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)

『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。

僕がお風呂でよく流しているディスコファンク系のラジオから、Alton Edwardsのこの曲が聴こえてくる。とてもキャッチーなシンセ・ブギーだが、実は知ったのは割と最近だ。UK産でアルバムリリースのないアーティストだったため、当時の日本にはあまり入ってこなかったのだろう。六本木の「ウィナーズ」あたりなら12インチが置いてあったかもしれないが、上京したての大学生だった僕は、一人で深夜の六本木にフラっと立ち寄るほどの肝が据わっていなかった。

マリー・シェーファーの『世界の調律』は、サウンドスケープを理解する上での大古典。彼は「人類が最初に聴いた音は水(海)の音だ」と言う。一方、僕らは鼻息や心臓が脈打つ音、そしておならの爆発音まで、「自分の身体が出す音」からは終生逃れられないよなあ……。そんなことを考えていたら、それを極めて格調高く、アカデミックかつ哲学的に伝えようとしたのが、かのジョン・ケージだったらしい。上品すぎて今頃気づいたわ(笑)。
