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)

現在『アフリカを学ぶ人のために』という本を読んでいる。編者の松田素二教授によると、日常的に起こる紛争や対立の解決策として、加害者と被害者が「対話的真実」を求め話し合う試みがあるという(南アフリカやルワンダなどの例)。2050年頃には世界人口の4分の1が、今世紀末には3分の1以上がアフリカ人になると推計されている。彼らのコミュニケーション方法に興味を持ち、耳を傾けることは、決して無駄にはならないはずだ。

科学史には、複数の科学者がほぼ同時に同じ発見・発明をなす「複数同時発見(Multiples)」という現象がある。社会学者のR・K・マートンはこれを深掘りし、一人の天才による偉業も「社会の知識が成熟すれば、いずれ誰かが到達した発見を前倒しで達成したに過ぎない」と示唆した。天才とは特殊能力というより、時代の要請を効率よくカタチにする存在らしい。とすると、JBがファンクを作り出したのは「効率」なのか?なんか違う(笑)。

アフリカのガーナと南インドは、ダンスと音楽を深掘りするうえで欠かせない重要エリアだ。それらの文化を探るなかで、双方の現地に深く入り込み、人類学的な研究を重ねてきた教授の存在を知った。石井教授の研究テーマの中心は「憑依・呪術・儀礼」といった人々の宗教実践だが、それらの行為をつなぐ架け橋こそが音楽やリズムだと思う。「憑依って何ですか?」というストレートな問いから始まるこの動画、思わず見入ってしまった。
