ringo's weblog 1/4/05 デジタル楽器の弊害
http://www.ce-lab.net/ja/ringo.php#050104
デジタルピアノは、アナログのピアノとは異なり倍音成分(ほかの弦や匡体や部屋が共振することによる音)が非常に乏しく、強弱も高々1024段階しかないため、絶対音感が養われないのだという。倍音成分の多いアナログピアノだと、聴覚への入力が多様であるため、覚えるのが圧倒的に速いらしい。たとえば、アナログピアノの場合は、調律が少しぐらい狂っていても周辺情報だけで類推できる(すべてのアナログピアノは、少しづつ調律が狂っている)のに、デジタルの場合はまったく不可能で、音感自体が育たないらしい。だからアナログ楽器のない音楽教室では、本当の音楽教育ができにくい。(略) 仮想楽器のこのような問題は、実は情報技術による仮想化によるもっとおおきな問題につながっている気もする。心に留めておこうと思った。

Free Agent Wrap-Up: The Fourth Wave
Bonds is only going to be superhuman for so long, so Sabean has pieced together an extraordinarily "veteran" group of players this offseason without any sort of eye towards the future, signing guys like Alou, Omar Vizquel, and Mike Matheny. Just take a look at the likely Opening Day lineup for the Giants and their "baseball ages" in 2005:
C Mike Matheny (34)
1B J.T. Snow (37)
2B Ray Durham (33)
SS Omar Vizquel (38)
3B Edgardo Alfonzo (31)
LF Barry Bonds (40)
CF Marquis Grissom (38)
RF Moises Alou (38)
That lineup is almost laughably old. Plus, the team's two main bench players, Michael Tucker and Feliz, will be 34 and 30 respectively in 2005. The pitching staff has a couple young guys on it, but starters Jason Schmidt, Brett Tomko, and Kirk Rueter, and relievers Matt Herges, Jim Brower, Scott Eyre, Jason Christiansen, and Armando Benitez are all on the wrong side of 30. San Francisco's roster is about as sturdy as a house of cards and things are going to come crashing down as soon as Bonds stops hitting like Babe Ruth's big brother. With that said, they should have an interesting, competitive team for 2005 (albeit one that will keep the Giants' training staff busy).
