii Kaze's TDC concerts.
In the interview, he speaks in his own words about the role of a producer and his approach to his work.
He mentions that he is striving to explore the nature of music by focusing on both its apparent lack of utility and its actual benefits.
His method involves intentionally sparking unconventional chemistry to create new music.
His approach to "It's Alright"—incorporating elements of traditional Japanese music—is truly impressive.
It is a creative challenge made possible only because he has mastered the fundamentals and theory.
He is expanding his creative horizons into areas like film scoring, and I’m sure we’ll see even more of him in the future.
I wonder if the day will come when he serves as KAZE's bandmaster again?
