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.

今から22、3年前、モーリー・ロバートソンさんの自宅で EMS Synthi A というスーツケース型シンセの実物を初めて見た。その後、新宿のリキッドルームで爆音ノイズのコラボ・ライブをさせていただいたことを思い出す。僕が日本を離れた後、モーリーさんの博識と洞察力、そして温厚な人柄が広くお茶の間に浸透し、その多才ぶりがさらに開花していくさまを頼もしく思っていた。心よりご冥福をお祈りします。

日々の業務でAIChatは色々と使っているが、音楽制作のアイデア出しや作曲ツールとして使うことはない。僕が惹かれるコードの響きやリズムのシンコペーション、「間」の取り方、そして展開の予測不能さは、AIが目指している方向とはまったく異なるし、AIにアドバイスされるのも困る(笑)。これは老子の言う「無用の用」なのかもしれない。役に立たない(=AIが「攻略できる」と興味を示さない)ものこそ、侵食されずに生き延びるということ。

アメリカにいると特に、「価格」と「価値」は全く別物だということを思い知らされる。このコラムにもあるように、もはや古典的なミクロ経済学の概念は殆ど意味をなさない。だが音楽ビジネスがさらに絶望的なのは、作り手側から「価格決定権」が完全に剥奪されてしまったことだ。プラットフォームやテック企業を非難するのはたやすいが、音楽業界側の脇の甘さと怠慢が招いた、「知恵比べの敗北」であることは否定できない。
