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)

「ブックスマート(学識)」と「ストリートスマート(現場知)」。この二つは対立する能力のように語られがちだが、本質はトレードオフではなく「掛け算」の関係だと思う。つまり片方が備わっていても十分ではないし、伸びしろは幾らでもある。ただ、徒手空拳の生き方に憧れて生きてきた僕が、後者のタイプに強く惹かれるのには理由がある。彼らは、自分を偉く見せようとする虚栄心こそが最もスマートではない、という真理を肌感覚で知っているからだ。

先日数学の話を少し書いたが、意外なところで数学の概念が役に立つことに気づいた。将来への不安や、現状への焦りで気持ちが落ち着かない時、「心を微分して考える」のはどうだろう?単に「今、この瞬間を生きる」だけではなくて、そこに「傾き(方向性)」という概念を取り込む。たとえ全体(積分値)が思わしくなくても、極限まで細分化した「今」という瞬間の傾きがわずかでも上を向いていれば、それは「うまくいっている」と言える。

「ぼくはまいにち、紙の舟をひとつずつ流れに浮かべる。見知らぬ国のだれかがそれをみつけて、僕のことを知ってくれるといいな」 これは、1913年に出版されたインドの思想家、ラビンドラナート・タゴールの散文詩集『三日月』の一節。思えば、自分が音を紡ぎはじめたのもこの感覚に近い。音は一度手を離れると風に舞い、空気を伝って、僕の知らない誰かの耳に届く。この詩を知っただけでも、タゴールに出会えた幸せを感じる。
