On Friday night, It was a live show as a drummer of roommate Matt’s band “Heavyside function”, so I went to Milkboy Arthouse.
It seemed a little nervous because this was their first live show. My advice is that Matt should use an acoustic drum. Because the sound from the laptop and the sound from the V-drum overlapped and it was like a 2D sound. I think, It’s different from the idea of the band. I pray for evolution of the band.
After that, I and Matt was going to Matt’s car and I was shouted “ああっ！” because rear bumper had broken. It was cracked and hanging. Matt said “接着してたん今日取れちゃった。そのまんま引きずってくからほっといていいよ。やってらんねーよ〜・・・バンパー高いんだよ〜・・・”.
I thought I don’t care...
Let’s go home.
Matt’s driving was like a so mad and crazy because he often was sleeping and xxxx x xxxx. I kept shouting in words I knew!
“Open your eyes!! please!!! take slowly!!! please!!! oh!! Matt!! No!! Don’t use highway!!! Do you understand!!?? TAKE SLOWLY!!! MAAAAATT!!!!!!!!!!!”
Matt said “It’s ok it’s ok it’s ok....zzz”
I said “I don’t wanna die!!”
Matt said “We can do it.. We can do it..”
“We can do it”
After that, I had bad feeling about behind...
Yes. Police was coming. When officers started talk about Bumper, Matt was 100% awaked because he was xxxx xxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxxx.
I couldn’t had understood yet about native speakers fast conversation, but I was a little excited about my first valuable experience.
................
Ended Bumpers problem, so we could arrive home.
I’ll never ride midnight Matt’s car.

On Saturday to Sunday, I went to two kind of church for weekly work and practice for young singers.
毎週求められて演奏出来る喜び、アメリカの音楽感に対する手応え。
ライブハウスだろうが教会だろうが路上だろうが、全てのミュージシャンが固有のトーンを備えている事の理由が少しづつ見えてきている。
日本の大衆的な音楽の在り方やエモの押し売り、地下で起こる村文化に失望していたにも関わらず、日本人としてのパーソナリティ、いや、それ以前に自分自身のルーツを辿った上で高水準の音楽、演奏として爆発させないと全く通用しない。
上手い下手の概念が希薄なのだ。
ダイナミクスとリズムが届くか届かないか、それだけ。
もうすぐ海を渡って3ヵ月。気軽に入国出来る観光ビザのリミットを超えて、完全なる未知ゾーンに突入していく。
