Listening 2017: July 16–28

There’s a tad longer blurb than usual for a selection this time around. Based on the banner, I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say it’s on Cornelius and his classic Fantasma. So for the sake of it not running past the 1000-word mark, this entry stuck to only three albums. I also had an idea of pairing it with the musician’s latest, Mellow Waves, because I’ve been enjoying that album lately. Maybe I’ll write a separate piece for it? Who knows!

Here are three albums that got me jotting down words.

Fantasma

Cornelius Trattoria/Matador, 1997

For all the nostalgia Keigo Oyamada collages for his Shibuya-kei classic as Cornelius, his daydreams about the future on the record is what intrigues two decades later since the album’s release. Was he predicting the pace of the world in the frenetic, drum ’n’ bass-inspired detour “2010”? And was he, too, anxious of how fast we will consume our resources — in this case, music, past and present — in the fuzz-rock jam “New Music Machine”?

Oyamada himself might have been overwhelmed at the abundance of music available at the record shops he would frequent. I know I need to get up and take a walk sometimes just thinking about how much music is out there for me to discover. Can you imagine the seasickness he’d be stricken by had he known about the streaming age, let alone the P2P era coming just a few years after he put out this record?

He lays bare the riches of his findings: jazz LPs, folk singles, break beat compilations, film soundtracks, early electronic tapes — all swirled into acid-tinged Plunderphonics. But it’s far less nauseating of a trip than what the Internet era would birth with, say, Girl Talk as a tribute to the way we listen to music. A big part of that owes to Oyama studying the medium of the long-playing album as much as the sounds making up his beloved singles: not only is Fantasma designed for a one-sitting listen, it also pays homage to the side-flipping ritual.

The more streamlined expression here gives me a more utopian idea of this all-accessible New Music Machine. Nowhere does he give off an impression that this “everything, all the time”-type of consumption takes a toll on a person; the exuberance to which he interacts with all of this abundance is almost enviable in its purity.

So it’s kinda jarring to hear him follow up the excitement behind the New Music Machine with a prediction of it causing some irreversible damage. He says NASA invented it in 2001, but it “breaks the world” by 2010. Joy lasts terrifyingly short. Chilly is how prescient such a story sounds in relation to a rapidly evolving digital music culture.

Hola Hola EP

K.A.R.D. DSP Media, 2017

Seven months since their first single, “Oh NaNa,” K.A.R.D’s co-ed dynamic still has a lot left to be explored. “Don’t Recall” showed promise of the exciting on-record drama they can bring between the men and women. While “RUMOR” matched the heated dialog, the title track dialed it back for a more casual flirt, both with the narrative and production. I prefer the songs full of tension because who doesn’t like drama? And besides, there’s a glut of smooth-talkers trying to get a cute girl’s attention over equally breezy beats on the pop charts. Some upset of these familiar sounds would be nice.

Speaking of the beats: though K.A.R.D. establishes a solid niche with its co-ed membership, the group’s music is so tied with the balmy chill of 2017 that it’s currently difficult to predict how they will do once that hot trend is past its time. Right at this time, they ride the wave just fine, but on the flip side, the expiration date with this sound is quickly approaching. As long as they stick to their concept, though, I think they can survive even if the well dries up.

Flower Boy

Tyler the Creator Columbia, 2017

From early in his career, Tyler the Creator’s taste was clearly defined to the point he sounded almost stubborn in his ways. A constant in his music has been the presence of jazz with the color of its chords bleeding out the margins. Flower Boy’s arrangements are much more cohesive and sophisticated than his past four albums, though you can also hear the links in its core that connects it to his ambitions rooting all the way back to Bastard. “911/Lonely,” for one, recall “VCR/Wheels” from his debut through its two-song structure but also the love letter he pens with an honesty almost too explicit to read.

Quite a few outlets have pointed out maturity in how he sings about his themes, another constant in his music since his MySpace days. Though I’m more intrigued on how he streamlines those themes into a single listen. Tyler played with narrative devices, constructing albums like films. He lets the music unfold freely without much structure, and the cohesion despite a lack of a guide is impressive. I can only credit that to him dedicating his time obsessively to say the same thing he has been wanting to say out loud since he was a teen. There’s faith and an intense embrace from him for his work than any other. It’s only right he’s shouting out loud Twitter right now promoting the hell out of this to make this hit number on the charts.

新世代最上位SoC、Snapdragon 835の詳細をクアルコムが公開。820比で消費電力25%減、性能20～25%向上

米国で開催中のCES 2017で、クアルコムが新しい最上位SoCとなる『Snapdragon 835』の詳細を公開しました。同SoCは昨年11月の時点でモデル名など一部情報を公開していましたが、今回は技術的情報や性能の公開です。気になる消費電力低減と速度向上に関しては、Snapdragon 820に比べて25％消費電力を低減、一方でCPU部の処理速度は20%、GPU（グラフィックス）部の速度は25%の向上とアピールします。【ギャラリー】クアルコム 2017年版最上位SoC Snapdragon 835 (6枚) また、半導体パッケージ（部品としての外装）の大きさも、820比で35%縮小。タイトル写真は左が820で中央が835ですが、一回��ほど小さくなります。これは基板（マザーボード）の縮小、ひいてはバッテリーの容量を増やせることに繋がるため、搭載機器レベルで見ると重要な差となります。加えて重要なポイントは、スマートフォンで昨今のトレンドとなった機能を積極的にサポートする点。例えばGPU部ではGoogleのVR仕様Daydreamや、HDR映像ソース（HDR10仕様）に対応。無線通信ではLTEは理論最高値1Gbpsの下り速度に対応し、さらにBluetoothは新バージョンとなる5.0に。加えて外付けチップにより、WiGigこと802.11adのサポートも謳います。そしてカメラ用DSPでは、電子式手ブレ補正精度の強化（こんなところにも影響します）や背面デュアルカメラにも対応、AF速度も向上し、暗所撮影時のノイズも低減します。オーディオ部は32ビット/384kHzのハイレゾ音源や3Dオブジェクトオーディオ技術、さらにはDSD音源へのネイティブ（PCM変換なし）再生にも対応します。位置情報の測��に関しても、QZSS、つまり「みちびき」こと準天頂衛星システムへの対応に加え、屋内測位技術での精度を向上（公称で最大30％）。さらに測位使用時の消費電力低減にも配慮した設計となっています。このようにSnapdragon 835は、CPU部やGPU部のみに限らず、スマートフォンで使われる機能に対して、全般的な性能向上を図っている点も特徴と言えます。これは昨今のSnapdragonシリーズに共通した流れではありますが、835は高級スマートフォンやタブレット向けということもあり、こうした点にも非常に力の入ったものとなっている、というわけです。こうした全方位での性能向上を図れた理由は、半導体としての性能に大きく影響する「製造プロセス」が10nmと、820に比べて1世代進んだため。820で採用された三次元構造半導体『FinFET』技術も盛り込まれており、製造はSamsung Semiconductorが担当します。さて、CPU部では、処理ユニットとなる「コア」の数が8へと戻った点もトピックです。810はARM社の開発設計のコアを8基搭載していましたが、820は自社開発のKryo（クライオ）により1基あたりの性能を高め、一方で数は4基へと抑えていました。今回の835では、新世代の『Kryo 280』を中心に、8基のコアを搭載。高性能コア（動作クロック2.45GHz）と消費電力重視のコア（1.9GHz）を4基づつ搭載し、負荷状況などで切り替えるBig.LITTLE方式を採用します。また急速充電技術としては、既報どおり新世代となるQuick Charge 4（以降QC4）に対応。USB タイプC端子とUSB PD仕様に準拠させつつ、現行のQuick Charge 3.0と比較して最大20%高速、かつ最大30%効率の良い（AC側の消費電力が低くて済む）充電が可能である点をアピール。公称では、0%からであれば「15分で50%」の充電が可能と謳います。 CESでのプレゼンテーションでは、搭載製品としてODG（Osterhout Design Group）のARスマートグラス『ODG R-8』を紹介。同機はSnapdragon 835の機能のみでARを実現する点が特徴です。 Engadget読者であればご存じのように、昨今はスマートフォンの上位モデルでVR/ARへの対応がトレンドとなっていますが、このアピールからは、835がそうした用途でも十二分に使えるだけの性能を備えているとの主張が伺えます。いずれにしてもSnapdragon 835は、2017年の高級スマートフォンにおいて主役的な存在となることはほぼ間違いない存在。現行の820/821ではともかく、前世代の810が「不調」だったことから不安視されていた発熱や実性能に関しても、妥当と呼べる（製造プロセスに対して無理のなさそうな）向上率となっていることから、比較的安心できそうなムードです。搭載製品の登場は、11月の情報公開時（下記記事を参照ください）と変わらず「2017年前半から」の予定です。クアルコムがSnapdragon 835発表、10nm製造プロセス採用で省電力と性能向上を両立。搭載機は2017年前半 http://j.mp/2icGwWM Engadget Japanese
