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)

エドワード・サイードの代表的著書『オリエンタリズム』で、彼は西欧諸国がつくりあげた東洋へのイメージや偏見を徹底的に批判した。彼自身は複雑でパッチワーク的なアイデンティティーの持ち主であり、自らを「アウト・オブ・プレイス(場違い、部外者)」と定義している。考えようによっては(西洋に追随し帝国主義に走った)日本も「場違いな東洋」だろう。「場違いの国に生まれた場違い」として(笑)、僕は彼の主張に一筋の光を感じる。

Web2.0華やかりし頃にWiredのクリス・アンダーソンが「ロングテール」という概念を打ち出した。販売機会の少ない商品でもアイテム数を幅広く取り揃えることで、総体としての売上げは大きくなるという理想郷。あれから20年経ち、Spotifyは年間1,000回再生に満たない楽曲にはロイヤリティを支払わないというルールを導入した。デジタルの世界でも管理コストはかかるし、アルゴリズムはロングテールに味方しない。現実の流通・小売と同じと言えば同じ。

40過ぎる頃までは、超夜型の生活をしていた。東京に住んで西海岸の連中と仕事をしていると、朝6時になっても、まだ彼らは昼食の時間。時間が押しているプロジェクトになると、いつまで経っても寝られない、なんてこともしばしば。ただ、渡米して彼らと同じ時間帯で仕事ができて楽になったかというと、その手の「他人のペースで動く仕事」自体をきっぱりやめた。それ以降、僕にとっての朝6時は普通に「起床の時間」になった。めでたしめでたし。
