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)

これまで限界費用がゼロに近い高収益モデルで「いとも簡単に」莫大に稼いできた企業が、なぜインフラのような「しんどい」重厚長大ビジネスへ突進するのか不思議でならない。広告からサブスクへのシフトも、DisneyやNetflixのようにうまくはいかないだろう。ゴールドラッシュで本当に勝ったのはツルハシ屋やジーンズ屋で、一攫千金を狙って西に突進した山師達は彼らを潤す労働者と化してしまった — そんな歴史の皮肉を思い出す昨今のAI。

岡本太郎氏は「芸術は爆発だ」と言った。僕にとっての芸術もしくは創作は、初期衝動、怒り、問題提起といった「ヤケクソ」を美に換える作業だ。衝動のまま形にするのもいいが、ヤケクソを手なずけ、冷静に、丁寧に編集・構築・物語化することで作品に昇華する。そのために不可欠なのが、経験に裏打ちされた技術(アート)なのだと思う。ただ、技術があれば作品めいたものは作れるが、肝心のヤケクソを生み出すことはできない。

年齢を重ねるほど好奇心が広がり、学びたいことが増えて忙しくなる。日々の制作に加えて勉強したいことが山積み。だが、そこに焦りはない。制作に1000時間かかるアルバムを100時間で完成できても、そこに楽しさはないのと同じだ。自発的な学びや創作の醍醐味は「過程」にあり、効率やタイパとは全く次元が異なる。やってもやっても終わらない感覚。それは時間が足りない焦りではなく、「終わりなき充実感」の中にいるということだと思う。
