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.

海外の書店も似た状況だが、日本の書店に「発明」コーナーはない(図書館の方がまだ望みがある)。法律やビジネス書の棚には知財/IPや特許を語る士業の本が溢れているが、リスクを負い、無数の失敗を経て奇跡を生み出す「創造の張本人」は彼らではない。特に個人で発明やイノベーションに挑む人達の声は、驚くほど届かない。ドクター中松やアイデア主婦だけが発明ではないというのに、その真髄は棚の隙間に消えている。

日本の図書館には不思議な魅力がある。欧米の図書館は割と賑やかで「人々の知的な交流の場」的な佇まいのところが多いように思うが、日本ではむしろ日々の交流とは距離を置いた「一人空間」を求めてくる人が多い気がする。蔵書数が多くて、無料の貸出を徹底しているのも特徴だろう。国立国会図書館は好きな図書館の一つで、最近の僕のリリースが輸入盤扱いな中、Dark Model『Saga』(日本盤)が収集されていて驚いた。

僕の生まれた広島県は全国1位の移民送出県だという。それを今日知った(笑)。僕の曾祖父も20世紀初頭に家族で渡米したのだが、その事実を知ったのも割と最近だ。祖母の家にはMJBコーヒーの緑の缶やスパムの缶詰があり、僕によくパンケーキを焼いてくれた。幼稚園児にもなっていない当時は、そのハイカラさの背景など考えもしなかった。もっと詳しく知りたいと思った時には、事情を知る人はもういない。それが世の常なのだろう。
