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)

一時期、エピクテトスの言葉に深く感動して読み耽っていたけれど、今はそのドライすぎる視点に「もう少し夢を見てもいいんじゃない?」と感じる部分がある。奴隷という過酷な境遇にいた彼には必要な強さだったのかもしれないが、その哲学を突き詰めると「宝くじが当たっても外れても、僕の幸福には無関係だ」なんて言う、寂しい人になってしまいそう。さて、そろそろ創作に本腰を入れたいので、マイクロブログはしばらく不定期更新とさせていただきます!

創作の範囲が驚くほど多岐に渡るゲーテは、「過去を振り返って反省する」タイプではなく、「今の自分を作品に叩きつけたら、すぐさま次の新しい自己へ脱皮する」タイプだった。彼にとって書くことは自己形成の手段であり、書き終えた瞬間、その時の自分はもう次のレベルに移動していると考える。この姿勢には強く同感だ。自作への評価は光栄だが、僕にとって過去作は「当時の全力の落書き」のようなもの。常に脱皮し、「今作りたい音」を追い求めていたい。

トランプのSNS投稿という、現代社会で最も信じてはいけないものに世界中が右往左往している。だが、これはもはや彼だけのせいではない。それに過剰反応する側の責任も大きい。彼の投稿をソースにコピペ記事を書く輩を「ジャーナリスト」と呼び、その一喜一憂にレバレッジをかけてギャンブルに励む輩を「投資家」と呼ぶのは、さすがに劣化しすぎだろう。と、そんな「どうでもいい現象」について、わざわざ時間を割いて書いている自分も、過剰反応なのか(笑)

実は「ギャンブル」と同じ?! 投資の本質を考えてみた | 週刊エコノミスト Online https://bit.ly/4bGaheE
