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)

日本での知名度はほぼゼロだが、CNBCやBloombergからBBCまで、このところEd Zitron(エド・ジトロン)が経済メディアに登場しない日はない。 画面上の彼は「ブリティッシュアクセントでAIバブル崩壊論をまくしたてる好戦的な兄ちゃん」だが、自身のブログでは様々な財務データを用いて、かなり地に足のついた分析を展開している。アメリカ人の中からこういうタイプが現れないのは、実は日本と似て「空気で動く」からかもしれない。

現在『アフリカを学ぶ人のために』という本を読んでいる。編者の松田素二教授によると、日常的に起こる紛争や対立の解決策として、加害者と被害者が「対話的真実」を求め話し合う試みがあるという(南アフリカやルワンダなどの例)。2050年頃には世界人口の4分の1が、今世紀末には3分の1以上がアフリカ人になると推計されている。彼らのコミュニケーション方法に興味を持ち、耳を傾けることは、決して無駄にはならないはずだ。

科学史には、複数の科学者がほぼ同時に同じ発見・発明をなす「複数同時発見(Multiples)」という現象がある。社会学者のR・K・マートンはこれを深掘りし、一人の天才による偉業も「社会の知識が成熟すれば、いずれ誰かが到達した発見を前倒しで達成したに過ぎない」と示唆した。天才とは特殊能力というより、時代の要請を効率よくカタチにする存在らしい。とすると、JBがファンクを作り出したのは「効率」なのか?なんか違う(笑)。
