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)

子どもの頃から数年に一度は引っ越しをしてきた。国内外あわせて、少なくとも15か所前後は住んだことがある。どの街にも相性の良し悪しがあり、当然ながら自分にとって完璧な場所はない。ただ、環境を変えれば必ず何か気付きを得られるから、悩むヒマがあれば行動してしまったほうが早い。若い頃は故郷がないことを寂しく思ったこともあるが、移動と再訪を繰り返すうちに、故郷とは結局、自分の記憶の中にしか存在しないのだと割り切れるようになった。

白地に黒の四角が2個あった時、その間が徐々に狭くなって一つに見えてしまう仕掛けがあるとする。どこまで差が小さくなったら一つに融合して見えるかを測った時、2.1kHz(少し高めの音)を聞きながらその仕掛けを見た被験者は、その差の見極めが鋭くなったという。音で視力がよりクリアになったりぼやけたりするというのは、とても興味深い。私たちの五感は独立しているのではなく、脳の中で複雑に響き合い、一つの世界を作り上げている。

ジェームズ・クリアーは「環境は習慣を作る”見えない手”だ」と言い、自制心の強い人は、実は「自制心を使わなくても済む仕掛け/仕組み/ルーティーン」を作るのが上手い人のことだと説いた。離れた部屋で眠るギターを手に取るには強い意志が要るが、視界に入る場所に置かれたギターには、自然に手が伸びる。成長のための負荷を「良い摩擦」として残し、目的達成や成長を留まらせる「悪い摩擦」を減らす。仕組みや環境を見直し、アップデートしていこう。

「やる気」は過大評価されている。より大事なのは「環境作り」の方だ。 https://jamesclear.com/power-of-environment
