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)

数多くのアスリートを勝利に導いたジオ・ヴァリアンテは、タイガー・ウッズらスーパーアチーバーを例に「最高のパフォーマンスを引き出すメンタル法則!」を熱く語る。チクセントミハイの「フロー理論」からニーチェ、フロイトまで賢人の知恵を紹介した揚げ句に、彼はこう締めるのだ。「結局ね、本を読んで、仲間と質の高い会話をして、ゴルフの打ちっぱなしをしてる今の生活が一番幸せなんですよ。お金かからないし。」そこに行くんかい(笑)。

先日書いた「沈黙する」と同じく、「待つ」力や「聴く」力は、人間が持つ、それでいて忘れられがちな知性だと思う。ただ、せっかちな僕はこの「待つ」のが下手だ。何でも先手先手で取り掛かろうとして、かえって時間の無駄や回り道をすることがある。そんな中、鷲田清一さんの著書『「待つ」ということ』に出会ったが、納得できる話やエピソードが満載で引き込まれた。特にこのページでも紹介されている「幸福を小刻みに」という話に共感。

この数か月、次の作品のアイデアを膨らませつつ「音のフィールドサーベイ」をしてきましたが、かなり照準が絞れてきました。この勢いで曲をどんどん仕上げていきたいと思っています。ということで、このマイクロブログはしばらくの間、不定期更新とさせていただきます。いい作品ができるように頑張ります!それまではCFの最新作『Renaissance』をお楽しみ下さい。
