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.

僕がプロとして音楽を始めた頃、ダンスミュージックの魅力の一つに「匿名性の面白さ」があった。DJがスピンする曲で盛り上がっていても、どの国の誰の曲か分からないし、そんなことに関心を持つ気配もない。DJブースの場所や、誰がプレイしているのかすら分からないこともあった。その晩のヒーロー/主役はDJではなく(グルーヴや音の響き、ストーリーなど、すべてを含めて)「音」。Ron TrentのDJは、そんな純度の高い音楽体験を提供し続けている。

最近のUK/USインディ・レーベルの音をチェックしていると、「インディ」とは思えないほど、新人でも随分豪華なミュージックビデオ(MV)を作っている。複数のAIに「販促・宣伝費はどうやって捻出するの?」と聞いたところ、「実質的にはアーティストがレーベルにローン(前借り)する形です。アーティストは“リスクは最初に負い、報酬は最後に得る存在”なのです」と返ってきた。そうした世界とは無縁に、音楽業を30年、レーベルを20年続けてこられたことは奇跡かもしれない。

人間は物語を自分本位に紡いでしまう性質がある。それが時に独善となり、自分を苦しめる。ヴィクトール・フランクルの説く「生きる意味」が、いつしか自分を縛る「執着(べき論)」に変貌する瞬間だ。ここでアルバート・エリスは「その解釈は認知的にゆがんでいないか? 自分を助ける考えか?」と自問し、主観の暴走を食い止めることを提唱する。フランクルとエリスは対照的に見えて、実は「解釈という刃」を使いこなすための、表裏一体の考え方だと思う。
