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)

以前住んでいたアパートはスタッフがほぼラテン系で、一番仲良かったのはモーガン・フリーマン似のドミニカ共和国出身のベテラン男性。「君をわが家のパーティーに誘おうと思ってたのに、最近会えなくて残念」とある日言われた。当時、彼らの間で大流行していたのがバチャータ。あの超情熱的できわどい踊りの輪に僕を誘うつもりだったのか…そんなわけない(笑)

NHKの語学ラジオには中学生の頃からお世話になっているが、最近はスマホアプリのおかげでより身近になった。僕がよく聴いているのは「まいにち中国語」「ラジオビジネス英語」「英会話タイムトライアル」(これ、面白い)。ポルトガル語やスペイン語も時々聴くが、動詞の活用や名詞の性別があるラテン系言語は、大学時代にフランス語で躓いてからずっと苦手。でも英・中・西が分かれば世界の3分の1の人(約28億人)と繋がれると思うと、夢があるね。

新作のミックスダウンが佳境を迎えている。一つの曲をずっと聴き込んでいると、どうしても耳も頭も近視眼的になっていく。この仕事を長く続けている割に(だからこそ、かな)、僕は「神は細部に宿る」という職人的なエリート意識や美学があまり好きではない。本当の意味で全てのプロセスに責任を持つならば、時間、クオリティ、そしてビジネスを俯瞰するバランス感覚と実行力、そして「モメンタム(勢い)」が不可欠になる。
