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.

その昔、香港へDJツアーで出かけたとき、熱気でむせかえるインド人街で大ヒット映画『Disco Dancer(’82)』のVHSを買った。「インドにディスコ、それって最高じゃん!」とハチワレばりに小躍りしながら自宅のビデオデッキに入れると、映像は激しく乱れ、音だけがかすかに聞こえてくる…。インドの規格はPAL方式だったのだ。あの時は諦めざるを得なかった伝説の映画が、今やYouTubeで普通に見られるとは。しかも1.3億再生って、どんだけ人気やねん(笑)。

(2/2)実際、面倒なプロセスや試行錯誤こそが、脳を鍛え、能動性を育む力になる。プロセスをショートカットし続けると、クリエイティブになるどころか、選ぶことすらしない「受動的な消費者」が増えてしまう。「その摩擦を取り除くことで、人の能動性や想像力が奪われないか?」という「摩擦の吟味」については、我々アジア人と彼らとの間には相当な文明観や美学の開きがある。世界が一律に同じプラットフォームや検索サービスを使っていた時代は終わりつつある。

(1/2)アメリカのテックエリートは、「人間が面倒なことを徹底的に排除すれば、もっとクリエイティブなことに時間を使えるはずだ」と考える傾向がある。これを勿体つけて「フリクションレス(摩擦がない)」と言ったりするが、その「面倒なことリスト」の中に、買い物のレコメンデーションや注文、運転にとどまらず、選曲、さらには思考のプロセスまで含まれてしまうと、「じゃあ人間は何をするの?楽しみやワクワクはどこに残るの?」という疑問が素直に湧いてくる。
