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)

「言わぬが花」という言葉は好きではないけれど、我々は沈黙を大切な「知性」の一つとしてきた。でも、GoogleやAIは沈黙を検索することはできないし、機械は沈黙を知性だとは見なさない。無関心や沈黙、さらには「電源を切ること」や「回線を遮断すること」も知性の一つだと思う。こうした態度は、最近では「Attention Sovereignty(注意主権)」とも呼ぶらしい。人間が注意の主導権を奪還することができるかどうかは、つまるところ自分次第。

基本的に「音の人」である僕は、世界がますます言語偏重になっていくことを残念に思っている。言語モデル(LLM)が驚くほど沢山の知的タスクをこなせるようになったからといって、「言語化こそが知能の正体」だということにはならない。そこを取り違えると、人間は言葉の奴隷になってしまう。これをどう思うかGeminiに尋ねると、「AIは人間の知性を置き換えるのではなく、人間が持つ知性の“言語化された断面”を極端に肥大化させる装置なのです」。

各アーティスト名義ごとのYouTubeの公式チャンネルが出来たので、それぞれのチャンネル用にショート動画を制作・公開しています。広告やレコメンドなどノイズの多いYouTubeのページにわざわざアクセスして検索や試聴をするのは面倒だと感じる方も多いと思うので、ショート動画だけをまとめて抜粋紹介するページをこのウェブサイト内に作りました。気に入ったチャンネルがあれば、購読していただけると嬉しいです。
