Gig Soup - Dark Model Saga

We have continued to have reviews on “Saga” from news and music websites such as The 405, Beat Dot Media, and Gig Soup. Following the vol.1, we would like to provide the excerpts from some of them here. We appreciate that these journalists and critics picked “Saga” and wrote the awesome articles.

“The record speaks on invincibility, it deals with the basic human desire to succeed and to be bulletproof, and with Saga, Dark Model is bulletproof.”

(Marie Flounoy, The 405)

“Oe is clearly a genius when it comes to music that shouldn’t work well together becoming something quite enjoyable and inspiring.”

(Jon Niles, Gig Soup Music, Originality:90/100, Content:91/100)

“You’ve watched epic sagas on the big screen with songs that played in the background as the hero saved the girl or the good guys battled to save the lives of everyone. You’ve felt that power, and that power is something you can feel when you listen to Dark Model. It’s like an epic adventure for your ears.”

(Yvonne Glasgow, Beat Dot Media)

“Listening to “Saga,” Dark Model’s sophomore release, I felt like I was simultaneously being pulled back into the past and catapulted into the future.”

(Chris Kompanek, The Huffington Post)

“On “Saga,” fans of both orchestral music and dance floor anthems will unite as this album does a masterful job at combining both genres seamlessly together. At times, there will be an epic, over-the-top choir that is filled with intense emotions and at other times, the pulsating beats will have the listener swaying to the infectious rhythms.”

(Isiah Reyes, Enter The Venture)

After Effectsを使って凝ったエフェクトを作ろうとすると「エクスプレッション」の理解が欠かせないが、ざっくり派の僕はスクリプト系の学習に時間を割くのが苦手。JavaScriptも20年近く触っている割に未だに使うのが億劫だし、Flashで日替わりブログを作った時はActionScript(懐かしい)とPHPの連動で苦労した。ただ、色々プログラムやアプリを触ってきたお陰で、音楽とテクノロジーに関しては、試行錯誤自体も楽しみの一つではある。

少し前に僕の曲が使われたチリのテレビ番組を紹介したが、チリで人気の番組といえば「31 Minutos(31分)」。結構毒のあるユーモアを含んだ、パペットを使った教育番組。日本にも人形劇やユーモアの効いた良質な子供番組はあると思うけど、決定的に違うのが音楽。どちらが良し悪しの問題ではないにしても、なぜ日本で生まれ育った自分がこういうファンキーでリズミックな音楽の方がしっくりきてしまうのか、今更ながら不思議に思う時がある

このウェブサイトのトップページに埋め込んだビデオのスタイルを変更しました。これまでは、Vimeo にアップロードした動画を時間帯ごとにいくつかの種類をローテーションで表示していましたが、今後は YouTube からの動画を使用し、パソコン版では横長の動画を、スマホ版ではショート動画をランダムに再生するようにしました。トップページが更新される度に、違った動画を楽しんでいただけると思います!
