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)

ディズニーの「イマジニアリング」を振り返って再確認できることは、テクノロジーはあくまで「手段」であり、クリエイティブこそがその「目的」であるという事実。 本来、表現したいものがあるからこそ技術は発展してきた。しかし、昨今は手段(テクノロジー)が目的(クリエイティブ・社会的意義)を飲み込んでしまっているようにも感じる。 だからこそ今、あえて「テクノロジーを使わないクリエイティブ」に宿る価値を、深く考える習慣を取り戻したい。

ディズニーのイマジニアや、マペット作家ジム・ヘンソンのドキュメンタリーを見たくて、これまで縁のなかったディズニー・プラスに入会してみた。「イマジニアリング〜夢を形にする人々」は、熱心なディズニーファンでなくても、ものづくりやクリエイティブなことに興味のある人なら見て損はしない内容だと思う。トレイラーを紹介したかったのだが、それよりも自分のショート動画を紹介したい衝動が勝るので(笑)、MER『Monkey Business』をお楽しみください。

その昔、香港へDJツアーで出かけたとき、熱気でむせかえるインド人街で大ヒット映画『Disco Dancer(’82)』のVHSを買った。「インドにディスコ、それって最高じゃん!」とハチワレばりに小躍りしながら自宅のビデオデッキに入れると、映像は激しく乱れ、音だけがかすかに聞こえてくる…。インドの規格はPAL方式だったのだ。あの時は諦めざるを得なかった伝説の映画が、今やYouTubeで普通に見られるとは。しかも1.3億再生って、どんだけ人気やねん(笑)。
