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.

今月の Financial Timesで紹介されていた、各国の AI に対する印象を比較したグラフが印象に残っている。イプソスという調査会社のデータを図表化したものだったと思うが、日本は AI への不安も期待も、そして恩恵への実感も先進国で最下位だった。AI にユートピアもディストピアも感じない、というのは「バランス感覚がある」とするのか、「無批判・無抵抗(=お人好し)すぎる」のかは見方次第。ただ、Gemini は「ジェミナイ」と呼んでほしかったかな。

数か月前にウォーキングマシンを購入して以降、外の坂道ウォーキングの時間を半分に減らしている。そのお陰で足裏の調子は随分良いのだが、太陽の光を浴びる時間も半減してしまった。日照(メラトニン)不足対策としてLEDの室内灯を仕事中煌々と照らして使うのだが、6、7年使っているもののこれの効果はさっぱり分からない。で、いつも「常夏の島で毎日、太陽の下でランニングするのが一番」という、当たり前の結論に達する。

最近「糸川英夫」にハマっている。そう、あの小惑星「イトカワ(ITOKAWA)」の命名の元になったロケット研究者だ。ただ、糸川氏のことをロケット研究者と呼ぶには、彼の功績は多岐に渡りすぎていて、少し気が引ける。彼の著書は中古で1円から数百円で手に入るが、書かれている内容や発想の面白さはその何百倍もの価値がある。昔よくやっていた100円のレコード箱漁りと同じく、僕はそういう拾いものの本を探すのがメチャクチャ好き。
