Does anyone have anything by Art Marju Duchain? I've been looking for their stuff for ages and had no luck. :( They're a kind of goth-techno band (apparently....) and I was interested to hear...... 😌
 
here's some stuff i found :-)


Art marju duchain was created in 1995 by Kai in Osaka. While in Osaka he met Mana who became a big influence to Kai.
The first round of Art Marju Duchain didn't stay around for very long so Kai travelled to Tokyo in search of new members.These were: Miyabi on vocals, Meila on bass, and Yuzuru on guitar. Unfortunately Miyabi and Meila left leaving 3 members still standing:Kai Yuzuru and a new bassist Ryu. There are now hopes of the baind becoming mainstream but there are fears concerning there extreme gothic look. they're classed as j-goth instead of jrock because they've never really fitted comfortably into the jrock categorie.
AMD mainly use voice fx and keyboard, but the guitar plays a big part in their music too.
Their first album is called Demon est deus inversus but it is on ly a short album.
track 1 : Heidiz
track 2: Demon est deus inversus
track 3: Dark icon symphony
track 4: Death of the virgin
track 5: Whispering your death

there you go kinsao :)

Hello again! I'm glad this got popped back onto the first page... lol. Thanks again for your generosity :-) Yeah, I liked the songs... In fact, a bit different from my usual listening, but I thought that was good, to change my listening a little. Enjoyed! I think I liked Heidiz best... *tries to remember properly* :p I still look places for more songs, so if I find any, I will share them on here. 😌

i found a review

That all those which believe that Japan is only Sushi, high technology and plays vidƩos are undeceived, the country of the raising sun shelters also one of the best gothic/death-rock'n'roll groups of these ten last years, and I weigh my words, the music which Art Marju Duchain plays is of an exceptional quality, and an originality to make fade jealousy the heads of poster of the moment. This album, timeless and Ɠ how much mystical a key of innovation in a current scene goth brings resting a little too much on its bay-trees. The disc starts on a dark intro with wishes, fills up new sounds, in which the tablecloths of keyboards irremediably plunge us at the bottom of the pit, the fear with the belly, and the irresistible desire and masochist to discover some always more. What is made with the second piece, carrying the name of the album, and in which the voice of Kai appears, a voice very right exit of another universe, of another time, a voice if not very common in the Gothic landscape. Because if the effects are there for something, it jumps to the eyes that something of supernatural is released from its vocal cords. Occurs then Dark Icon Symphony, its musical flights, its romantic keyboards all carefully, its melodies, and this voice, always this voice, which guides us through the meanders of this so beautiful music. It is thought whereas one has just reached the climax of the album, when Death Of The Virgin appears. The percussions enter in scene, for then yielding the place to the keyboards, one think then in a temple, fill up of an odor enivrante of incense. Suddenly, very stops, a melody of guitar arrives, going always more quickly, the inimitable voice of Kai settles then with the top of what already seems to be a monument of the Gothic music. This album, with the image of this piece is of a perfection seldom equalized in the current scene dark, a chief of?uvre mystical to the multiple facets and impregnated with a soft Asian savour. Only and single negative point comes from the duration of the disc, after about thirty minutes, one in redemande still and still...

interview

Can be whether you represented as group, which does use elements of the genre of horrors?
Kai: 4 I do not see everything precisely so, but since I love films about the vampires and cold wave, and since in the beginning I created the group, which it was differed from usual fate, I think, which partially is possible with this characteristic to agree. In fact, when we read forms [ them fill after concert ], it is possible to frequently meet the commentary: "you us they frightened ".

Yes, Kai, you frighten!
Kai: What, truth? My policy according to the relation to itself - "when I should leave the house, 4 I am colored ", but this does not mean that 4 always I walk painted to such an extent.

Obviously, if we tell in musical language, you does approach determination "Gothic music"?
Kai: It is possible to say that precisely this album it is Gothic oriented. Of melodies are different, but very essence it is true of gotichna! It is made precisely in this key.

Kai, as you they did describe Gothics?
Kai: This something the deeply mystical, closed and gloomy. It would be possible to say that this it is similar to the church lying at the ruins. This - the genre of things. Moreover since 4 I am interested in magic, I also connect Gothics and with it.

You did not use the elements of the Gothics, when they did begin, this thus?
Kai: Yes, this arrived not so long ago. To the the recent of time we were by usual indie- group. But in beginning itself I began precisely with the the Gothic music, and I returned to this. For a long time 4 loved Christian Death and Bauhaus, then I rolled up s road to side indies, and recently it returned k to the ultimate source.

You place on the concerts credence, you extend to the scene fragrancy, you ignite spark plugs... Everything as for some of ceremony?
Kai: In the beginning of our previous concert 4 it guessed on the maps for the spectators. And all maps they lay unsuccessfully (it laughs). But 4 I will not say to you, which there fell out.
Ryu: Personally 4 as recently arrived into the group, it was introduced to it precisely as spectator and it thought then that in Japan there is no group, by similar this. Many people come us to see, I think, this means that they search for specifically, this group.

Credi those people, which come on you to look, they were any amusing reactions?
Kai: At that moment, when curtain rises, people with the curiosity look at the scene. And I can feel, as it grows them attention. On the concert in Nagoye I left on scene with the effigy crow on the arm. I heard, as halls it is discussed: "o! This present of crows?"I when I placed crow, and they understood that it artificial, they directed the objectives of their cameras to it. But as 4?! (it laughs) But since 4 he would want to always arrange surprises, this shows well this genre, as the genre of things.

What you want to transmit s by aid Art Marju Duchain?
Kai: 4 beginnings from the fact that I want to show that, which separates me. I speak about that shock, which felt through all aspects this music and Gothics, in the broad sense, s by these in a word Art, which has very symbolic value. 4 he would want also to force people to think about the fact that such our peace... Us they frequently designate as the group black magic, however, 4 it did not want, in order to they stopped on this surface to the point of view, and so that they would move further, k to deeper sense.
Ryu: I think that the majority of groups tested the influence of western music with their Gothic by groups cold wave, but Art Marju Duchain overcame these influences developed their own originality. This that that you were must to understand, after listening to mini- album.

They thought whether you about becoming major?
Kai: But, major... It sounds well! This will occur, if they will support us. But who will be this to make?

It's good that there are still people coming up for this band, 'cause they're not that popular these days... (X___x)

Haha, La_dix_Croix : It seems I see you everywhere XDDD
