"Listen to it and you're immersed in a world of deep reverberations that seem to come from a distant underwater cathedral. This is mesmerizing." The Guardian
Murcof is a very modern composer, who utilizes technology to make epic, moving suites of music that move the mind and heart. Founded on abstract, glitchy, sometimes complex electronic percussion, his sparse, minimalist electronica draws from baroque and 20th Century art music. In this concert he collaborates with one of classical music's rising stars, pianist Francesco Tristano, who has repeatedly sought encounters outside the concert hall, performing with techno pioneers Carl Craig and Moritz von Oswald.
The performance is a unique and moving blend of acoustic improvisation and electronic processing that feels entirely integrated. Francesco's deft touches seem to evolve freely, splashing the sound field with chromatic colour and propulsive percussive textures, and intermingle with Murcof's monolithic drones, heavy sub-bass and veiled melodies. There is a sense of brooding melancholy and limitlessness that absorbs the listener, touching on themes of life, death and eternity.
