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)

日系2世のアーティスト、ルース・アサワのドキュメンタリーを見た。以前から作品は知っていたものの、その生涯や背景に触れるのは初めてで、深く引き込まれた。彼女は第二次大戦中の日系人強制収容所で、同じく収容されていたディズニーのアニメーターから絵を学んだという。逆境をアートへの扉へと転換した彼女の強さに胸を打たれると同時に、ふと思った。僕の曽祖父の家族もまた、あの時代、同じ場所にいたのかもしれない、と。

最近使う生成AIは3つほどに絞られた。その一つ、Geminiの強みは「知能の高さより、UXのフリクションレス(摩擦のなさ)」を追求している点だ。個人利用において我々は、説教や融通の利かないファクトチェックは不要だし、時に「正解」さえ求めていない。この「ザラつき(違和感)のないコミュニケーション/インターフェイス」の設計力こそ、今のデザインやサービス開発に最も問われている。アートや創作においては、違和感は大事な要素だけれど。

ラスタファリズムで言う「イスラエル12支族」という概念は、迷えるアフリカ系ジャマイカの人々(特に貧困層)のことであって、現在騒がせている国家イスラエルとは関係がない。”Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir / So that every mouth can be fed”(朝起きて、パンのために奴隷のように働く。みんなの腹が満たせるように。)というこの曲がヒットしたのは、僕が生まれる1年前。そんなに昔のことでもない。
