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)

映画『マネーボール』で一躍有名になったアスレチックス。現在は低迷しているが、ビリー・ビーンによる「データを活用した選手起用」は当時は画期的だった。「良い選手を獲得する資金力のなさ」よりも「得点力のなさ」が真の問題だと気付くのに統計が役立ったという訳だ。メディアやSNSで人気者のアーティスト生活を夢見るのも悪くないが、「独立した音楽家として持続可能なキャリアを築く」ことを優先するならば、統計の知識は味方になってくれる。

(編集・再掲)何年かおきに、小倉を訪ねたくなる最大の理由は「松本清張記念館」があるから。僕にとってあの場所は、40歳を過ぎたデビューから700超の作品を遺した、彼の驚異的な創作力を肌で感じられる「パワースポット」なのだ。創作の原動力となったハングリーさや闘志、そして劣等感。人類が月や火星へ行く時代になっても、これらはお金で買うことはできない。芥川賞受賞作の『或る「小倉日記」伝』は、ずっしり重い初期の傑作。

ILMやピクサーのドキュメンタリーを観ると、設立当初の奔放な姿勢は影を潜め、巨額の予算と重責から「失敗が許されない構造」へと変貌したことが分かる。失敗の回避は往々にして予定調和を招く。しかし、そうならないために、彼らは小規模なプロジェクトを重ね、意図的に試行錯誤を繰り返しているようだ。大失敗を避けるには、小さな失敗を積み重ねるほかない。創作に限らず、「小さく始めて、小さく、沢山失敗する」ことが前進の秘訣だろう。
