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)

楽曲の放送や配信へのライセンスに関するガイドラインを更新しました。コロナ禍の影響もあると思うが、日本では音楽の権利処理に関する改正が著しく、海外とは独立した動きをしているので、それぞれを正確にキャッチアップするのは大変。この手の話は海外の場合、現場を切り盛りしている実務家が率先してゲームに参加するのに対し、日本では役人の答弁や弁護士のコメントが目立つ。彼らは必要不可欠な存在だが、使用料をもらう側でも支払う側でもない。

以前住んでいた東海岸の町は、この時期は毎週のようにストーム(雪や雨の嵐)が襲った。一番やっかいなのは停電や電力の供給が不安定になること。住み始めてすぐにノートパソコンの電源が入らなくなったので、無停電電源(UPS)を買って対策を整えたつもりだったのに、なんとUPSのコンセントを挿し間違えてしまい、またしてもパソコンが逝ってしまった。皆は当たり前のように思うかもしれないけど、日本は停電が驚異的に少ない国なのです。

楽曲ライセンスの解説ページを久々に更新中。このページを最初に作ったのは10年ほど前だが、その後メディアの生態系が大きく変わったため、追加・修正・削除が必要な部分が多かった。アメリカと日本ではメディア産業の構造もお金の流れが全然違うため、相互に翻訳して活用できる説明部分はほとんどない。まずはModel Electronic Recordsの解説ページを更新したので、海外での音楽ライセンスに関心のある方はお立ち寄りください。
