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)

イギリスのダンスミュージックは、最新曲であっても、90年代レイヴの遺伝子を色濃く引きずっている。そんなことを考えていたら、90年代末にDJをしたロンドンのクラブ「Turnmills」のことをふと思い出した。土曜朝の名物「Trade」の直前に行われていた「Headstart」というパーティだったはずだ。六本木のレコ屋に入るのに躊躇していた学生が、その10年後には欧州からアジアまでDJで飛び回っていたのだから、人生は、動いた分だけ偶然が増える。

アートが真に社会を揺るがすのは、作者が社会への影響をコントロールしようとしたり、メッセージを伝えるためにアートを「手段化」した時ではない。作者自身の個人的で純粋な衝動を突き詰めた結果、それが結果的に社会のバグや本質を映し出してしまった時だと思う。確かに、気候変動や格差問題といった大義名分を謳(うた)えば助成金は得やすいかもしれない。しかし、それではアートの純度や質を損なってしまう恐れがある。

『スター・ウォーズ』を創る時のルーカスは、完全に客観的な「神の視点(CENがフル稼働した状態)」にいる。しかし、現実の予算や人間関係に悩まされる瞬間、さすがのルーカスの脳も一瞬で「主観の檻(扁桃体)」にハイジャックされてしまう。 この主観に対し、クリエイティビティを使って「負のナラティブや雑音(Chatter)」を上書きする力―それはフィクションを作る以上の訓練が必要だが、創作以上に大切なことかもしれない。
