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.

かつて英文を書く際は、Grammarlyという文法チェッカーを愛用していた。だが数年前、AI機能が大幅に導入されて以降、自分の文章が「誰が書いても同じになる無個性なテンプレ」へ誘導されている気がして、利用を控えるようになった。LinkedIn等でも、”innovative”とか”visionary”、”passionate leader”といった、似た形容詞が並ぶ定型文をよく目にする。AIが作った「完璧すぎるCV」をAIがジャッジするなんて、妙な時代になったものだ。

凹凸の少ないフローリングの部屋は、音を吸収するものがなく、壁や床で音が何度も反射してしまう。特にエネルギーの強いベース音は、部屋の角や壁際に溜まりやすい。見た目こそ洒落ているが、響きが「ライブすぎる」ため、リスニングならまだしも制作には全く不向きだ。今回突発的に思いついて、スピーカーのリアポート(背面の穴)に靴下を突っ込んでみた。この「ソックスチューニング」のおかげで、4畳半の和室のような、デッドで制作向きの音に仕上がった。

中学生の頃、当時人気のあった音楽雑誌に「たとえて言えばライオネル・リッチーは五木ひろし、ダイアナ・ロスは美空ひばり」という記事を見て、その比較の強引さに度肝を抜かれた。今考えると、それは単に「国民的人気歌手」だと言いたいだけで、音楽性やミュージシャンシップの話ではなかったと思う。 同様に、JBを北島三郎さんと並べるのもミスリーディングだ。ただし、いつ聴いても「まつり」の破壊力には畏れ入る。何か、のっけからスラップベース鳴ってない?
