人生を変えるために50セント高く調律できる5つの音高(日本語版)

人生を変えるために50セント高く調律できる5つの音高(日本語版)
H. Wakabayashi



楽器や音楽をされている方なら、何かしらの楽器の調律(チューニング)を行っことがあることでしょう。20年以上に渡る音楽の経験を通して私が学んだことは、楽器をチューニングすることはまさに自分自身をチューニングすることだということ。何か今、変えたいと思っていることがある方は、これから紹介する5つの音を、半音の半音、つまり50セント上げてチューニング、演奏してみてはいかがでしょうか。きっと音の響きや生活における大きな変化が訪れることでしょう。(楽器がないという方は、ぜひ50セント高く歌ってみましょう!)


1. C♯(D♭)
風邪をひいて朝起きるのがつらいとき、いわばCから始める一日の滑り出しに関わるC♯の音を、思いきって50セント(半音の半音高く)チューニングしてみましょう。
少し大胆な気持ちになって、身体の活性化がはじまります。ひき始めの風邪くらい、吹き飛ばしてしまうかも?

2. D♯(E♭)
最近、ドーパミンがちゃんと出ないし、気分がふさぎがち・・・。
そんなときは、D♯を50セント高くチューニングしてみましょう。ちょっと一息つける長三度を少しだけフライングしてドリアンフルーツでも食べてみれば、ほんのりとした幸福の相乗効果が現れること間違いなしです!

3. F♯
50セント高められたF♯の音が、隣に横たわる完全5度であるGと同時に響きわたる様は、まるで蜃気楼が重なりあうかのようなファンタスティックさ!don't think F#eelという言葉、まさにこの響きのために存在します。


4. G♯(A♭)
万が一ゴリラと森で出会ったら、G♯を50セント高く鳴らしてみましょう。ゴリラはきっと目を丸くして、あなたと一緒にゴージャスで、少しだけはめを外したような歌を歌い始めてくれることでしょう。
この音は夕方から夜にかけての時刻に一番ロマンティックに響きます。ありふれた日常を少しだけ違った角度から見つめ直すことに大きく役立つに違いありません。


5. A♯(B♭)
最後になってしまいましたが、ここまで読んで下さったあなたには、きっとこれこそが最も待ちわびたような瞬間を与えてくれます。
あの日のアドレナリンの放出が忘れられない!そんな風に過去の興奮を振り返るのは、誰にでもあること。そんなときは、躊躇なくA♯の音をいつもより50セント高くチューニングしてみましょう。Cの音を導くBへのなだらかな踊り場となるこの特別な音。あなたの脳は瞬く間に反応し、驚くほと適切で興奮に満ちたサポートを与えてくれます。何事も"求めよ、さらば与えられれん!"というわけなのです。



5つの音を全部50セントあげてみた♪

さぁこれで、あなたもIcefaceという音律にチューニングされた楽器を手にすることになります。
このことであなたの音楽は随分違ったものとなり、やがては人生それ自体をも変えてゆくことになるでしょう。
実は、筆者はこの5つ(ピアノの鍵盤だと、全部で36鍵になります)を全部50セント高くして様々な演奏を試みた結果youtubeに継続してアップしています。読んだだけではよく分からない、半信半疑だったという方、ぜひ一度このIceface Tuned Pianoを聴いてみてください。

Change Life By Avoiding These 5 Horrifyingly Common Mµsical Tune-Ups

Here's a great variation text by Jacob A. Barton.
Change Life By Avoiding These 5 Horrifyingly Common Mµsical Tune-Ups 
(original text by H. Wakabayashi)



Have you ever awoken to find that you had been transformed into a musical instrument overnight?
Donut be alarmed! Oddly enough, this happens to about 100% or possibly 50% of all people and things, which works out to MERE BILLIOINS on a daily basis!
Rest assured: whichever instrument you turn out to be, whatever your temperament, and/or whether you ever find a suitable player for yourself, you are not a tool: you still have access to your full range of misery


BUT! New THIS year, in a nod to TRUE 80s-era pan-Reaganomic hyperpostmetamulticulturalism, Society v2.0.15 permits all musical instruments to choose their own tuning schema. THIS MEANS you ARE FREE WITHIN REAson to MAKE NOTHING BUT LOVE!



If you have a wish to change your (music) self, but find your relationships (harmony) brittle or inflexible, try creating a new tuning schema for yourself. Piece it together from your known unknowns. If you are singing, find or imagine an instrument to use as training wheels, in order to be sure anew.Here is Hidekazu Wakabayashi’s tuning schema remixed by Jacob A. Barton, as an example.
(Singer-Songsleeper)

1. C♯(D♭)
When you think you have caught a cold, tune C♯ 50 cents higher instead of taking cold medicines. C♯ is a very important note to start a day smoothly. Tuning it higher can make you feel a little audacious and your body can blow your cold away.


2. D♯(E♭)
Too depressed to go to work? Probably that's not only because of the lack of dopamine. Eat some durian and tune D♯ 50 cents higher and your feeling might get 50 cents higher almost reaching the first major third note E, where you can feel relaxed.
Don't worry, be sharpened.

3. F♯(G♭)
You will be fascinated by tuning F♯ 50 cents higher.  Just feel how this 50 cents sharpened F♯ sounds with the next note G (perfect 5th) at same time, like ethereal mirages overlapping.


4. G♯(A♭)
Go tune G♯ 50 cents higher if you see a ghost in your house. It will be consorted by your sharpened note and give you great inspirations in return.


5. A♯(B♭)
Last, but of course not least. Tuning A♯ approximate 50 cents higher will rush your Adrenaline. Your brain will certainly notice what's happened to between you and your instrument and do appropriate supports! "Ask and it shall be given to you".


So what's gonna happen when all these 5 notes (36 keys in the regular piano) are tuned 50 cents higher?!
Now you are holding an "Iceface tuned instrument" that will ultimately change your music, and eventually you yourself.
Here are some examples on youtube I've made with digital instruments to show how what I call Iceface Tuned Piano sounds with these 50 cents sharpened notes. Check this newly tuned music inspired a woman who I saw in a dream!

5 music notes you can tune 50 cents higher to change your life



Have you ever tuned an instrument by yourself? After 20 years of my musical life, I have concluded that tuning an instrument is like tuning oneself. If you have a wish to change your (musical) life or yourself, try to tune these 5 music notes 50cents higher.  (If you don't have a tunable instrument, just sing these notes 50 cents higher.)
