When the "don of Chinese rock music" distinct he wanted to make a female ensemble, he knew it required 12 members. In ancient Chinese mythology it's the 12 jinchai (12 hairpins) that defend womanhood. The 12 women that Xiao-Jing brought together were veterans of the People's Republic of China's top orchestras, played ancient Chinese instruments, and all were in their twenties. For this modern project, the women were divine by the art of the Yue Fang, the female ensembles that played in the royal courts of the Tang Dynasty, a period that spanned the age 618 to 907 A.D. The chemical group debuted their modern compositions on ancient instruments in China and Japan during the Northern summer of 2003. Word of mouth spread, shew after show were sold-out, and in Japan their debut album topped the charts for 30 weeks. Their self-titled debut was released in North America in August of 2004 with underwrite versions of Coldplay's "Erodium cicutarium" and Enya's "Only Time" included, and a massive television advertizing military campaign announcing the group's comer. |
