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)

最近はニュースを見る機会を最小限に絞っている。誰に対しても何の意見も持たないくらい無関心になりたいのだが、「究極の無関心と鋼のメンタリティ」の領域にはまだ遠い。そんなことを考えていて、ふと『ザ・デイリー・ショー』のジョン・スチュアートを思い出した。彼のトークは今も天才的で、かつてのように思慮深い。けれど、アメリカと世界があまりに冷え切ってしまった今では、そのジョークの背後にも、「もはや打つ手なし」という虚しさが漂ってきてしまう。

昔、バンドがライブで自曲を演奏する際、加齢と共にテンポが落ちていくのを見て、どこか寂しさを感じたものだ。ダンスミュージックはBPMで細かくジャンルが分かれるため、「遅い曲を作り出したら加齢の証だ」(笑)と一概には言えない。だが「速い曲を聴くのがしんどい」と感じたら、それは何かのサインかもしれない。幸い僕は今のところそういう現象とは無縁で、ここ最近BPM128以上の曲を集中的に作っている。

かつて英文を書く際は、Grammarlyという文法チェッカーを愛用していた。だが数年前、AI機能が大幅に導入されて以降、自分の文章が「誰が書いても同じになる無個性なテンプレ」へ誘導されている気がして、利用を控えるようになった。LinkedIn等でも、”innovative”とか”visionary”、”passionate leader”といった、似た形容詞が並ぶ定型文をよく目にする。AIが作った「完璧すぎるCV」をAIがジャッジするなんて、妙な時代になったものだ。
