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)

(3/3) 創作や勉強、瞑想などの「長時間没頭できる習慣」を持つことが、単なる集中力の向上ではなく、「余計な物語工場への侵入を物理的にロックアウトする時間」を確保することにもつながる——そんな視点は、創作に携わる身としてもとても興味深い。もちろん、DMNを全て排除すべし!と言っているわけではなくて、毎日2時間のウォーキングが無理なくDMN時間を作ってバランスを取るのに役立っていると思う。

(2/3) だからといって、この傾向をコントロールできないわけではない。作曲や勉強、あるいは瞑想など、明確な対象に向けてCEN(中央実行ネットワーク)をフル稼働させているとき、脳の処理リソースはほぼ100%、その対象に注がれる。なぜなら、ナラティブを編むには「過去の記憶を呼び起こし、未来を予測する」という複雑な処理が必要だからだ。つまりCENがしっかり働いている間、DMNは物理的に“物語を紡ぐ余裕”を持てなくなる。

(1/3) 創作として物語を紡いだり、他人の物語に耳を傾けるのは好きだけれど、人間の脳が“勝手に”物語(ナラティブ)を作り出す働きを持つ習性を、時に煩わしく感じることがある。それは、先日少し触れたDMNが活性化している状態だ。もしこの物語生成が常にポジティブな方向に働くなら、人生はさぞ楽しいだろう。しかし現実には、誤解や思い込み、予期不安、ときには妄想といったネガティブな方向へ認知を歪めてしまうことも少なくない。
