Murcof ??? The Versailles Sessions {Leaf}

Murcof is Fernando Corona from Barcelona, Spain via Corona, Mexico.?? Confused??? Relax, he???s a really cool underground electronic artist who constructs devastatingly subtle & dark layered soundscape textured electronica using percussion and samples.?? This is an amazing interim release designed specifically for & played at France???s Chateaux de Versailles for a killer festival in summer 2007 employing water, sound & light as mediums.?? Murcof enlisted Parisian musicians to play 17^th century Baroque instruments as well as a mezzo soprano female vocalist to compliment his cinematically ethereal & spooky experimental environments & occasional percussive moments.?? This is not so drastically different from the nether realms of gorgeous inky black scores he normally devises, however, this a sure step away from his glitchy beats & more rhythm based electronic sounds.?? His methods are mostly organic & acoustically performed over six mesmerizing pieces on this wickedly limited & delicious double vinyl LP.
