Dark Model – Hope Is Never Gone

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.

アートが真に社会を揺るがすのは、作者が社会への影響をコントロールしようとしたり、メッセージを伝えるためにアートを「手段化」した時ではない。作者自身の個人的で純粋な衝動を突き詰めた結果、それが結果的に社会のバグや本質を映し出してしまった時だと思う。確かに、気候変動や格差問題といった大義名分を謳(うた)えば助成金は得やすいかもしれない。しかし、それではアートの純度や質を損なってしまう恐れがある。

『スター・ウォーズ』を創る時のルーカスは、完全に客観的な「神の視点(CENがフル稼働した状態)」にいる。しかし、現実の予算や人間関係に悩まされる瞬間、さすがのルーカスの脳も一瞬で「主観の檻(扁桃体)」にハイジャックされてしまう。 この主観に対し、クリエイティビティを使って「負のナラティブや雑音(Chatter)」を上書きする力―それはフィクションを作る以上の訓練が必要だが、創作以上に大切なことかもしれない。

僕がお風呂でよく流しているディスコファンク系のラジオから、Alton Edwardsのこの曲が聴こえてくる。とてもキャッチーなシンセ・ブギーだが、実は知ったのは割と最近だ。UK産でアルバムリリースのないアーティストだったため、日本ではあまり馴染みがなかったように思う。六本木の「ウィナーズ」あたりなら12インチが置いてあったかもしれないが、上京したての大学生だった僕は、深夜の六本木に一人フラっと立ち寄るほどの肝がまだ据わっていなかった。
