Dark Model – Broken Arrows

Dark Model 2014

This is the next preview from Dark Model’s first album which will be released on May 16th, 2014. This track begins with a dark piano intro and builds dramatically with a full orchestral arrangement and massive electronic beats.

By the way, this may be different from what you would expect from the title, but this track was not inspired by the famous movie “Broken Arrow.” Not limited to the feudal era in Japan or the Middle Ages in Europe, there has been many parables and anecdotes where “arrows” come up as symbols of human bonds and wills such as loyalty, trust, creed, or even fighting spirit. Those symbolic connotations inspired me. Having said that, what I wanted to incorporate into this music was, “Your (fighting) spirit never dies even if your arrows are broken.” That is opposite to most of the contexts where broken arrows are figuratively used.

For details of Dark Model’s first album, please refer to the album page.

This track has been licensed and featured in some media projects such as Mr. X Inc’s 2016 trailer. (article)

OpenAIのビジョンについてChatGPTに質問したところ、「サム・アルトマンはAIを“製品”ではなく、“電力”や“OS”にしたいと考えている」とのことだった。確かに現在の米国AI投資バブルを見ると、ジョブズとゲイツの時代どころか、カーネギーやロックフェラーの「金ぴか時代(Gilded Age)」を彷彿とさせる。一方、Deepseek創業者・梁文鋒氏のインタビューを聞くと、至って地に足が着いている。両者の違いがどんな結果を生むのか、楽しみ。

高校の先輩(年が離れていて当時は面識はなかったが)で、国内や外資系企業の経営を手掛けてきた方の話。彼がインタビューで「人生を変えた英語の先生」と語っていた人物は、まさに僕が英語を教わった先生だった。僕自身も、その型破りな教育スタイルに大きな影響を受けたので、強く共感した。大学では熱心に講義に通った記憶がなく偉そうなことは言えないが、その後の人生で、あの先生を超えるほど刺激的な教え方に出会ったことはない。

After Effectsを使って凝ったエフェクトを作ろうとすると「エクスプレッション」の理解が欠かせないが、ざっくり派の僕はスクリプト系の学習に時間を割くのが苦手。JavaScriptも20年近く触っている割に未だに使うのが億劫だし、Flashで日替わりブログを作った時はActionScript(懐かしい)とPHPの連動で苦労した。ただ、色々プログラムやアプリを触ってきたお陰で、音楽とテクノロジーに関しては、試行錯誤自体も楽しみの一つではある。
