Murcof is the performing and recording name of Mexican electronica artist Fernando Corona (born 1970 in Tijuana, Mexico, lives in Barcelona, Spain, since 2006). From 1999 to 2002 he was a member of the Tijuana-based Nortec Collective of electronic musicians and artists under the Terrestre project name.
Murcof's music is sparse, minimalist, electronica. Many of his compositions are founded on abstract, glitchy, sometimes complex electronic percussion, derived mostly from minimal techno, dub, glitch, industrial music and IDM, and are often aligned around a 4/4 beat. 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.
