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)

新しい作業場にようやく光回線を設置できた。2か月ほどポケットWiFi(!)でやりくりしているうち、自然と動画を見ずネットラジオばかり聴く習慣がついた。ラジオが聴ける程度の回線さえあれば、大抵の仕事はでき、無駄な娯楽に逃げず創造的な活動に集中できる。そのおかげで数十曲のデモを作れたのは大きな収穫だった。心理学者ロロ・メイによると、不安こそが創造への起爆剤だという。だとすれば、これほどクリエイティブに適した時代は滅多にないはずだ。

一時期、エピクテトスの言葉に深く感動して読み耽っていたけれど、今はそのドライすぎる視点に「もう少し夢を見てもいいんじゃない?」と感じる部分がある。奴隷という過酷な境遇にいた彼には必要な強さだったのかもしれないが、その哲学を突き詰めると「宝くじが当たっても外れても、僕の幸福には無関係だ」なんて言う、寂しい人になってしまいそう。さて、そろそろ創作に本腰を入れたいので、マイクロブログはしばらく不定期更新とさせていただきます!

創作の範囲が驚くほど多岐に渡るゲーテは、「過去を振り返って反省する」タイプではなく、「今の自分を作品に叩きつけたら、すぐさま次の新しい自己へ脱皮する」タイプだった。書くこと、創ることは自己成長の手段であるという、彼の姿勢には強く同感する。自作への評価は光栄だが、僕にとって過去作は「当時の内なる声を形にした、全力の結晶」のようなもの。常に脱皮し、「今の内なる声」を追い求めていたい。
