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)

この「Rambler and Canter」は、田舎道を散策し、ときに駆けるような牧歌的な風景をイメージして作った曲。最初『Here and You』(2002)に収録されたこの曲、『New Classics Vol.1』(2018)のリリースにあたり、リズムや音のメリハリを調整した。当初は乗馬の映像を合わせていたが印象が弱く、シンクロ感のあるパンチの効いた素材を探すうちに、なぜか米国小売チェーンのCM風ショート動画に変貌してしまった(笑)。

マレーシアのマハティール氏のドキュメンタリーを見た。あるアメリカ人の銀行家は彼を「トランプ的な独裁者」と評したが、「公の精神」の深さという点において、両者は全く性質が異なる。華人系とマレー系の格差是正に心血を注いだ元医者と、格差と分断を自らの支持基盤を熱狂させるための道具として利用しつつもTACOる元不動産屋。この差には、流石のマキアヴェリもフィレンツェの墓から「そこ、全然違うから!」と、鋭いツッコミを入れるに違いない。

先日紹介した糸川英夫氏の本で、なぜ彼が飛行機の設計に興味を持ったかが説明されていた。1927年にリンドバーグが飛行機での大西洋横断に成功した時、当時中学生だった糸川氏は彼に「太平洋はおまえが飛べ!」と言われた気がしたそうだ。人は自分で設定した目標が高いと挫折しやすいが、他人から頼まれた目標には(裏切れないという心理が働いて)使命感がより強くなるという。この「使命感をでっち上げる」という発想はぜひ参考にしたい。
