Samples


"Maru has back with his second fulllenth on his Japanese ideology oriented chmafu nocords. His eclectic unpredictable sound that u can find on his first full lenth and on his many compilation appearances is here too. You can not allow yourself to expect some particular sound on patience. Thats why it is called patience. You have to be patient just listen and let the sounds drive your thoughts thru unknown vast spaces of your subconsciousness. There u will find fear, death, irrationality, chaos and all that ideas that you are frighten to admit to yourself. This album can be also seen as a soundtrack. Soundtrack of scariest days of your live. when u r passing thru period of paranoia. Not a horror movie but a horror reality. Mixed minds, confusion, irrational thoughts. everything is here.
from the other perspective u can see this release as a step forward in marufura fufunjirus music. It is quiet consistent in sound, without rhythm and totally abstract. From ambiental soundscapes through noisy parcels to incomprehensible undentified glitchy distant radio frequencies. You can also find some vocal sample marks which task is just to remind u where are you: ' maybe he should be taken to a doctor'.
Design of the release (which is work of maru itself) is very nice and u can also find it with different alternative cover design. Also a remix variant of patience with very provocative artists will follow.
Get ready for total eclipse of your mind."

Review by Fakezine


"Horror noise rears its ugly bubbling head , this time in the incarnation of Marufura Fufunjiru .I can't really tell if the guy behind this release is Japanese or just a wannabe that actually eats his cereal in Graz , Austria , but i wouldn't be surprise if it's actually the same guy who runs the "Non Profit" (yeah , right) small label of Chmafo Nocords. Anyhow , although geographical location has its' importance , we'll focus here on the music ,
so your guess is good as mine.

This is music that will make you confused , that's the only thing i'm sure of. Your head will spin like you've just been hit in a seductive car accident a la "Crash" by J.G Ballard. This is a sure prescription for an ear hemorrhage , expect constant bleeding through listening to the entire album. Marufura Fufunjiru loads layers over layers of shrieking white buzzing noises and he never gets tired or fed up , nor my ears , who are more than curious to hear what kind of noize he's gonna abuse next , what horrific samples (like on "Bath") we'll stretch the tension to a new level of boiling insanity and how come he's allowing himself to joke around with a surprisingly melodic tune all of a sudden and goofy vocals on "Dhrugetsute" before it goes berzerk ? .once again , your guess is good as mine , but this is pretty good stuff."

Morning Star Verses
"Marufura Fufunjiru is based in Graz, Austria, but he actually was born on planet Venus. In his newest work, “Patience”, this artist presents what on his planet is
called poetry. In 72 minutes one can hear a traditional Venusian soirée of 17 pieces that are typical sonnets, ballads, songs, hymns, odes and elegias from one of the brightest planets of our solar system.
On some of them, like for example on the track “It Loud” there are even sampled human voices that are obtained from radio and films.
If the sound of the Venusian language is unintelligible to you, the album may sound like a refined mixture of post-industrial, concrete, electroacoustic and ambient music. But the Venusian metrics are much more complex than simple sound drawings and sculptures that would be meaningful to the human ear. On “Patience”, each verse is measured in degrees of uncertainty so that each poem is a combination and an arrangement of random alphanumeric variables. This results in uncountable phrases in Venusian language and to us, humans, chromo-textural noises that satisfy the desirous ears by the best avant-garde music.
Visit chmafu nocords at http://nocords.net and acquire maru's albums “Patience” and “Almost” as both are very rich anthologies of the poetic art from the Morning Star."

Review by N0-age

"Deep sea cyborg whales and dolphins lazily, druggedly signal each other ... immediately adrift, one's ears are the path to the soul snagged by the siren of sound manipulation ... 
lullingness gives way to soft sounds of pain, if torture was muddled, relaxed, designed for your chillout ... is some gremlin vocalizing while time distorts down to slow around utterances of pain ...
one slowly becomes aware of the feel of life in all its forms coming to you distorted through a veil of soft static atmosphere ...
strange and interesting drifts of texture, some recognizable in a warp of its former earth life, some a soundscape of interdimensional noise transfer. Subdued but intimidating at times."
