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)

かつて若手ピアニストがアーマッド・ジャマルに「あなたの演奏は空白(間, space)が絶妙ですね」と称賛したら、「あれは空白じゃなくて、自制心(discipline)と呼ぶんだよ」と返されたという。音を増やすより減らす方が、遙かに経験や訓練を要するのは当然だが、「(少ないが)足りている」のと「(何かが欠けて)足りない」の差は大きい。この差の間に「ミニマリズム」の答えがあると思う。

以前、英・中・西の3言語で世界の3分の1(約28億人)という話を書いたけれど、日本語の話者は世界で約1.5%程度。ネットであれ現実であれ、日本語だけが交わされる空間は、小さな部屋に人が密集している状態だということ。その密度の良し悪しは人それぞれだけど、世界の98.5%の人はその中でのせめぎ合いを全く知らずに過ごしている。そう考えると、日々の些末なことがあまり気にならなくなるのでは?パゴーヂ(サンバ)の名曲で良い週末を。

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)
