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)

アートが真に社会を揺るがすのは、作者が社会への影響をコントロールしようとしたり、メッセージを伝えるためにアートを「手段化」した時ではない。作者自身の個人的で純粋な衝動を突き詰めた結果、それが結果的に社会のバグや本質を映し出してしまった時だと思う。確かに、気候変動や格差問題といった大義名分を謳(うた)えば助成金は得やすいかもしれない。しかし、それではアートの純度や質を損なってしまう恐れがある。

『スター・ウォーズ』を創る時のルーカスは、完全に客観的な「神の視点(CENがフル稼働した状態)」にいる。しかし、現実の予算や人間関係に悩まされる瞬間、さすがのルーカスの脳も一瞬で「主観の檻(扁桃体)」にハイジャックされてしまう。 この主観に対し、クリエイティビティを使って「負のナラティブや雑音(Chatter)」を上書きする力―それはフィクションを作る以上の訓練が必要だが、創作以上に大切なことかもしれない。

僕がお風呂でよく流しているディスコファンク系のラジオから、Alton Edwardsのこの曲が聴こえてくる。とてもキャッチーなシンセ・ブギーだが、実は知ったのは割と最近だ。UK産でアルバムリリースのないアーティストだったため、日本ではあまり馴染みがなかったように思う。六本木の「ウィナーズ」あたりなら12インチが置いてあったかもしれないが、上京したての大学生だった僕は、深夜の六本木に一人フラっと立ち寄るほどの肝がまだ据わっていなかった。
