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「Rakuen」という曲は、2019年リリースの『Oceans』に収録されているが、最初のバージョンを作ったのはそのずっと前、OE『Director’s Cut』を制作していた頃だったと思う。曲の雰囲気の通り南の島をイメージして作ったのだけれど、当時実際に行ったことのある島は沖縄くらいだった。その後、常夏の島で暮らしてみた後でこの曲を聴くと、頭に浮かぶ映像が俄然リアルなものになった。年中半袖&短パン生活を目指して、今日も頑張るか(笑)。

『ピクサーの裏側』という記録映像を観た。脚本や衣装など、専任の担当者が作った雛形に対し全参加者が意見を出し、それが原案よりも良ければ即座に採用・修正される、徹底的に民主主義的なチームワークが貫かれていて驚く。「最大公約数的なベスト」を追求するのはピクサーの真骨頂だが、近年のディズニー周辺のクリエイションの傾向として「“正しく”作らねばならない」という道徳的/倫理的な規律が強くなりすぎて、現場が窒息しないか心配も少々。

自律神経とホルモン。日常でよく耳にする言葉だが、専門家ですらその「仕組みの違い」は理解していても、「どちらが原因か」を特定するのは極めて難しいという。ところで、テストステロンは誤解されがちな「攻撃のスイッチ」ではなく、年齢や性別を問わず、自分が属する場所で「いかに価値ある存在であり続けるか」を支える、極めて“社会的なホルモン”らしい。「自分らしく、社会の中で価値を感じて生きる」ことは、誰にとっても大切なことだと思う。
