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.

この「Rambler and Canter」は、田舎道を散策し、ときに駆けるような牧歌的な風景をイメージして作った曲。最初『Here and You』(2002)に収録されたこの曲、『New Classics Vol.1』(2018)のリリースにあたり、リズムや音のメリハリを調整した。当初は乗馬の映像を合わせていたが印象が弱く、シンクロ感のあるパンチの効いた素材を探すうちに、なぜか米国小売チェーンのCM風ショート動画に変貌してしまった(笑)。

マレーシアのマハティール氏のドキュメンタリーを見た。あるアメリカ人の銀行家は彼を「トランプ的な独裁者」と評したが、「公の精神」の深さという点において、両者は全く性質が異なる。華人系とマレー系の格差是正に心血を注いだ元医者と、格差と分断を自らの支持基盤を熱狂させるための道具として利用しつつもTACOる元不動産屋。この差には、流石のマキアヴェリもフィレンツェの墓から「そこ、全然違うから!」と、鋭いツッコミを入れるに違いない。

先日紹介した糸川英夫氏の本で、なぜ彼が飛行機の設計に興味を持ったかが説明されていた。1927年にリンドバーグが飛行機での大西洋横断に成功した時、当時中学生だった糸川氏は彼に「太平洋はおまえが飛べ!」と言われた気がしたそうだ。人は自分で設定した目標が高いと挫折しやすいが、他人から頼まれた目標には(裏切れないという心理が働いて)使命感がより強くなるという。この「使命感をでっち上げる」という発想はぜひ参考にしたい。
