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)

ただいまtatsuyaoe.comのテコ入れ作業中。情報の更新はしているけど、たまにPHPやWordPressのキャッチアップ作業が必要になる。自分が運営しているウェブサイトの中では最も古株のこのサイト、2002年に立ち上げた当初はDreamweaverでコツコツ更新していた。Findingsのページはその頃から存在していて、途中で長文形式になったけど、今は初期のフォーマットに戻った感じ。2002年はこんな曲を作ってました。

中国の水墨画家である牧谿の実物の作品は、まだ『漁村夕照図』(根津美術館)しか見たことがない。一番見たいのは大徳寺の『観音猿鶴図』だが、寺社が蔵する作品は、ふらりと訪れて眺められる類のものではないので、しばらくは写真で忍ぶほかない。長谷川等伯をはじめ、牧谿の影響を受けた日本の絵師は非常に多いのに、本国・中国では正当な評価を得られなかったという。そうしたことを意に介さぬような気配もまた、惹かれるところではある。

アルバムOE『Letting Go』の収録曲を、メドレー形式で10分ほどにまとめた動画を作りました。まずはこの動画で試聴いただき、その後は各サービスでアルバム全体を楽んでいただけると嬉しいです。Model Electronic関連の動画を最初にアップすることにしているサービスVimeoは、地味ながらも「ラウドネスノーマライゼーション(音量調整)」のような余計なガバナンスを行わず、広告収益にも執着しない、今どき珍しいクリエイター想いの風土があります。
