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.

「(広告や商業)デザインは自分を消すことだ」という意見があると聞く。僕の生業では、表現から自分を消したら終わり。ただ、万が一その手の仕事をするならば、商品やサービスを実際に使う生活者(エンドユーザー)にとってその表現が「善かどうか」で判断したい。現実的にはお金を払うクライアントがOKを出してくれれば仕事として成立するが、課題を解決し、本当にハッピーにしなければいけない相手はその先にいる。「自分問題」はそもそも課題の次元にはない。

阪神・淡路大震災から31年。あの日、仕事場へ着くと皆がテレビに釘付けで、画面越しに戦慄が走った。1月17日の早朝に地震が発生してから、実家と連絡がついたのは数日後の夜だったと記憶している。両親は家具の下敷きになりかけながらも無事だった。東京にいた僕は安否を案じることしかできなかったが、震災はその後の自分の生き方を確実に変えた。
