何故 Roland CR-78 でなければならなかったか？
①新鮮なコンテンツ：斬新な音色と、斬新なリズムパターン ②同期演奏できる
この２つ。
このおかげで自分ひとりで楽曲制作できる！ これが80sの夢であった。部屋中を埋め尽くす機材の群れは、言わば部屋中にまで拡散したスマホDTM環境。あの部屋全体が巨大なスマホ。これさえあれば、たった一人で理想の作品をつくれる。めんどくさい70sうんちく老害ジジイの世話にもならずに済むし、セクハラ男さようなら、ひとりで誰にも言われずにとことん楽曲をつくれる。70sはバンドの時代、ロックバンドは人間関係がわざわいしてすぐ分裂、解散する。80sは自分ひとりで夢を実現できる、それが80sのあたらしさ。80sが与えた電子楽器の夢は、そのまま小さく高性能になって現代のスマホDTMにつながる。
映画冒頭、モーグモジュラーのオシレーター・ピッチをチューニングしつつ12ステップシーケンサー960モジュールがうごめき出すところは、未来の楽器が覚醒し雄叫びをあげて鼓動が脈打ちはじめるようでシンセ初心者あるあるな感動がよみがえって良い。
ロックは博物館行きというのもおっさんへの皮肉で良い。いつまで汗をかいてるのか？と言ってたよね当時 笑。新しいテクノロジーが新しい音楽を切り拓くのだという未来感覚が思い出の明日だ。

(You should see an audio player above. If not, follow the link over to my website to hear the track!)
In the early hours, the late hours, and occasionally in between, I’ve been working on new music, using my cbcompose.py script to generate musical constraints for me. It’s going great!
This track, which the script named “Iwona,” is a trap- and avant-garde-synth-inspired piece that uses a short clip I recorded from the radio as its main source of melody and harmony. Although the score called for me to tune into 1140 AM, I couldn’t pick that station up in the basement. I kept the dial where it was, flipped to FM and tuned into a Christian radio station (there are many of those around here). I recorded about two minutes-worth, then chose a short clip to use for the song.
In addition to the radio sample, I used the virtual modular synthesizer VCV Rack as an atonal rhythm source (per the score). Often in trap and dubstep you’ll hear hi-hats playing very fast divisions of the beat. For this track I tried that with a synth instead; in Rack I patched up a simple synth voice and sent MIDI notes to it from Bitwig.
I tried some things out with the modular, but couldn’t find a way to use the 10-step sequencer that worked with the piece. I did use an external input module, ran the radio sample through a LM386-based power amp and into a VCA modulated by a square wave VCO, which results in that scratchy and distorted vocal tremolo effect.
The drums weren’t mentioned in the score, but I didn’t use too many: just a pitchy bass drum synth and a Roland CR-78 snare (my favorite snare) layered with a frequency-modulated square wave.
This is a rough mix. Sometime, likely soon, it will appear on an EP or album with other pieces inspired by my python script.
