Dark Model 2014

This is the next preview from Dark Model’s first album. It is an uplifting, trance-esque orchestral electronic track featuring minimalistic piano, strings & horn phrases, and marching drums.

With this track, I wanted to put some hopeful and positive energy into the album. It may come off as unexpected from the name of the project; I don’t intend to put any negative message into music under the name of Dark Model. Rather I aim at making music that can inspire and motivate listeners. Themes underlying this project are something like “how to live positively and move forward even when you are in the darkness” or “how to cope with the darkness (of the world, inside you, etc.)”.

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

最近使う生成AIは3つほどに絞られた。その一つ、Geminiの強みは「知能の高さより、UXのフリクションレス(摩擦のなさ)」を追求している点だ。個人利用において我々は、説教や融通の利かないファクトチェックは不要だし、時に「正解」さえ求めていない。この「ザラつき(違和感)のないコミュニケーション/インターフェイス」の設計力こそ、今のデザインやサービス開発に最も問われている。アートや創作においては、違和感は大事な要素だけれど。

ラスタファリズムで言う「イスラエル12支族」という概念は、迷えるアフリカ系ジャマイカの人々(特に貧困層)のことであって、現在騒がせている国家イスラエルとは関係がない。”Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir / So that every mouth can be fed”(朝起きて、パンのために奴隷のように働く。みんなの腹が満たせるように。)というこの曲がヒットしたのは、僕が生まれる1年前。そんなに昔のことでもない。

Captain Funk『Renaissance』を来月17日にリリースします。全曲新曲によるフル・アルバムです。このプロジェクトを始めてから30年近くになりますが、今作はこれまでで最もアップリフティングでダンサブルな作品に仕上がっているのではないかと思います。スローナンバーは一切なし。新生Captain Funkのサウンド、グルーヴ、そしてメロディをぜひお楽しみください。
