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)

僕が利用している音楽ストリーミングサービスが薦めてくるプレイリストの一つに「Fresh Jazz」というものがある。しばしば新しい曲に入れ替わるので、数週間空けるとすっかり知らないアーティストの楽曲で埋め尽くされていることもある。そのプレイリストで知って、幾つかアルバムを聴いたのがこのジャズ・ギタリストのMike Bono。速弾きこそしないけれど、ギターのトーンが何となく故アラン・ホールズワースを彷彿とさせる。

人間は他人を批判したり「裁く」と、自分が偉くなったような気がするらしい。自分を相対的に「上」に置くことで、心理的な快感を得るだけでなく、実際に「報酬系」や「快感系」の神経伝達物質(ドーパミン)が体内で分泌されるとのこと(諸説あり)。確かに、ネット上では誰もが神になったかのように他人をぶった切っている。しかし、それで自分に平和が訪れるわけでも、家族の運気が上がるわけでもない。ホルモンは身内が幸せになる方向に活用(?)したい。

このところ、世界の経済・政治の不安定さは増すばかり。かつてはチューリッヒ工科大で、現在は中国深圳の南方科技大でリスク管理を研究するディディエ・ソネット氏の講演を聴いていると、なぜマーケットがまだクラッシュしていないのかが不思議に思えてくる。彼は、新聞王ジランダンの言葉「Gouverner, c’est prévoir(統治は計画と予測の技術である)」を引用しているが、大事なのは国や他の「誰か」ではなく、まずは自分が自分を統治することだと思う。
