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)

TVerで見た番組で、旅人の岩崎圭一さんのことをたまたま知った。ストリートマジックで稼いだチップを糧に自転車で世界一周を続けているという。その逞しさに画面に釘付けになったが、彼が「Britain’s Got Talent」に出場していたと知ってさらに驚いた。エベレスト登頂、大西洋を手漕ぎボートで横断、そしてあのサイモン・カウエルを芸で唸らせる…。「人力(人間力)の可能性」を教えてくれる、国宝級の存在だと思う。無事に帰国されることを祈っております。

インドに実在する予備校『スーパー30』を映画化したこの作品で、特に印象に残ったセリフが二つある。「英語は僕らと富裕層を隔てる大きな壁だ。英語はお金よりも大事だ」「王の息子が王になる時代は終わった。これからは、ふさわしい能力を持つ者がなるのだ」 このところ日本の一部では、まるで日本が経済的に息を吹き返したかのような物語を信じさせようとする風潮がある。この二つのセリフに込められた切実さとは、無縁の世界のように思える

新しい作業場にようやく光回線を設置できた。2か月ほどポケットWiFi(!)でやりくりしているうち、自然と動画を見ずネットラジオばかり聴く習慣がついた。ラジオが聴ける程度の回線さえあれば、大抵の仕事はでき、無駄な娯楽に逃げず創造的な活動に集中できる。そのおかげで数十曲のデモを作れたのは大きな収穫だった。心理学者ロロ・メイによると、不安こそが創造への起爆剤だという。だとすれば、これほどクリエイティブに適した時代は滅多にないはずだ。
