A new suite of music composed by the esteemed
Mexican electronic composer Murcof whose
distinctive hybrid of brooding electronics and
classical sound sources is enriched by live
strings and brass in a synchronised visual
environment. This special commission allows Murcof
to find full integration between all the elements
in his sound, whether acoustic, analogue or
digital. Strings, pixelations, brass, digital
sweeps and video beams become a single whole in
this new audiovisual composition. Collaborating
with a viola, cellist and trombone players from
Spanish classical ensemble Bcn216, Murcof will
allow the unique qualities of acoustic instruments
to mix with microbeats and vast digital
atmospherics, letting tracks shift and mutate in a
minimal environment. This will be an immersive
experience.
