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.

3月は事務作業が多く、音楽を浴びる時間が減る。散歩や運動中は語学番組やオーディオブックを聴くことが多く、音楽の出番が少ない。近く、音楽を聴きながら安全に歩ける運動公園の近くに引っ越す予定で楽しみだ。日本では自転車の交通違反が厳格化されるが、歩行者にとって、接近してくる自転車の動きや距離感が(自動車のそれと違って)どれだけ予測不能で、ランダムで怖いかを、運転者側に理解・想像させるのは絶望的に難しい。

昨年末に「今年はAIチャットによくお世話になった」と書いてまだ2か月だが、このところめっきり使う頻度が減り、サブスクもやめた。期待できる答えが返ってくる分野が意外と限られている(コーディングとか)ことが分かったので、それ以外のことを真剣に聞くだけ時間の無駄と思うようになったというのが近い。Redditとかでは「ChatGPT最近、マジでムカつくし、うざい」などと言われているが、機械相手に感情的になるくらいなら、電源を切って外に出よう。

大学生の頃に読んだマリー・シェーファーの『サウンド・エデュケーション』。彼が示した「サウンドスケープ(音の風景)」という概念は、音を取り巻く環境や生態系など「音との関係性」を問い直すきっかけをくれた。後に環境庁が「日本の音風景100選」を選定したが、収録音のチョイスやクオリティの素晴らしさはさておき、その実態は「音の風景」というよりも「風景の音(フィールドレコーディング)」に近い感じがした。ここに、あえてパルス音でも混ぜてみたい(笑)。
