Track Description

This is the next preview from Dark Model’s full album. An uplifting, trance-esque orchestral electronic track featuring minimalistic piano, strings & horn phrases, and marching drums.

I wanted to put some optimistic energy into the album with this track. It may come off as unexpected from the name of the project, but I don’t intend to put any negative message into music under the name of Dark Model. Instead, I aim at making music that can inspire and motivate listeners. Themes underlying this project are something like “how to live positively and move forward even when you are in the darkness” or “how to cope with the darkness (of the world, inside you, etc.).”

Regarding Dark Model’s first album, please refer to this article.

このところファンクを少し離れて、6/8拍子やさらに複雑なポリリズムの音楽をいろいろ聴いているけれど、やはりジェームス・ブラウンの音楽は僕にとって、九九やアルファベットのように、いつでも立ち返るべき場所。この1969年のテレビ・ライブでドラムを叩いているのは、おそらくネイト・ジョーンズ(Nate Jones)。ツインドラム編成だった当時のJBバンドにあって、この人は単独でも凄まじくタイトでキレのあるグルーヴを生み出している。

僕は血圧がかなり低く、心拍数も低いので、測定時に「過去にトライアスロンとか、激しい運動でもしていたのか?」と聞かれることがある。生来のアスリートタイプでは全然ないけど、毎日8千歩以上歩き、BMIは17前後、病気とも無縁。朝も一瞬で起きられるし、50代半ばとしては健康な方だと思う。ただ、「過去に激しい音楽でも作っていたのか?」と聞かれたら、「今も作ってます」と正直に答えるしかない(笑)。
