Gig Soup - Dark Model Saga

We have continued to have reviews on “Saga” from news and music websites such as The 405, Beat Dot Media, and Gig Soup. Following the vol.1, we would like to provide the excerpts from some of them here. We appreciate that these journalists and critics picked “Saga” and wrote the awesome articles.

“The record speaks on invincibility, it deals with the basic human desire to succeed and to be bulletproof, and with Saga, Dark Model is bulletproof.”

(Marie Flounoy, The 405)

“Oe is clearly a genius when it comes to music that shouldn’t work well together becoming something quite enjoyable and inspiring.”

(Jon Niles, Gig Soup Music, Originality:90/100, Content:91/100)

“You’ve watched epic sagas on the big screen with songs that played in the background as the hero saved the girl or the good guys battled to save the lives of everyone. You’ve felt that power, and that power is something you can feel when you listen to Dark Model. It’s like an epic adventure for your ears.”

(Yvonne Glasgow, Beat Dot Media)

“Listening to “Saga,” Dark Model’s sophomore release, I felt like I was simultaneously being pulled back into the past and catapulted into the future.”

(Chris Kompanek, The Huffington Post)

“On “Saga,” fans of both orchestral music and dance floor anthems will unite as this album does a masterful job at combining both genres seamlessly together. At times, there will be an epic, over-the-top choir that is filled with intense emotions and at other times, the pulsating beats will have the listener swaying to the infectious rhythms.”

(Isiah Reyes, Enter The Venture)

手軽に陶芸気分を味わえる素材として「オーブン陶土」というものがあるが、海外では「ポリマークレイ」という素材が圧倒的に主流。しかし仕上がりは樹脂っぽくて、目指す方向性も質感も全くの別物。100均などでも買えるこのオーブン陶土は、陶芸文化が身近にある日本だからこそ生まれた、本当にユニークで素晴らしいクラフト素材だと思う。とは言え、造形に関しては今のところ、自分で作るよりも達人が作るプロセスを動画で眺める方が楽しい。

先日の話の続き。僕は「価値が価格を生むのであって、逆はない」と思う。価格(お金)は価値の引換券でしかない。それが今は「価格が価格を生み、吊り上げる」だけで、誰もその背後にある意味を直視しようとしない。「インフレ」や「デフレ」という都合の良いラベルは、その本質を問う重みを失わせる。さらに言えば、世の中には「価格化されていない価値」が山ほどある。数字や統計も、現実を切り取った不完全な影絵に過ぎないのだ。

渡米直後、モノやサービスの「価格」と「価値」の乖離に驚く毎日だった。デフレ時代の日本の企業努力や工夫に馴染んでいた自分にとって、価値に対して適正と思える値段の数倍から数十倍を支払うために猛烈に稼がなくてはならない人生は幸せなんだろうか?そんな疑問を抱いていた頃に出会った『メイカーズ』。著者が理想郷として描いた「デジタルと製造/DIYの融合」が実際に開花したのは、アメリカではなく中国その他のアジアの現場だった。
