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)

先日、心理学者ニール・ワインスタインが提唱した「ノンスクリーナー/スクリーナー」という概念を知った。周囲のノイズに敏感で集中を削がれやすい人と、雑音下でも素早く適応できる人の分類だ。僕はこのマイクロブログやお金の計算、語学の勉強ならカフェでも平気だが、作曲/創作やプログラミングは自宅でないと捗らない。個人の「気質」「傾向」の問題もあるが、一人の人間でも「何の作業をどの位の深さで行うか」によって随分違いがありそうだ。

最近はニュースを見る機会を最小限に絞っている。誰に対しても何の意見も持たないくらい無関心になりたいのだが、「究極の無関心と鋼のメンタリティ」の領域にはまだ遠い。そんなことを考えていて、ふと『ザ・デイリー・ショー』のジョン・スチュアートを思い出した。彼のトークは今も天才的で、かつてのように思慮深い。けれど、アメリカと世界があまりに冷え切ってしまった今では、そのジョークの背後にも、「もはや打つ手なし」という虚しさが漂ってきてしまう。

昔、バンドがライブで自曲を演奏する際、加齢と共にテンポが落ちていくのを見て、どこか寂しさを感じたものだ。ダンスミュージックはBPMで細かくジャンルが分かれるため、「遅い曲を作り出したら加齢の証だ」(笑)と一概には言えない。だが「速い曲を聴くのがしんどい」と感じたら、それは何かのサインかもしれない。幸い僕は今のところそういう現象とは無縁で、ここ最近BPM128以上の曲を集中的に作っている。
