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.

一見難解だったり複雑に聞こえない音楽でも、プレイヤーたちの超絶的な技巧やセンスがそこに深みを与えていることはよくある。僕はバカテク系の音楽やミュージシャンには興味がない代わりに、その手の「深み・旨味系プレイヤー」(そんな言葉ないか、笑)の演奏には魅了される。ゴスペルアーティストKirk Franklinを支えるベーシストMatt Ramseyと、Snarky Puppyのメンバーでもあった故Shaun Martinのコンビは、まさに旨味系。

セールスに関するポッドキャスターが「何でもかんでもリバースエンジニアリング(RE)できると思う傾向には反対だ。人間関係や信頼が解析できないように、どんなに営業ツールやAIが進化してもセールスも解析できない」と主張していたのが印象に残った。音楽の世界でも、人の好みをRE的に解析する「推薦システム」が当たり前に使われているが、アルゴリズムやAIの薦めるものには当然限界や不自然さがあり、その違和感を感じられることこそ人間らしさだと思う。

12/8拍子、いわゆる「シャッフル」と呼ばれるリズムは、長い歴史を持つ。僕はよく使うけれど、エレクトロニックミュージックの世界では、「4つ打ち」のようにどこでも聴けて誰もが使うリズムではない。でも、昨日紹介した曲のように3連符の感覚を取り入れたリズムこそ、欧米と非欧米の世界を繋ぐカギが隠されているのではないかと思ったりもする。もしガーナのエウェ族の12/8拍子&ポリリズムを大きなフェス会場で奏でたら、どんなDJも勝てないだろう。
