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.

EW&Fというバンドを偉大にしたのは、親方であるモーリス・ホワイトの壮大なビジョンや統率力によるところが大きい。けれど音楽的には、弟ヴァーディンのベースアレンジが大きく貢献しているように思う。 彼のスタイルはいわゆるファンク特有のシンコペーションの反復ではなく、むしろポール・マッカートニーやモータウン的なランニングベース、あるいは対位法的なアプローチの応用に聴こえる。…と思ったら、インタビューで本人がまさにそう語っていた(笑)。

手軽に陶芸気分を味わえる素材として「オーブン陶土」というものがあるが、海外では「ポリマークレイ」という素材が圧倒的に主流。しかし仕上がりは樹脂っぽくて、目指す方向性も質感も全くの別物。100均などでも買えるこのオーブン陶土は、陶芸文化が身近にある日本だからこそ生まれた、本当にユニークで素晴らしいクラフト素材だと思う。とは言え、造形に関しては今のところ、自分で作るよりも達人が作るプロセスを動画で眺める方が楽しい。

先日の話の続き。僕は「価値が価格を生むのであって、逆はない」と思う。価格(お金)は価値の引換券でしかない。それが今は「価格が価格を生み、吊り上げる」だけで、誰もその背後にある意味を直視しようとしない。「インフレ」や「デフレ」という都合の良いラベルは、その本質を問う重みを失わせる。さらに言えば、世の中には「価格化されていない価値」が山ほどある。数字や統計も、現実を切り取った不完全な影絵に過ぎないのだ。
