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)

「無神論」とは違って、僕は「信じる能力」や「信じることそのもの」に対して懐疑的なところがあるのだけど、「無信論」なんて言葉はもちろん存在しない。そこで、この考えに近いものは何かとAIに聞いたら、「懐疑主義、科学主義、実存主義、ヒューマニズム、もしくはポストモダンです」という答えが返ってきた。「信じることに依存しない生き方こそが真の自由に繋がる」という考え方を、皮肉やニヒリズムに逃げないで伝えられた思想家として、フロムは貴重かも知れない。

「ベートーヴェンはナポレオンを民衆の擁護者と称賛して『英雄』を作曲し、その後、権力に媚びる姿勢に失望して反感を抱いた」というエピソードがある。真相はさておき、音楽が宮廷貴族(クライアント)主催のパーティーミュージックだったモーツァルトの時代と比べると、ベートーヴェンの作曲動機は明らかにアーティスト的であり、音楽(家)の存在理由が18~19世紀にかけて大きく変化したことがよく分かる。オーディエンスにはその違いがあまり意識されないかも知れないけれど。

ただいまtatsuyaoe.comのテコ入れ作業中。情報の更新はしているけど、たまにPHPやWordPressのキャッチアップ作業が必要になる。自分が運営しているウェブサイトの中では最も古株のこのサイト、2002年に立ち上げた当初はDreamweaverでコツコツ更新していた。Findingsのページはその頃から存在していて、途中で長文形式になったけど、今は初期のフォーマットに戻った感じ。2002年はこんな曲を作ってました。
