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)

僕がプロとして音楽を始めた頃、ダンスミュージックの魅力の一つに「匿名性の面白さ」があった。DJがスピンする曲で盛り上がっていても、どの国の誰の曲か分からないし、そんなことに関心を持つ気配もない。DJブースの場所や、誰がプレイしているのかすら分からないこともあった。その晩のヒーロー/主役はDJではなく(グルーヴや音の響き、ストーリーなど、すべてを含めて)「音」。Ron TrentのDJは、そんな純度の高い音楽体験を提供し続けている。

最近のUK/USインディ・レーベルの音をチェックしていると、「インディ」とは思えないほど、新人でも随分豪華なミュージックビデオ(MV)を作っている。複数のAIに「販促・宣伝費はどうやって捻出するの?」と聞いたところ、「実質的にはアーティストがレーベルにローン(前借り)する形です。アーティストは“リスクは最初に負い、報酬は最後に得る存在”なのです」と返ってきた。そうした世界とは無縁に、音楽業を30年、レーベルを20年続けてこられたことは奇跡かもしれない。

人間は物語を自分本位に紡いでしまう性質がある。それが時に独善となり、自分を苦しめる。ヴィクトール・フランクルの説く「生きる意味」が、いつしか自分を縛る「執着(べき論)」に変貌する瞬間だ。ここでアルバート・エリスは「その解釈は認知的にゆがんでいないか? 自分を助ける考えか?」と自問し、主観の暴走を食い止めることを提唱する。フランクルとエリスは対照的に見えて、実は「解釈という刃」を使いこなすための、表裏一体の考え方だと思う。
