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)

最近「糸川英夫」にハマっている。そう、あの小惑星「イトカワ(ITOKAWA)」の命名の元になったロケット研究者だ。ただ、糸川氏のことをロケット研究者と呼ぶには、彼の功績は多岐に渡りすぎていて、少し気が引ける。彼の著書は中古で1円から数百円で手に入るが、書かれている内容や発想の面白さはその何百倍もの価値がある。昔よくやっていた100円のレコード箱漁りと同じく、僕はそういう拾いものの本を探すのがメチャクチャ好き。

元Googleの思想家ジェイムズ・ウィリアムズは著書『Stand Out of Our Light』で、哲学者ディオゲネスとアレクサンダー大王の逸話を紹介する。アレクサンダーがかの有名なディオゲネスだと知り、「私にできることはあるかね?」と尋ねると、朝日を浴びていたディオゲネスは「そこ邪魔。光を遮らないで」と返した。ウィリアムズはここから教訓を引き出すが、僕は面倒な相手を動かすより自分が光の方へ動く方が手っ取り早いと思う(笑)。

「私が絵を描くのは、共鳴してくれる人を求めているからではない。ただ、私の孤独を表しているだけ」と篠田桃紅さんは語った。孤独とは「埋めるもの」ではなく「結晶化するもの」。欠落ではなく充足であり、それは「自由」の別名なのだ。「自我」や「存在証明」といった強い言葉を避け、「孤独」という表現に留める。そこに、執着を脱した篠田さんならではの「粋(いき)」が宿っている。
