下記の英文解釈について質問があります。12/11
Do you see yourself as part of a certain tradition or as part of a movement?
No, not really. I mean, when I started making music more seriously there was (and still is) a vivid electronica scene here in Vienna (Mego,Cheap, etc), which influenced me for sure. But the music I listen to is so diverse.... I am looking for general functions in pieces of other musicians and not so much for aesthetics. So the music or let’s say one aspect of a piece which has an influence on what I do, can come from nearly everywhere. Diversity is so important for me that I can hardly imagine to be part of a movement - at least not a strict one that has any kind of "rules".
Q1 4行目の、I am looking for general functions in pieces of other musicians and not so much for aestheticsですが、and以降はどこからの続きになっているのでしょうか？
それとここはどういった意味になるのでしょうか？それと最初の1行目で、no, not reallyと言っていますが、「いや、そうでもない」という意味ですが、つまり疑問文をorで区切るのではなく、答えを見てどちらかを削るのがわかりやすい流れでしょうかね？
How would you describe your method of composing?
あなたの曲作りの方法というものをどのように定義しますか？
Usually i have an idea of the effect, which the piece should have. Then I try to build sounds and tonal relationships to establish that. But I don’t follow the tracks all the time – sometimes there happens an exciting fragment on the original way and I continue with that. Most of the time there is a small structure, a small texture by an acoustic instrument in the beginning and by the time I build more and more around it. When I have found the basic modules, then I think about the general structure and so on. It is a modular system, but not in a specific order - what I mean is that I don’t necessarily start with a theme or something.
Q2
1行目ですが文法の構造としては、コンマの前の文自体が先行詞ですよね。つまり、強引に組み立てると The piece should have [I have an idea of the effect,]. こうなるのでしょうか？
あと訳がいまいちわからないです。
大抵の場合、俺はアイデアを持っている。→効果についての。
→楽曲が・・・うーんいまいちわかりません。
よろしくお願いいたします。
お礼
