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)

蒸気機関の大幅な改良で、産業革命の立役者となったジェームズ・ワット。輝かしい功績とは裏腹に、彼の歩んだ道のりは挫折の連続だった。成功が見えないまま10年近く研究と資金繰りに追われたどん底の時期、彼が友人に宛てた手紙に残した言葉は、「人生のあらゆることの中で、発明ほどバカバカしいものはないよ」(出典)。「必死にもがいているのに全然報われない」と感じる時期こそ、実は大逆転が起こる直前のサインだったりする。

日本人観光客で賑わうホノルルのホテル。週末の夕刻には、サモアやタヒチ、ハワイといったポリネシアの伝統ダンスやファイヤーショーが披露され、その爆音と熱量に圧倒される。ポリネシアのパーカッション音楽には昔から魅せられ、レコードやCDを掘っては「一通り知った気」になっていた。しかし実際は、島やエリアによってリズムパターンや演奏法がかなり異なるという奥深さがあったのだ。このところ惹かれているのはクック諸島のグルーヴと演奏スキル。

1980年代からUCSFのメルツェニッチ教授らが発表した「脳の可塑性」の研究は、脳神経科学の常識を覆す決定打となった。日本での「大人の脳も鍛えれば変わる」という脳トレブームの基礎にもなったが、僕が注目したいのは記憶やスキルの「能力向上」ではない。能動的に注意を向け、新たな意味を与え続けることで「認知の枠組み(ナラティブ)」を物理的に書き換えられる—つまり感情システムすら再構築できるという視点だ。
