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)

自律神経とホルモン。日常でよく耳にする言葉だが、専門家ですらその「仕組みの違い」は理解していても、「どちらが原因か」を特定するのは極めて難しいという。ところで、テストステロンは誤解されがちな「攻撃のスイッチ」ではなく、年齢や性別を問わず、自分が属する場所で「いかに価値ある存在であり続けるか」を支える、極めて“社会的なホルモン”らしい。「自分らしく、社会の中で価値を感じて生きる」ことは、誰にとっても大切なことだと思う。

映画『ボビー・フィッシャーを探して』のモデルの天才チェス少年で、その後太極拳からフォイリング(通称「飛ぶヨット」)までを極める「上達の達人」ジョシュ・ウェイツキンは、自身の体調管理のためにHRV(心拍変動)を常に測定していると聞いた。僕も前から興味があったのだが、成人してこのかた腕時計すら殆どしたことのない僕はスマートウォッチを腕に装着するのに抵抗があった。ついに重い腰を上げて1つ手に入れたのだけど、これ着けて寝られるかな…。

「言語化」ばかりがもてはやされる風潮には少し抵抗がある。英語圏の音楽ライセンス業界では、ずっと前から「自分の曲を言語化し、検索できるキーワードや説明に落とし込む力」が必須のスキルだった。知らない単語を覚えたことは勉強になったが、「耳で楽しむものを文字にするほど野暮なことはない」という思いは今も強い。僕は絵心がないので、言語化よりも、伝えたいことや相手から聞いた情報を的確に絵にできる「視覚化能力(描写力)」がもっと欲しい。
