今日は試しで100%違う感じのスタンダードのDJセットアップでやってみた。
考え方と音楽の聞き方の違いが面白い。タンテの経験ほとんどないのに、思ったよりビートマッチング出来てたし、普段使ってるトリックいっさい出来ないけど、もっとシンプルなミキサーの機能のみのトリックとかを発見してフレッシュに感じた。みんな音楽の聞き方と楽しみ方が違うのは本当に最高だし、この時代にテクノロジーのおかげで数え切れないそれぞれのプレイスタイルもあって、最終的に考え方がいくら違くても音楽を楽しんでるところが相変わらずだし、全く違う種類の人がそこで繋がって、絆を感じるから、この音楽の世界に生まれて本当に感謝。

I've been a beat maker from the beginning and have almost no experience with turntables to the point that I have trouble relating to music in circular motion as all I hear is parts and phrases, like mental sampling. My live setup reflects that thinking.
But I love watching people DJ, especially turntablists, the dedication it takes to get that good is next level and I'm always grateful to be witness to such skill and love of music.
Today I step out of my comfort zone entirely for something which approximates an orthodox DJ setup. No cue points, mixing by ear. Was surprised to discover that I can beat match fast despite having almost no experience with turntables and being limited in this way without my usual tools made me discover and invent other ways of having fun with the simple functions in a mixer.
There are lots of people out in the world who feel that there's a correct way of having fun with music, but I'm grateful to be living in an era where everybody is different and there are are countless tools which allow you to perform in a way that's most natural to you and you can cross paths with people from all over the world, from entirely different backgrounds and still feel the connection that you share through music and exchange thoughts and experiences and learn from each other. I don't think there's anything greater than that.
