ChatGPT4に聞いてみた。 チリのパーカッショニスト、サンティアゴ・バスケスが考案したハンドサインについてできるだけ詳細にサインとその指示内容を示してください。30以上のサインを教えてください。   あるいはChatGPT4を飼い慣らす 130

サインによる即興演奏は私の音楽における重要なテーマの1つ。
AOSABAというバンドでダンドリストもやったことがあって、とても楽しかった。

AOSABAはいまお休みしているが、渋さ知らズのワークショップだけでなくその後、ジョンゾーンのコブラのワークショップにいったり(水谷浩章さんの)、大友さんのオケ、そして、サンティアゴバスケスのサインシステムのワークショップのライブにも3年つづけて参加してライブもやったのだった。


先週末、芳垣さんのナッジナッジに参加した。バスケスのシステムを援用している。そのサインは100以上、 数百にも及ぶらしい。
ワークショップで僕が習ったのは10程度、だからもっとサインについて知りたいと思った。

ただ、資料が全然ないのだ。

それでグローバルな知識を持つChatGPT4に聞いてみた。

プロンプトは以下。


あなたは即興音楽の研究家です。 チリのパーカッショニスト、サンティアゴ・バスケスが考案したハンドサインについてできるだけ詳細にサインとその指示内容を示してください。30以上のサインを教えてください。

ChatGPT

サンティアゴ・バスケスが考案したハンドサインのシステムは「Rhythm Clapping」として知られています。このシステムは、グループでの即興演奏を可能にするための一連のハンドサインを使用します。これにより、グループ内の一人がリーダーとなって即興でリズムや動きを指示し、他のメンバーがそれに応じて演奏を変えることができます。

以下は「Rhythm Clapping」で用いられるハンドサインの一部と、それぞれのサインが示す指示内容です。ただし、サンティアゴ・バスケスが考案したハンドサインの完全なリストや詳細を30以上提供することは、私の現在の知識ベースでは難しいので、以下に示すのは代表的なものです。

  1. 始める - 手を上に挙げて、合図と共に下に振り下ろす。

  2. 終わる - 手のひらを下にして水平に動かす。

  3. 繰り返す - 指示したい部分を指で囲むように示す。

  4. 静かに - 手を上から下にゆっくりと降ろす。

  5. 大きな音で - 手を下から上にゆっくりと挙げる。

  6. 速く - 両手を縦に早く振る。

  7. 遅く - 両手を縦にゆっくり振る。

  8. 停止 - 手のひらを前に突き出す。

  9. 次の人 - 指を次の演奏者に向けて指す。

  10. 全員 - 両手を広げて全員を包み込むような動き。

これらは基本的なハンドサインの一部です。Rhythm Clappingのシステムは、サンティアゴ・バスケス自身や彼の弟子によってさまざまなワークショップや講演で教えられています。もし30以上のハンドサインや詳細な解説を知りたい場合は、彼の公式な資料やワークショップ、教育セッションを探して参加すると良いでしょう。

あまりにシンプルすぎる。あまりに少なすぎる、あまりに説明が稚拙だと感じたので、英語ならもっと資料があるかもしれない、英語ならもっと細かく分かるかもしれないと思い、英語に切り換えた。
