Dark Model – Broken Arrows

Dark Model 2014

This is the next preview from Dark Model’s first album which will be released on May 16th, 2014. This track begins with a dark piano intro and builds dramatically with a full orchestral arrangement and massive electronic beats.

By the way, this may be different from what you would expect from the title, but this track was not inspired by the famous movie “Broken Arrow.” Not limited to the feudal era in Japan or the Middle Ages in Europe, there has been many parables and anecdotes where “arrows” come up as symbols of human bonds and wills such as loyalty, trust, creed, or even fighting spirit. Those symbolic connotations inspired me. Having said that, what I wanted to incorporate into this music was, “Your (fighting) spirit never dies even if your arrows are broken.” That is opposite to most of the contexts where broken arrows are figuratively used.

For details of Dark Model’s first album, please refer to the album page.

This track has been licensed and featured in some media projects such as Mr. X Inc’s 2016 trailer. (article)

凹凸の少ないフローリングの部屋は、音を吸収するものがなく、壁や床で音が何度も反射してしまう。特にエネルギーの強いベース音は、部屋の角や壁際に溜まりやすい。見た目こそ洒落ているが、響きが「ライブすぎる」ため、リスニングならまだしも制作には全く不向きだ。今回突発的に思いついて、スピーカーのリアポート(背面の穴)に靴下を突っ込んでみた。この「ソックスチューニング」のおかげで、4畳半の和室のような、デッドで制作向きの音に仕上がった。

中学生の頃、当時人気のあった音楽雑誌に「たとえて言えばライオネル・リッチーは五木ひろし、ダイアナ・ロスは美空ひばり」という記事を見て、その比較の強引さに度肝を抜かれた。今考えると、それは単に「国民的人気歌手」だと言いたいだけで、音楽性やミュージシャンシップの話ではなかったと思う。 同様に、JBを北島三郎さんと並べるのもミスリーディングだ。ただし、いつ聴いても「まつり」の破壊力には畏れ入る。何か、のっけからスラップベース鳴ってない?

僕は動物を飼ったことがないが、子豚に関しては本気で飼いたいと思っていた時期がある。人間や羊、犬など身近な哺乳類には群れる習性があるが、実は種全体で見れば単独行動派が大半らしい。また、集団の作り方も動物によって千差万別だ。かつてチャーチルは「私は豚が好きだ。犬は我々を見上げ、猫は我々を見下すが、豚は我々を対等に扱ってくれる」と語ったという。その言葉が真実なのか、いつか豚に直接聞けたらと思っている。
