技術の進化、身体の退化｜Evolution of Technology, Degeneration of the Body

オフィスにレコードプレーヤーを入れて、レコードを聴くことが多くなった。やっぱりデジタルとは異なる優しい音はアナログならではと思っていた。しかし先日チェロの生演奏を間近で聴く機会があった。チェロから伝わる弦の音だけでなく、空気の圧すらも感じる。耳で音を聴くのではなく、身体が曲に共鳴している。今まで眠っていたボクの全身が蘇って曲に反応し始めた。血液ですら曲のテンポに合わせて波打っているかのようだ。技術の進歩で音楽はよりクリアーな音になったと思っていた。しかしその音楽を受け入れる身体の方が退化してきているような気がする。もっともっと身体全身に音楽を聞かせて進化させなければいけないなぁ。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

I put a record player in my office and started listening to vinyl records more often. I had always thought that the gentle sound, which is different from that of digital, could only be achieved with analog. However, the other day I had the opportunity to listen to a live cello performance up close. I could feel not only the sound of the strings transmitted from the cello, but also the pressure of the air. Instead of listening to the sound with my ears, my body was resonating with the music. My whole body, which had been asleep, came back to life and began to respond to the song. Even my blood seems to be surging to the tempo of the song. I thought that with the advancement of technology, music has become clearer and clearer. However, I feel that the body that accepts music is degenerating. I need to evolve by making my whole body listen to music more and more. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
