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.

年齢を重ねるほど好奇心が広がり、学びたいことが増えて忙しくなる。日々の制作に加えて勉強したいことが山積み。だが、そこに焦りはない。制作に1000時間かかるアルバムを100時間で完成できても、そこに楽しさはないのと同じだ。自発的な学びや創作の醍醐味は「過程」にあり、効率やタイパとは全く次元が異なる。やってもやっても終わらない感覚。それは時間が足りない焦りではなく、「終わりなき充実感」の中にいるということだと思う。

Carol Robbinsというハープ奏者が演奏するインスト「Caminhos Cruzados」を聴いていて、タイトル(ポルトガル語で「十字路」)からして、以前どこかで聴いたことがある曲だと思っていたものの、調べるまでには至らなかった。先日、何気なく検索してみたら、トム・ジョビン作曲の超有名曲で、しかも大学時代に毎晩リピートして聴いていたジョアン・ジルベルトのアルバムに収録されていたのだった。もうこれで一生忘れない(笑)。

テクノロジーは常に「レイジー」と「クリエイティブ」の選択を迫る。 思考や感情をAIに丸投げして「楽をする」アプローチと、アイデアの「着想の種」として使い、編集や意図を人間が責任を持ってコントロールするアプローチは全く異なる。「今や誰もがスタジオでAIを使っている」というグラミー賞のエグゼクティブのコメントが引用されているが、もしそれがレイジーな使い方ばかりなのだとしたら、問題なのは技術ではなく使い手の姿勢や業界の文化だろう。
