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)

大航海時代が生んだ豊かな音楽文化の話を書いたが、歴史にはこんな不調和もある。18世紀初頭、英国の「南海会社」は南米との貿易独占権を盾に、実態のない株を乱発して「政府の借金を肩代わりする」という怪しい金融ビジネスに興じた。世界初のバブル崩壊劇だ。本日上場を迎えるスペースXを取り巻く熱狂を見ていると、この事件を思い出さざるを得ない。現代の南海=「宇宙劇場」への賭けは、果たして吉と出るか、それとも泡と消えるか。

アルバムのマスタリングが終わり、これまで聴きたかった音楽を漁っている。先日ゴスペルの話を書いたが、視点(聴点?)を非西洋圏へ広げると現在進行形の面白い音楽が多すぎて時間を忘れてしまう。本日は南アフリカ、南インド、ポルトガル、ブラジル、そしてUKやオランダを巡るリズムの旅を満喫。大航海時代以降、香辛料や宗教、科学だけでなく、グルーヴも海を行き来し、相互に進化や変化を遂げたのだった。

生成AIの検索1回には、従来のGoogle検索の約10倍の電力がかかるという。僕はSDGsや循環型社会を唱えまくる人間ではないけれど、僕が暇つぶしにくだらない質問を投げかけ、AIが長文で回答を返すまさにその瞬間、どこかのデータセンターのサーバーがフル稼働し、(スマホを数分充電する程度の)電力を消費してCO2を排出している。半導体景気に狂喜乱舞する昨今、自分も含めたこのアンチ・サスティナブルな暴走の矛盾に、ふと寒気がする。

【データセンターが電力を“食い尽くす”】AIで急増する電力消費 2034年までに2900テラワット? https://youtu.be/QPhfkN21TIo
