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)

12/8拍子、いわゆる「シャッフル」と呼ばれるリズムは、長い歴史を持つ。僕はよく使うけれど、エレクトロニックミュージックの世界では、「4つ打ち」のようにどこでも聴けて誰もが使うリズムではない。でも、昨日紹介した曲のように3連符の感覚を取り入れたリズムこそ、欧米と非欧米の世界を繋ぐカギが隠されているのではないかと思ったりもする。もしガーナのエウェ族の12/8拍子&ポリリズムを大きなフェス会場で奏でたら、どんなDJも勝てないだろう。

ドジャースの連覇も、日本人選手の活躍も、もちろん喜ばしいことだ。けれど最近は、自分のこれまでの情報や知識のソースが、あまりに欧米と日本に偏っていたことを少し反省している。世界の野球人口がクリケット人口に及ばないことすら知らなかったし、エヌビディアやオープンAIのように英語圏のメディアを賑わしている企業だけが、世界のAI技術を牽引しているわけでもない。音楽もまた、リズムやグルーヴに関しては特に、欧米の外に聴くべきものが山ほどある。

毎日1万歩以上歩くので、シューズは1年もまず持たない。だからいつも同じメーカーの同じサイズのものを何足も履き続けているのだけれど、メーカーがモデルを新しくしてしまうので、全く同じものを買い続けるのは難しい。今回購入した新しいモデルはフィット感が全然違っていて、何か変だなと思いつつも5日履いた挙げ句に足底筋膜炎になってしまった。こういう時はストレッチをして無理をせず、かつ余計な検索結果や煽り記事に惑わされないことが大事(笑)。
