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)

D・J・ティースが提唱した「ダイナミック・ケイパビリティ」という経営理論がある。彼に責任があるわけではないし、得られるものも多い理論だが、近年のシリコンバレーの暴走・迷走は、この手の競争理論を表層的に解釈した「ゴールなき手段の最適化」の結果に見える。『鏡の国のアリス』の「その場にとどまるためには、全力で走り続けなければならない」という強迫観念(FOMO)に近い「競争のための競争」も、そろそろ限界が見えてきたのかもしれない。

旧約聖書の一部「コヘレトの言葉」第7章8節に、「Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride.」という言葉がある。僕はユダヤ教やキリスト教の信者ではないが、一つのアルバムを作り終えるたび、いつもこの言葉を思い出す。「物事を単に始めるだけでなく、最後まで形にして完成させることが大切なのだ」と。この言葉を知ったのは、15万点近くの作品を残したと言われるパブロ・ピカソの解説本からだった。

アルバムのミックスダウンを追い込み、16曲を通し聴き。「なかなか良いじゃないの」と浸っていた11曲目、ふとファイル名を見て愕然とした。…これ、3週間前にアートワーク用に作った暫定版だ!その後、細部を詰めて取り組んできた作業の成果に、本人が全く気づいていなかったという事実。 ここは前向きに、「前のミックスの時点で、すでにほぼ完璧に仕上がっていたということだ」という、あふれんばかりの自己肯定感で突っ走ることにします(笑)。
