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)

パンチの効いたビートやボーカルを作る際、アタックにTR-808のハイハットやホワイトノイズを薄く重ねると、キックやスネアの解像度が劇的に上がることがある。ハット特有の鋭い「チッ」という音には、10k〜16kHz付近の非常に純度の高いエネルギーが含まれているからだ(単体で聴くとキツイ)。この帯域を超えると人間には聞こえない「超音波」の領域に入るが、犬にとってはここからが本番の可聴範囲となる。犬笛を眺めながら、そんな音の境界線に思いをはせる。

ハリウッド映画界には「Temp Love」という用語がある。制作が猛烈なスピードで進むため、最終的な劇伴が完成するまで、映像には多くの「仮の音楽」が当てられる。有名曲等が使われると、監督はその曲に執着し、作曲家に酷似した曲を求めてしまう。この「仮の音楽への執着とプレッシャー」への対応に苦心する作曲家は多いようだ。僕の既存曲が映像に使われるのは歓迎だけど、あえて書き下ろしの仕事を請けないのは、こうした風潮も理由の一つかもしれない。

この「Rakuen」という曲は、2019年リリースの『Oceans』に収録されているが、最初のバージョンを作ったのはそのずっと前、OE『Director’s Cut』を制作していた頃だったと思う。曲の雰囲気の通り南の島をイメージして作ったのだけれど、当時実際に行ったことのある島は沖縄くらいだった。その後、常夏の島で暮らしてみた後でこの曲を聴くと、頭に浮かぶ映像が俄然リアルなものになった。年中半袖&短パン生活を目指して、今日も頑張るか(笑)。
