MURCOF

COSMOS

LEAF LABEL

3LP/CD

(OCTOBER 2007)

Murcof’s long-awaited third album marks a dramatic departure from previous works.

It’s a move away from the micro-programmed sound Murcof (real name Fernando Corona) helped to pioneer, and his seamless integration of these apparently opposed forms is almost unprecedented.

Truly monumental in scale, ‘Cosmos’ is composed almost entirely of recordings of classical instruments, a process which Fernando Corona describes as “expanding the possibilities of acoustic instruments through electronics”.

Comprised of six massive instrumental compositions inspired by his new-found love of astronomy, this is without doubt Fernando Corona’s best work yet – especially with the volume up!
