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)

散歩やランニングみたいに足腰を鍛える運動は簡単にできるけれど、上半身を鍛えるとなると、やっぱり道具が欲しくなる。 ふと家を見渡してみたら、エアロバイクにルームランナーと、見事に足腰系ばかり……。ヨガマットの上で腹筋や腕立てはしているけど、以前ジムでベンチプレスをしていた時のような、あの強烈な「力み」が恋しくなる。 というわけで、30kgのアームバーを購入。 ただ、同じ道具使ってもこんなムキムキになれそうな予感は全然しない(笑)。

ロックはもちろん、R&Bやヒップホップといったアメリカのメインストリーム音楽は、もはや「レガシー」の域に入っていて、型破りで新鮮な音楽に出会う機会が減ったのは確か。そんな中ゴスペルの世界では、「一体どうなってるの?」と仰天するような曲やクオリティの高い演奏にしばしば出会う。「神への賛美と希望」というメッセージさえブレなければ、すべての音楽スタイルがゴスペルになるという、超絶的な懐の深さがあるのだろう。才能が集まるのも頷ける。

音楽以外で時間を割いているのが語学と数学の勉強。教養のためではなく、実用を目指すからこそ現実とのギャップに気が遠くなる。英語だってそうだったから、習得には膨大な時間がかかるものだと割り切り、気長に取り組むのが大事。しかし、なぜ音楽だけは挫折を感じないのか。作曲を始めた時点で、すでに膨大な量の音楽が自分の中に蓄積され「準備が整っていた」のもあるが、一番には「他人と比較して優劣を考えない」からだと思う。ありがたい。
