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)

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。

DTMをやっている人には、Native Instruments社のサンプラーソフト「Kontakt」はお馴染みだと思う。2002年の登場から数々のアップデートを経ても基本設計は大きく変わっていないけれど、発売時から愛用している僕自身、まだ使っていない機能が山ほどある。だから数年に一度、このソフトの深掘りに時間を割くことにしている。というわけで、今週はもっぱらこの文字のやたら小さなUI画面と格闘中。次の曲作りに役立つといいな。

2010年出版の『インビジブル・エッジ』を読み返す。かつてのアメリカは知財オペレーションという「頭脳戦」に傾倒し、結果として現場の製造スキルや品質向上を手放してしまった。 2026年の今、潮目は変わっている。もはや知財の威光だけで勝てる時代ではなく、「その知財で何を作り出せるのか」というモノづくりの実体価値が改めて問われているように思う。足りないのは、手足を動かして価値を生み出しているという「リアリティ(実感)」なのだ。
