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)

Carol Robbinsというハープ奏者が演奏するインスト「Caminhos Cruzados」を聴いていて、タイトル(ポルトガル語で「十字路」)からして、以前どこかで聴いたことがある曲だと思っていたものの、調べるまでには至らなかった。先日、何気なく検索してみたら、トム・ジョビン作曲の超有名曲で、しかも大学時代に毎晩リピートして聴いていたジョアン・ジルベルトのアルバムに収録されていたのだった。もうこれで一生忘れない(笑)。

テクノロジーは常に「レイジー」と「クリエイティブ」の選択を迫る。 思考や感情をAIに丸投げして「楽をする」アプローチと、アイデアの「着想の種」として使い、編集や意図を人間が責任を持ってコントロールするアプローチは全く異なる。「今や誰もがスタジオでAIを使っている」というグラミー賞のエグゼクティブのコメントが引用されているが、もしそれがレイジーな使い方ばかりなのだとしたら、問題なのは技術ではなく使い手の姿勢や業界の文化だろう。

陶芸の世界に魅せられている。まず驚くのはその自由度の高さ。「どこからどこまでを陶芸と呼ぶのか」が分からないほど表現が広がっている。それでいて、コンテンポラリーアートにありがちなコンセプト(作文)やウンチクだけで押し切ろうとする小賢しさやあざとさ(笑)が一切ない。ひとえに「まず圧倒的な技術の裏付けがなければ話にならない」という工芸の大原則が守られているのだ。当面の目標は、稲崎さんの作品の実物をこの目でみること。
