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)

以前住んでいたアパートはスタッフがほぼラテン系で、一番仲良かったのはモーガン・フリーマン似のドミニカ共和国出身のベテラン男性。「君をわが家のパーティーに誘おうと思ってたのに、最近会えなくて残念」とある日言われた。当時、彼らの間で大流行していたのがバチャータ。あの超情熱的できわどい踊りの輪に僕を誘うつもりだったのか…そんなわけない(笑)

NHKの語学ラジオには中学生の頃からお世話になっているが、最近はスマホアプリのおかげでより身近になった。僕がよく聴いているのは「まいにち中国語」「ラジオビジネス英語」「英会話タイムトライアル」(これ、面白い)。ポルトガル語やスペイン語も時々聴くが、動詞の活用や名詞の性別があるラテン系言語は、大学時代にフランス語で躓いてからずっと苦手。でも英・中・西が分かれば世界の3分の1の人(約28億人)と繋がれると思うと、夢があるね。

新作のミックスダウンが佳境を迎えている。一つの曲をずっと聴き込んでいると、どうしても耳も頭も近視眼的になっていく。この仕事を長く続けている割に(だからこそ、かな)、僕は「神は細部に宿る」という職人的なエリート意識や美学があまり好きではない。本当の意味で全てのプロセスに責任を持つならば、時間、クオリティ、そしてビジネスを俯瞰するバランス感覚と実行力、そして「モメンタム(勢い)」が不可欠になる。
