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)

布団にくるまり、何か映画でも見ようと思う。幸か不幸か、ジャン・リュック・ゴダールのドキュメンタリーに出会ってしまった。彼は時間芸術、とりわけ王道的な映画が持つ「物語性」を破壊することで革命と混乱を起こした。「物語を信じない」と斬り、自分の人生から作品に至るまで偶然や断片という眼差しで解体したのが、デヴィッド・ボウイだ。世界はいつしか物語まみれの時代に戻り、アルゴリズムに翻弄され、空虚な「辻褄合わせ」に躍起になっている。

エドワード・サイードの代表的著書『オリエンタリズム』で、彼は西欧諸国がつくりあげた東洋へのイメージや偏見を徹底的に批判した。彼自身は複雑でパッチワーク的なアイデンティティーの持ち主であり、自らを「アウト・オブ・プレイス(場違い、部外者)」と定義している。考えようによっては(西洋に追随し帝国主義に走った)日本も「場違いな東洋」だろう。「場違いの国に生まれた場違い」として(笑)、僕は彼の主張に一筋の光を感じる。

Web2.0華やかりし頃にWiredのクリス・アンダーソンが「ロングテール」という概念を打ち出した。販売機会の少ない商品でもアイテム数を幅広く取り揃えることで、総体としての売上げは大きくなるという理想郷。あれから20年経ち、Spotifyは年間1,000回再生に満たない楽曲にはロイヤリティを支払わないというルールを導入した。デジタルの世界でも管理コストはかかるし、アルゴリズムはロングテールに味方しない。現実の流通・小売と同じと言えば同じ。
