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)

(2/2) そして、その「(一神教的な文明にある)西洋人が最も難解に感じる世界」は、実は我々東洋人にとってはこうした難解な本を読まずとも「さらっと肌で感じられる」世界だったりする。彼が「無門関」など、禅の公案をいくつも紹介しているのは決して偶然ではない。僕も日々LLMを活用しているが、「言語化の自己ループ」を飛び出て「不思議の環」に到達する人間の知能は、AIが設計する知能とは全く違うということを忘れずに、AIと向き合いたい。

(1/2) その昔「だまし絵」のエッシャーについて書かれた本を色々読んだ時期があった。『ゲーデル、エッシャー、バッハ―あるいは不思議の環』は今でも読み継がれている名著で、現在のAIの設計にも影響を与えたであろう「自己言及」について深堀りしている。ただ、著者が本当に模索していたのは、ここでは説明しきれていない(そして今のAI開発者が見落としがちな)『非言語的な混沌(カオス)の世界』に対する人間の認知の仕組みではなかったかと思う。

AIや機械学習の普及で、フィールドワーク(野外調査)をしない研究者が増えているという。開花時期の予測や鳥の移動パターンの観察など、データサイエンスが可能にする領域は多く、テクノロジーの貢献は大きい。ただ、それが現場経験の価値を失わせるわけではない。「自然に触れずして自然を研究する」ことに、ワクワクを感じ続けられるかは、その人の取り組み方や動機次第だと思う。音楽も同じようなところがある。
