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)

神経科学者のニーナ・クラウス氏は、「音楽のトレーニングと多言語の習得が脳にもたらす絶大なメリット」を科学的に実証してきた。彼女の実験によると、音楽家やマルチリンガルは、騒がしい雑踏でも聴きたい音をクッキリ浮かび上がらせる「脳のフィルタリング機能」が異常に発達しているらしい。まるで映画『メッセージ』を彷彿させる、言語が脳を書き換えるありがたい能力のようだけど…これ、実際は「耳から脳がどっと疲れる」原因でもある(笑)。

イギリスのダンスミュージックは、最新曲であっても、90年代レイヴの遺伝子を色濃く引きずっている。そんなことを考えていたら、90年代末にDJをしたロンドンのクラブ「Turnmills」のことをふと思い出した。土曜朝の名物「Trade」の直前に行われていた「Headstart」というパーティだったはずだ。六本木のレコ屋に入るのに躊躇していた学生が、その10年後には欧州からアジアまでDJで飛び回っていたのだから、人生は、動いた分だけ偶然が増える。

アートが真に社会を揺るがすのは、作者が社会への影響をコントロールしようとしたり、メッセージを伝えるためにアートを「手段化」した時ではない。作者自身の個人的で純粋な衝動を突き詰めた結果、それが結果的に社会のバグや本質を映し出してしまった時だと思う。確かに、気候変動や格差問題といった大義名分を謳(うた)えば助成金は得やすいかもしれない。しかし、それではアートの純度や質を損なってしまう恐れがある。
