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)

音楽家のインタビューでよく聞かれる質問の一つが「最初に買ったアルバムは?」というもの。僕はテクノのアーティスト/DJとしてプロのキャリアを始めたけれど、初めて買ったレコードはビリー・ジョエルだし、その後もプログレ、ニューウェーブ、そしてジャズ、現代音楽、R&B、ブラジリアンと渡り歩いてきたので、典型的なテクノ少年的な音楽遍歴ではない。僕にとってテクノとは、それらの音楽のグルーヴや躍動感を結晶化、あるいは抽出した「うまみ」のような存在。

感情を鍵盤に叩きつけるような、パーカッシブで荒っぽいピアノが大好きだ。ジャズならマッコイ・タイナー、そしてインディロックではベン・フォールズの演奏を時々猛烈に聴きたくなる。ピアノに限らず僕は、正確さよりもダイナミックさに惹かれるところがある。大学に入りたての頃、ファンカデリックのようなバンドをやりたくて幾つか音楽サークルを訪問したら、ユーミンのカバーをしていた上級生が「君、ピッキングが荒いね」。大学で音楽仲間を探すのはお門違いだった(笑)。

(2/2) そして、その「(一神教的な文明にある)西洋人が最も難解に感じる世界」は、実は我々東洋人にとってはこうした難解な本を読まずとも「さらっと肌で感じられる」世界だったりする。彼が「無門関」など、禅の公案をいくつも紹介しているのは決して偶然ではない。僕も日々LLMを活用しているが、「言語化の自己ループ」を飛び出て「不思議の環」に到達する人間の知能は、AIが設計する知能とは全く違うということを忘れずに、AIと向き合いたい。
