Murcof sai alkunsa 2001 Fernando Coronan sooloprojektina. Meksikolainen Corona tutkii minimalistista ja klassista musiikkia sekä akustisen ja elektronisen äänen kohtauspisteitä. Elokuvamusiikista vaikutteita saanut Murcof esiintyy Aistissa Philippe Petit’n kanssa. Mm. ilmapalloja, keittiökoneita ja pyykkilautaa keikoillaan soittava Petit on kollaboroinut mm. Lydia Lunchin, Faustin, Eugene Robinsonin (Oxbow), Edward Ka-Spelin (Legendary Pink Dots), Kumon, Scott McCloudin (Girls Against Boys), James Johnstonin (Gallon Drunk/Bad Seeds/Faust) ja monen muun kanssa.

Murcof was founded in early 2001 as a solo project of Fernando Corona in Tijuana, Mexico. Murcof experiments with minimalist electronic and classical music, exploring how digital precision and acoustic warmth can complement each other. Murcof’s music is melodic, minimalist, and uses silence to fill his music with intense emotion.

Philippe Petit loves to play live and onstage using an Electric Psalterion + Cymbalum + an amplified wood-tablet, a washboard-like kitchen tool, various glass/knives/inflatable balloons… On top of all, he plays prepared vinyl. Assaulting turntables to take advantage of the vinyl material to fondle released sounds, raking the needle across the record’s grooves, rubbing their stylus on paper, cardboard, metal to process unusual noises and textures. Headbutting… Dancing… Enjoying to perform and to entertain the audience.
