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)

これまで限界費用がゼロに近い高収益モデルで「いとも簡単に」莫大に稼いできた企業が、なぜインフラのような「しんどい」重厚長大ビジネスへ突進するのか不思議でならない。広告からサブスクへのシフトも、DisneyやNetflixのようにうまくはいかないだろう。ゴールドラッシュで本当に勝ったのはツルハシ屋やジーンズ屋で、一攫千金を狙って西に突進した山師達は彼らを潤す労働者と化してしまった — そんな歴史の皮肉を思い出す昨今のAI。

岡本太郎氏は「芸術は爆発だ」と言った。僕にとっての芸術もしくは創作は、初期衝動、怒り、問題提起といった「ヤケクソ」を美に換える作業だ。衝動のまま形にするのもいいが、ヤケクソを手なずけ、冷静に、丁寧に編集・構築・物語化することで作品に昇華する。そのために不可欠なのが、経験に裏打ちされた技術(アート)なのだと思う。ただ、技術があれば作品めいたものは作れるが、肝心のヤケクソを生み出すことはできない。

年齢を重ねるほど好奇心が広がり、学びたいことが増えて忙しくなる。日々の制作に加えて勉強したいことが山積み。だが、そこに焦りはない。制作に1000時間かかるアルバムを100時間で完成できても、そこに楽しさはないのと同じだ。自発的な学びや創作の醍醐味は「過程」にあり、効率やタイパとは全く次元が異なる。やってもやっても終わらない感覚。それは時間が足りない焦りではなく、「終わりなき充実感」の中にいるということだと思う。
