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.

ハリウッド映画界には「Temp Love」という用語がある。制作が猛烈なスピードで進むため、最終的な劇伴が完成するまで、映像には多くの「仮の音楽」が当てられる。有名曲等が使われると、監督はその曲に執着し、作曲家に酷似した曲を求めてしまう。この「仮の音楽への執着とプレッシャー」への対応に苦心する作曲家は多いようだ。僕の既存曲が映像に使われるのは歓迎だけど、あえて書き下ろしの仕事を請けないのは、こうした風潮も理由の一つかもしれない。

この「Rakuen」という曲は、2019年リリースの『Oceans』に収録されているが、最初のバージョンを作ったのはそのずっと前、OE『Director’s Cut』を制作していた頃だったと思う。曲の雰囲気の通り南の島をイメージして作ったのだけれど、当時実際に行ったことのある島は沖縄くらいだった。その後、常夏の島で暮らしてみた後でこの曲を聴くと、頭に浮かぶ映像が俄然リアルなものになった。年中半袖&短パン生活を目指して、今日も頑張るか(笑)。

『ピクサーの舞台裏という記録映像を観た。脚本や衣装など、専任の担当者が作った雛形に対し全参加者が意見を出し、それが原案よりも良ければ即座に採用・修正される、徹底的に民主主義的なチームワークが貫かれていて驚く。「最大公約数的なベスト」を追求するのはピクサーの真骨頂だが、近年のディズニー周辺のクリエイションの傾向として「“正しく”作らねばならない」という道徳的/倫理的な規律が強くなりすぎて、現場が窒息しないか心配も少々。
