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.

感情を鍵盤に叩きつけるような、パーカッシブで荒っぽいピアノが大好きだ。ジャズならマッコイ・タイナー、そしてインディロックではベン・フォールズの演奏を時々猛烈に聴きたくなる。ピアノに限らず僕は、正確さよりもダイナミックさに惹かれるところがある。大学に入りたての頃、ファンカデリックのようなバンドをやりたくて幾つか音楽サークルを訪問したら、ユーミンのカバーをしていた上級生が「君、ピッキングが荒いね」。大学で音楽仲間を探すのはお門違いだった(笑)。

(2/2) そして、その「(一神教的な文明にある)西洋人が最も難解に感じる世界」は、実は我々東洋人にとってはこうした難解な本を読まずとも「さらっと肌で感じられる」世界だったりする。彼が「無門関」など、禅の公案をいくつも紹介しているのは決して偶然ではない。僕も日々LLMを活用しているが、「言語化の自己ループ」を飛び出て「不思議の環」に到達する人間の知能は、AIが設計する知能とは全く違うということを忘れずに、AIと向き合いたい。

(1/2) その昔「だまし絵」のエッシャーについて書かれた本を色々読んだ時期があった。『ゲーデル、エッシャー、バッハ―あるいは不思議の環』は今でも読み継がれている名著で、現在のAIの設計にも影響を与えたであろう「自己言及」について深堀りしている。ただ、著者が本当に模索していたのは、ここでは説明しきれていない(そして今のAI開発者が見落としがちな)『非言語的な混沌(カオス)の世界』に対する人間の認知の仕組みではなかったかと思う。
