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.

一時期、エピクテトスの言葉に深く感動して読み耽っていたけれど、今はそのドライすぎる視点に「もう少し夢を見てもいいんじゃない?」と感じる部分がある。奴隷という過酷な境遇にいた彼には必要な強さだったのかもしれないが、その哲学を突き詰めると「宝くじが当たっても外れても、僕の幸福には無関係だ」なんて言う、寂しい人になってしまいそう。さて、そろそろ創作に本腰を入れたいので、マイクロブログはしばらく不定期更新とさせていただきます!

創作の範囲が驚くほど多岐に渡るゲーテは、「過去を振り返って反省する」タイプではなく、「今の自分を作品に叩きつけたら、すぐさま次の新しい自己へ脱皮する」タイプだった。書くこと、創ることは自己成長の手段であるという、彼の姿勢には強く同感する。自作への評価は光栄だが、僕にとって過去作は「当時の内なる声を形にした、全力の結晶」のようなもの。常に脱皮し、「今の内なる声」を追い求めていたい。

トランプのSNS投稿という、現代社会で最も信じてはいけないものに世界中が右往左往している。だが、これはもはや彼だけのせいではない。それに過剰反応する側の責任も大きい。彼の投稿をソースにコピペ記事を書く輩を「ジャーナリスト」と呼び、その一喜一憂にレバレッジをかけてギャンブルに励む輩を「投資家」と呼ぶのは、さすがに劣化しすぎだろう。と、そんな「どうでもいい現象」について、わざわざ時間を割いて書いている自分も、過剰反応なのか(笑)
