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)

AI研究者・認知科学者として知られるゲイリー・マーカスは、AIの進化の行方について数年前から強い警鐘を鳴らしてきた。炎上好きな彼ゆえ、その発言はある程度割り引いて受け止めるのが賢明だが、日本のIT界には「あえて現状を疑い、問題を突きつける」論客が少ない。いずれにしても、AIビジネスが「誰のテストステロン(男性ホルモン)が一番か」とばかりに、まるでカジノの度胸試しのようになっている現状こそ、まさにバブル(=行き過ぎ)だとも言える。

Mac OSが今で言うクラシック環境だった頃、とても個性的で、しかも重宝し、しかも殆ど誰も知らない(笑)音声合成ソフトがあった。数年に一度はそのソフトを再び使いたくなるのだが、Basilisk IIというエミュレーターとMac OS 7.5.3のディスク(!)などを用意して下準備をしなければならないため、毎回思い立っては即座に挫折する。OE『Physical Fiction』や『New Classics Vol.2』に収録されている曲でよく用いた。

先日、池上彰さんが「嫌いな言葉は『真実』」と話しているのを見て、すぐに思い出したのは、トランプが設立したSNS「トゥルース・ソーシャル」だった。「真実と虚偽は顔が似ている。我々は欺瞞を拒む根性がないばかりか、むしろ自ら進んで罠に飛び込んでいく。虚しいことに、巻き込まれるのが好きなのだ。」モンテーニュがこう説いたのは、16世紀半ば。
