Murcof & Simon Geilfus^MX+BE

Murcof, the moniker of Mexican electronic musician and composer Fernando Corona, is renowned for his sparse and minimalist electronic music. Born in 1970 in Tijuana, Mexico, and now based in Barcelona, Spain, Murcof's compositions are characterized by abstract, glitchy, and intricate electronic percussion. Drawing inspiration from modern classical music, musique concrète, holy minimalism, and baroque, his sound also integrates elements of ambient, drone, and Berlin school synthesizer music. Murcof has released numerous albums and EPs on labels such as The Leaf Label, Infine, Aagoo, and Glacial Movements. His collaborative projects span various disciplines, including notable works with jazz trumpet player Erik Truffaz and classical pianist Vanessa Wagner, reflecting his versatile and exploratory musical approach.
