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)

大学生の頃に読んだマリー・シェーファーの『サウンド・エデュケーション』。彼が示した「サウンドスケープ(音の風景)」という概念は、音を取り巻く環境や生態系など「音との関係性」を問い直すきっかけをくれた。後に環境庁が「日本の音風景100選」を選定したが、収録音のチョイスやクオリティの素晴らしさはさておき、その実態は「音の風景」というよりも「風景の音(フィールドレコーディング)」に近い感じがした。ここに、あえてパルス音でも混ぜてみたい(笑)。

「映画にドラマはいらない。ただそこに人間がいて、何かが匂ってくればいいんだ」。かつて小津安二郎はインタビューでそう語ったという。ドゥルーズは小津の映像を「純粋な視覚的・聴覚的状況」と呼んだ。映像デザイン、あるいは環境映像的か。確かに小津の映画は無音でも楽しめる。彼はあの時代、すでに我々とは違う次元で映画を捉えていたのだろう。小津に影響を受けたという米映画『コロンバス』を観ながら、そんなことを考えた。

ロン・ハワード監督による、マペット作家ジム・ヘンソンのドキュメンタリーを見た。想像以上にエネルギッシュで、多忙な創作人生に驚かされる。 幼少期に親しんだ『セサミ・ストリート』に対し、『ダーク・クリスタル』や『ラビリンス』、『ストーリーテラー』といったダークファンタジーは、当時「やんちゃなファンク青年」(笑)だった僕は夢中にはなれなかった。ただ、この時代のジムなしでは、ギレルモ・デル・トロやジェームズ・キャメロンなどの異才が頭角を現さなかったかもしれない。
