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)

生成AIの検索1回には、従来のGoogle検索の約10倍の電力がかかるという。僕はSDGsや循環型社会を唱えまくる人間ではないけれど、僕が暇つぶしにくだらない質問を投げかけ、AIが長文で回答を返すまさにその瞬間、どこかのデータセンターのサーバーがフル稼働し、(スマホを数分充電する程度の)電力を消費してCO2を排出している。半導体景気に狂喜乱舞する昨今、自分も含めたこのアンチ・サスティナブルな暴走の矛盾に、ふと寒気がする。

かつて若手ピアニストがアーマッド・ジャマルに「あなたの演奏は空白(間, space)が絶妙ですね」と称賛したら、「あれは空白じゃなくて、自制心(discipline)と呼ぶんだよ」と返されたという。音を増やすより減らす方が、遙かに経験や訓練を要するのは当然だが、「(少ないが)足りている」のと「(何かが欠けて)足りない」の差は大きい。この差の間に「ミニマリズム」の答えがあると思う。

以前、英・中・西の3言語で世界の3分の1(約28億人)という話を書いたけれど、日本語の話者は世界で約1.5%程度。ネットであれ現実であれ、日本語だけが交わされる空間は、小さな部屋に人が密集している状態だということ。その密度の良し悪しは人それぞれだけど、世界の98.5%の人はその中でのせめぎ合いを全く知らずに過ごしている。そう考えると、日々の些末なことがあまり気にならなくなるのでは?パゴーヂ(サンバ)の名曲で良い週末を。
