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)

視覚芸術の巨匠カルロス・クルス=ディエスのドキュメンタリー『Free Color』を見た。「何の支えも持たず、自律的な存在として、色を空間に解放したい。」キャンバスすら飛び越え、ただ「色だけ」を宙に浮かべたいという、突き抜けた夢を語る姿が印象に残る。彼は95歳で他界したが、家族や科学者たちの挑戦は今も世界中で続いている。視覚も聴覚も、世界はまだ「できそうで、できていないこと」だらけだ。そう思うと無性にワクワクする。

神経科学者のニーナ・クラウス氏は、「音楽のトレーニングと多言語の習得が脳にもたらす絶大なメリット」を科学的に実証してきた。彼女の実験によると、音楽家やマルチリンガルは、騒がしい雑踏でも聴きたい音をクッキリ浮かび上がらせる「脳のフィルタリング機能」が異常に発達しているらしい。まるで映画『メッセージ』を彷彿させる、言語が脳を書き換えるありがたい能力のようだけど…これ、実際は「耳から脳がどっと疲れる」原因でもある(笑)。

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。
