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)

この数か月、西洋以外の音楽を色々聴いてきた。声楽的には単声(モノフォニー)構造のものが多いのだけれど、リズムに関しては実に複層的で、一聴しただけではつかめないポリリズムや変拍子のものに沢山出会う。しかもそれが大衆音楽として普通に浸透している。意外な発見は、中東では音楽やダンスの発展において、「結婚式」がとても大事な役割を果たしてきたということ。日本はともかく、世界は踊りに踊りまくってるのだった。

「沈黙は検索できない」と何度か書いたことがある。沈黙こそ人間に残された最高の知性ではないか。言葉や音の間にある空白をコントロールすることは、表現の本質だ。あえて黙るという選択をコンピュータが「無意味」と捉える限り、シンギュラリティが来ても人間の知性を超えることはないだろう。情報のノイズが溢れる今ほど、「黙る」ことの価値が高まっている時代はないと思う。そして、黙る行為は人間が機械に将来を奪われない防衛策にもなる。

90年代半ば、AIではなくAL(人工生命)や複雑系、カオス理論に魅せられ、浅い理解ながら本を読みあさっていた時期がある。現在それらの研究はデータサイエンスやネットワーク科学等に吸収・再編成されたが、当時の複雑系の世界は文字通り混沌とし、遊びと研究の境目もない熱気があった。そのムーブメントの中心にあったのが「サンタフェ研究所」だ。まだ健在だったとは。遊びと研究とビジネスが同義な世界、大好き(笑)。
