坂本龍一
友人に勧められて坂本龍一の最後の本を読んでみた。病との格闘に壮絶なものを感じたが、私は『音楽が自由にする』の方が伝わることが多かった。しかし彼が山田洋次の「母と暮らせば」のために作った音楽は凡庸なもので西洋音楽で言えばシューベルトだと書いていたことに建築と通ずる表現者の気持ちを感じた。建築だけではないだろう。凡庸に作ることの意味や難しさというものはきっとさまざまな分野にあることだ。At the recommendation of a friend, I read Ryuichi Sakamoto’s last book. Although I felt his struggle with his final illness was fierce, I found “Music Sets Me Free” more effective. However, in this book, he wrote that his music for director Yoji Yamada’s “Living with Mother” was mediocre. Regarding Western music, it would be Schubert, which shows the feelings of an artist who shares architecture. Felt. It’s not just architecture—the meaning and difficulty of creating something mediocre in various fields.
