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)

先日、豚を愛でるチャーチルの言葉を紹介したが、対照的にバーナード・ショーは「豚とレスリングをするな。泥まみれになるし、豚はそれを喜ぶからだ」と遺した。豚には大層失礼な話だ。要は「君子危うきに近寄らず」なのだが、SNS全盛の昨今、「反応しない=同じ土俵に乗らずにスルーを貫く」のはさぞ難しいのだろう。ただ、自己顕示欲や承認欲求におぼれる人間とは違って、豚は純粋に泥を楽しんでいるだけだ。やっぱりショーの言葉は豚に失礼だと思う。

Merriam-Webster辞典の「Word of the Day」を聴き始めて3、4年。難易度は高く、パッと分かるのは半分くらいで、数日全滅することもある。昨日の「jejune(幼稚な)」も初耳だったが、米国の認知度はわずか5〜10%。「アンチ・ボキャブラリー」が基本のアメリカでこれを使うと「気取っている」と思われる可能性があるが、英国人がこういう高尚な表現を使うのを聞くと「さすが、知的でクール」と崇められる。何やねんそれ(笑)。

先日、心理学者ニール・ワインスタインが提唱した「ノンスクリーナー/スクリーナー」という概念を知った。周囲のノイズに敏感で集中を削がれやすい人と、雑音下でも素早く適応できる人の分類だ。僕はこのマイクロブログやお金の計算、語学の勉強ならカフェでも平気だが、作曲/創作やプログラミングは自宅でないと捗らない。個人の「気質」「傾向」の問題もあるが、一人の人間でも「何の作業をどの位の深さで行うか」によって随分違いがありそうだ。
