The composition is instrumental except for a spoken line from drummer Nick Mason, "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces." It features double-tracked bass guitars played by David Gilmour and Roger Waters,〔 with each bass hard panned into one channel of stereo. Gilmour's bass sound is quite muted and dull. According to Gilmour, this is because that particular instrument had old strings on it, and the roadie they had sent to get new strings for it wandered off to see his girlfriend instead.〔(Interview with David Gilmour ), ''Guitar World'', February 1993.〕 ==Music== The predominant element of the piece is that of a bass guitar played through a delay (echo) unit, set to produce repeats in quarter-note triplets. The result of this setting is, if the player plays simple quarter notes, the added echoes will produce a pattern of ''quarter note - eighth note, quarter note - eighth note''. Pink Floyd would again use this technique on the bass line for "Sheep". The piece is in B minor, occasionally alternating with an A major chord. The distinctive keyboard accents on this track are composed of three components: A hammond organ forms the 'fade in', followed by a "Stab" composed of a second hammond organ with percussion stop, overdubbed with an acoustic piano fed through a Leslie speaker, as was also used on Echoes. For live versions, the 'fade in' part was played on a Farfisa Organ. The threatening lyric, a rare vocal contribution by Nick Mason,〔 was recorded through a ring modulator and slowed down to create an eerie effect. It was aimed at Sir Jimmy Young, the then BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 DJ whom the band supposedly disliked because of his tendency to babble. During early 1970s concerts, they sometimes played a sound collage of clips from Young's radio show that was edited to sound completely nonsensical, thus figuratively "cutting him into little pieces".〔('One of These Days' section ) Echoes FAQ, Ver. 4.0, (The Pink Floyd Fan Club ).〕 The bootleg compilation ''A Treeful of Secrets'' contains a demo version of "One of These Days" in which the Jimmy Young collage loops in the background during the performance. However, the authenticity of this demo has not been confirmed.〔(''A Tree Full of Secrets'' CD#3 Track Listing ), The Pink Floyd RoIO Trading Pages.〕 According to John Peel, Waters has described "One of These Days" as a "poignant appraisal of the contemporary social situation".〔(''Meddler'' ), The Pink Floyd RoIO Database.〕 Gilmour has stated that he considers it the most collaborative piece ever produced by the group. A film, ''French Windows'', was made by Ian Emes,〔This Could Happen To You: Ikon in the 1970s, exhibition programme, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, England, July 2010.〕〔 set to the piece and featuring people and gibbons dancing against various backgrounds. After being seen on television by the band, it was back-projected by Pink Floyd during live performances〔 and Emes was commissioned to make further films for the band. It has since been released as an "extra" on the band's ''Pulse'' DVD.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「One of These Days (instrumental)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
