Dark Model – Broken Arrows

Dark Model 2014

This is the next preview from Dark Model’s first album which will be released on May 16th, 2014. This track begins with a dark piano intro and builds dramatically with a full orchestral arrangement and massive electronic beats.

By the way, this may be different from what you would expect from the title, but this track was not inspired by the famous movie “Broken Arrow.” Not limited to the feudal era in Japan or the Middle Ages in Europe, there has been many parables and anecdotes where “arrows” come up as symbols of human bonds and wills such as loyalty, trust, creed, or even fighting spirit. Those symbolic connotations inspired me. Having said that, what I wanted to incorporate into this music was, “Your (fighting) spirit never dies even if your arrows are broken.” That is opposite to most of the contexts where broken arrows are figuratively used.

For details of Dark Model’s first album, please refer to the album page.

This track has been licensed and featured in some media projects such as Mr. X Inc’s 2016 trailer. (article)

“Inverse Paranoid(インヴァース・パラノイド)”という言葉は、英語圏でも特に広く知られているわけではないが、僕は常々面白い概念だと思っている。単なるポジティブシンキングや、スティーブ・ジョブス、トランプ、カニエなどに見られる「RDF(現実の捻じ曲げ)」とも異なり、「良いことも悪いことも含め、自分に起こることすべてが、自分を鍛え、成長させる機会だ」と捉える考え方を指す。「不幸や不運は自己成長のチャンス」と解釈して毎日生きられたら、最強。

犬の嗅覚が人間より優れていることは知っていたが、アフリカゾウの嗅覚は犬の比ではないらしい。遠く離れた水の匂いまで識別できるというが、だからといってありとあらゆる匂いを拾って困るわけではなく、その識別能力は生存やコミュニケーションのために適切に使われているようだ。ところで、耳には音楽、目には映画と、それぞれの感覚と結びついた時間芸術があるけれど、「匂いの時間芸術」があるとすれば何だろう?

ある会社から「自動生成AIを盛り込んだので、あなたのサブスクを“Pro”プランに移行して値上げしました」と知らせが来た。自動生成は必要ないのでプランを戻そうとしたら、ウェブでは変更できない仕組みに。仕方なくチャットで連絡すると、ダウングレードしたいと言っているのに、逆にサービスを追加しないかと食い下がってくる。この「解約あるある in USA」な手法に「ダーク・パターン」なんて立派な呼び名がついていることをつい最近知った、善良な民ダーク・モデルなのでした(笑)。
