Minimalist electronic music from inner space.
“In his work as Murcof, Fernando Corona has long shown a talent for drawing beauty out of bleakness” – PITCHFORK
Murcof is the performing and recording name of Mexican electronic musician Fernando Corona. Murcof’s music is sparse, minimalist electronic music. Many of his compositions are founded on abstract, glitchy, sometimes complex electronic percussion. Harmonic and melodic influences come from classical music (modern classical music, musique concrète, holy minimalism, micropolyphony, baroque music, etc.), ambient music, drone music, Berlin school synthesizer music, ethnic music and free improvisation. Rhythms are derived from minimal techno, dub, glitch, industrial music and IDM, and are often aligned around a 4/4 beat.
