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)

陶芸の世界に魅せられている。まず驚くのはその自由度の高さ。「どこからどこまでを陶芸と呼ぶのか」が分からないほど表現が広がっている。それでいて、コンテンポラリーアートにありがちなコンセプト(作文)やウンチクだけで押し切ろうとする小賢しさやあざとさ(笑)が一切ない。ひとえに「まず圧倒的な技術の裏付けがなければ話にならない」という工芸の大原則が守られているのだ。当面の目標は、稲崎さんの作品の実物をこの目でみること。

DTMをやっている人には、Native Instruments社のサンプラーソフト「Kontakt」はお馴染みだと思う。2002年の登場から数々のアップデートを経ても基本設計は大きく変わっていないけれど、発売時から愛用している僕自身、まだ使っていない機能が山ほどある。だから数年に一度、このソフトの深掘りに時間を割くことにしている。というわけで、今週はもっぱらこの文字のやたら小さなUI画面と格闘中。次の曲作りに役立つといいな。

2010年出版の『インビジブル・エッジ』を読み返す。かつてのアメリカは知財オペレーションという「頭脳戦」に傾倒し、結果として現場の製造スキルや品質向上を手放してしまった。 2026年の今、潮目は変わっている。もはや知財の威光だけで勝てる時代ではなく、「その知財で何を作り出せるのか」というモノづくりの実体価値が改めて問われているように思う。足りないのは、手足を動かして価値を生み出しているという「リアリティ(実感)」なのだ。
