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)

当然ながら、自分の作った曲の中でも、動画のアイデアが浮かびやすいものとそうでないものがある。音でストーリーや感情を伝える行為と、動画でそれらを表現する行為は、必ずしも相性が良いとは限らない。特に時間の制約がある場合はなおさら、ふさわしい音楽にも制約が出てくる。目下、「ショート動画を作りやすい曲」を選んでいるのだが、他の名義に比べてOEの曲は選びやすい曲が多いかも知れない。

「時間の使い方」についてのノウハウはあちこちで耳にする。だが、その大半は時間を「いかに効率良く使うか(How)」という話に終始している。果たしてジェームス・ダイソンは時間を効率的に使って、試作機を5,000も作っただろうか?ピカソが5万点もの作品を遺したのは、タイパを意識したからだろうか?一流のアスリートや演奏家はどうだろう?彼らは時間の効率を追ったのではなく、自分が何をすべきか(What)を絞り込み、それに「惜しみなく時間を使った」。

タイラー・ペリーは今や押しも押されぬメディア・モーグル(帝王)だが、ニューオリンズの貧しい街に生まれ、父親から壮絶な虐待を受けて育った、生粋の苦労人。ハリウッドに無視され、評論家には酷評され続けた一方で、黒人庶民層の圧倒的な支持を得た。彼の作品は万人のツボにはまるとは限らないが、彼がビジネスで貫いてきた信条―「イニシアティブとオーナーシップを死守すべし」―には、100%賛同する。エンタメの世界では、これがいかに大変なことか。
