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)

21世紀末には世界人口の8割以上を「グローバルサウス」が占めると言われる。この地域のアジアやアフリカ、中南米などのIT事情を現地取材で届ける「Rest of World」は貴重なメディアだったが、立ち上げ数年で単体での配信停止となった。Google元CEOの娘が100億円近い私財を投じたプロジェクトだったと知り、その「Rest of World(その他の世界)」という名に込められた目線に複雑な思いがしつつ、あっけない幕引きに驚いている。

本棚を整理していて栗本慎一郎氏を思い出し、懐かしの『パンツをはいたサル』を読み返す。同書で紹介される「過剰と蕩尽」理論の本家、ジョルジュ・バタイユの『呪われた部分』は久しく開いていないが、昨今のAIの暴走や相次ぐサイバー攻撃のニュースに触れ、まさにこの現象だと感じた。過剰な2010年代を経て、様々な局面で蕩尽が始まっているように見える今、内なる声に耳を傾け、ひたむきに生きたい。

僕が創っているのは音楽だが、創作の動機や姿勢に関して、音楽家や作曲家からインスパイアを受けることは滅多にない。発明家、文筆家、映画監督、研究者、そしてさまざまな美術家のインタビューや著書、制作風景に触発されたり共感したりすることはしょっちゅうで、そのための探索は音楽を聴くのと同じくらい好きだ。 陶を素材とする造形作家、田中知美さんの「器を作ろうと思って陶芸を始めたのではない」という言葉がとても印象に残った。
