It is in that time when they decided to name the band “Arian 1” after the French space program and rocket, which meant a great deal of always changing and evolving technology.
In the beginning, they experimented with different styles of electronic music which later (1993-94) were defined as “EBM” [electronic body music].
After a long break [2000 – 2006], “Arian 1” comes back in 2007 with a New Single [CD + DVD] called: “Machine Gun” with the help of Southamerican producers Eduardo Neira, Ivo Draganac & the Peruvian label “TDV”, also they presented a video clip for this release filmed in New York and Los Angeles Ca. (under film directors: Irina Garmash & Marco Ortiz).
The 2009 release was the “Evolution“ LP [Limited Edition] launched in June by the sponsor “Skyshield operations”. In fact some time before launch Eduardo´s invited Mariano López (ex “Vigilante” Keyboards) to Join the new line-up of the band.
The last 2010 release was “ Immersion” LP in this work they began and experimented with different styles in the electro music scene. then the band signed with Latin American label “Orion Records” and thanks to they started a new era in cooperation and distribution with the best and most influence alternative labels around the globe.
Now Arian 1 are probably best described as a bit harder Futurepop mixed with industrial sounds and some EBM. With easy, but yet very addictive melodies that easily stuck to your mind.
