Dark Model - Storm Goddess on Ellenwood-EP

Thankfully, we have got more reviews on Dark Model’s new album “Saga” from news and music websites. Today we would like to introduce the latest three articles from Music-News.com, M.I.R.P, and Ellenwood EP.

“Saga is a brilliant, visual-inspiring composition by an electronic master. It takes you on a thrilling adventure with danger, mystery, and majesty all while using modern techno to amp up the adrenaline. If you’re looking for more out of electronic music than five-second loops and bass drops, dig into Dark Model. There’s a whole other universe to explore.”

(Jon C. Ireson, Music-News.com)

Music-News.com is a UK-based leading music publisher who is also called as “the BBC of the music industry.” We appreciate Mr.Ireson’s thought-provoking analysis on the musical jargon “epic, ” which is worth reading, and his detailed review on “Saga.”

Music News.com - Dark Model - Saga review

“Oe absolutely got it right with ‘Saga.’ The beauty of this release is undeniable, the musicianship is stellar, and the conceptualization and composition is exquisite. Throughout, there is foreplay, buildup, climax, and then calm. ‘Saga’ is a universal work of art that will no doubt be universally enjoyed; it has no country, no ethnicity, no age, no era, no genre.”

(Susie9mm, M.I.R.P 411)

M.I.R.P 411 (Music-Interviews-Reviews-Photos) is a music news & review website in the US. We appreciate that Susie9mm, who is the author of the article, chose “Saga” and wrote the very creative, track-by-track review.

MIRP - Dark Model - Saga review

“Saga is a great album for classical listeners who would love a more modern bent as well as indie and electronic fans who enjoy the drama and intensity of classical suites.”

(Layla Marino, Ellenwood EP)

Ellenwood is a popular Los Angeles-based online music magazine. We would like to give big thanks to the author Layla Marino for reviewing the track “Storm Goddess” in detail.

“The song (“Storm Goddess”) opens with powerful snares and violins, produced in such a way that the listener will have a hard time figuring out what parts of the piece were done by performers and what parts are digital. This is especially true with the drums, which though they are one in a techno breakbeat style, truly sound like they could be being played by a highly skilled drummer.”

We have just published “Storm Goddess” on Dark Model Facebook page. Hope you enjoy the music.

映画『ボビー・フィッシャーを探して』のモデルの天才チェス少年で、その後太極拳からフォイリング(通称「飛ぶヨット」)までを極める「上達の達人」ジョシュ・ウェイツキンは、自身の体調管理のためにHRV(心拍変動)を常に測定していると聞いた。僕も前から興味があったのだが、成人してこのかた腕時計すら殆どしたことのない僕はスマートウォッチを腕に装着するのに抵抗があった。ついに重い腰を上げて1つ手に入れたのだけど、これ着けて寝られるかな…。

「言語化」ばかりがもてはやされる風潮には少し抵抗がある。英語圏の音楽ライセンス業界では、ずっと前から「自分の曲を言語化し、検索できるキーワードや説明に落とし込む力」が必須のスキルだった。知らない単語を覚えたことは勉強になったが、「耳で楽しむものを文字にするほど野暮なことはない」という思いは今も強い。僕は絵心がないので、言語化よりも、伝えたいことや相手から聞いた情報を的確に絵にできる「視覚化能力(描写力)」がもっと欲しい。

次の作品をどうまとめようか思案中。久々に歌物を作りたいと思って数十曲スケッチを作ったのだけど、歌詞とヴォーカルをどうしようかと考え出すと途端に手が止まる。実は、僕は大の音楽好きの割に、言語を問わず、歌詞に注目して深く浸る事はあまりない。でも、中身のない言葉が載った曲は、言語を問わず、耐えられない(笑)。1971年の言葉が、2026年の今、色あせるどころか、むしろこれまでになく切実なリアリティを持って鳴り響く。
