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)

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)。

アフリカのガーナと南インドは、ダンスと音楽を深掘りするうえで欠かせない重要エリアだ。それらの文化を探るなかで、双方の現地に深く入り込み、人類学的な研究を重ねてきた教授の存在を知った。石井教授の研究テーマの中心は「憑依・呪術・儀礼」といった人々の宗教実践だが、それらの行為をつなぐ架け橋こそが音楽やリズムだと思う。「憑依って何ですか?」というストレートな問いから始まるこの動画、思わず見入ってしまった。

普段あまりニュースをチェックしない僕は、世間からワンテンポ遅れて草間彌生さんの訃報を知った。渋谷の映画館でドキュメンタリー『わたし大好き』を観たし、自伝『無限の網』は何度も読み返した。NYのチェルシーにあるデイヴィッド・ツヴィルナーのギャラリーから新宿の草間彌生美術館まで、さまざまな展覧会にも足を運んだ。思い返せば、かなりのファンだ。北斎と同様、僕の中では別格の存在。謹んでご冥福をお祈りいたします。
