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.

ジェームズ・クリアーは「環境は習慣を作る”見えない手”だ」と言い、自制心の強い人は、実は「自制心を使わなくても済む仕掛け/仕組み/ルーティーン」を作るのが上手い人のことだと説いた。離れた部屋で眠るギターを手に取るには強い意志が要るが、視界に入る場所に置かれたギターには、自然に手が伸びる。成長のための負荷を「良い摩擦」として残し、目的達成や成長を留まらせる「悪い摩擦」を減らす。仕組みや環境を見直し、アップデートしていこう。

「やる気」は過大評価されている。より大事なのは「環境作り」の方だ。 https://jamesclear.com/power-of-environment

ドキュメンタリー「イマジニアリング」を見て再確認できることは、テクノロジーはあくまで「手段」であり、クリエイティブこそがその「目的」であるという事実。 本来、表現したいものがあるからこそ技術は発展してきた。しかし、昨今は手段(テクノロジー)が目的(クリエイティブ・社会的意義)を飲み込んでしまっているようにも感じる。 だからこそ今、あえて「テクノロジーを使わないクリエイティブ」に宿る価値を、深く考える習慣を取り戻したい。

ディズニーのイマジニアや、マペット作家ジム・ヘンソンのドキュメンタリーを見たくて、これまで縁のなかったディズニー・プラスに入会してみた。「イマジニアリング〜夢を形にする人々」は、熱心なディズニーファンでなくても、ものづくりやクリエイティブなことに興味のある人なら見て損はしない内容だと思う。トレイラーを紹介したかったのだが、それよりも自分のショート動画を紹介したい衝動が勝るので(笑)、MER『Monkey Business』をお楽しみください。
