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.

ただいまtatsuyaoe.comのテコ入れ作業中。情報の更新はしているけど、たまにPHPやWordPressのキャッチアップ作業が必要になる。自分が運営しているウェブサイトの中では最も古株のこのサイト、2002年に立ち上げた当初はDreamweaverでコツコツ更新していた。Findingsのページはその頃から存在していて、途中で長文形式になったけど、今は初期のフォーマットに戻った感じ。2002年はこんな曲を作ってました。

中国の水墨画家である牧谿の実物の作品は、まだ『漁村夕照図』(根津美術館)しか見たことがない。一番見たいのは大徳寺の『観音猿鶴図』だが、寺社が蔵する作品は、ふらりと訪れて眺められる類のものではないので、しばらくは写真で忍ぶほかない。長谷川等伯をはじめ、牧谿の影響を受けた日本の絵師は非常に多いのに、本国・中国では正当な評価を得られなかったという。そうしたことを意に介さぬような気配もまた、惹かれるところではある。

アルバムOE『Letting Go』の収録曲を、メドレー形式で10分ほどにまとめた動画を作りました。まずはこの動画で試聴いただき、その後は各サービスでアルバム全体を楽んでいただけると嬉しいです。Model Electronic関連の動画を最初にアップすることにしているサービスVimeoは、地味ながらも「ラウドネスノーマライゼーション(音量調整)」のような余計なガバナンスを行わず、広告収益にも執着しない、今どき珍しいクリエイター想いの風土があります。
