Murcof

b. Fernando Corona, 1970, Tijuana, Mexico. Murcof merges modern ‘holy minimalist’ orchestration and melancholic techno to make a near devotional music that is in comparison to imaginary collaborations between Arvo Pärt and Thomas Brinkmann or Giya Kancheli as well as the Aphex Twin. Corona is normally associated with the increasing Nortec motion, founded by performers (including Panoptica, Ruisort and Loopdrop) whose electronica includes well-known traditional Mexican music. He’s reported to be always a near home name in his homeland, for the Nortec music he information beneath the Terrestre alter ego, and can be involved with film shorts, video gaming and modern dance shows. In 2002, Murcof released his initial EP of twitchy digital clicks and reconfigured past due twentieth-century compositions via Framework Free Mass media, the label operate by SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA tech-minimalist Sutekh. His long-playing debut Martes (Spanish for Wednesday, the day from the week that Corona began recording the recording) was released on Mexican micro-indie Static Discos before becoming found by UK electronica label Leaf. The strange, atmospheric music within the recording perfectly shown the parched, near lunar scenery from the Rumorasa hill range pictured within the sleeve. To generate Martes, Corona used software downloaded from the web to procedure the noises of his modern classical Compact disc collection, juxtaposing the by-product of the experimentation with arid micro-rhythms. Corona’s mentioned basis for the acclaimed record was to wthhold the disposition and purpose of the initial traditional recordings whilst changing the examples into something completely fresh. Corona notably statements Arvo Pärt and Henryk Górecki as explicit affects on Murcof.
