Murcof is the performing and recording name of Mexican electronica artist Fernando Corona. Biography Corona was born in 1970 in Aylmer, Canada and was raised in the nearby port of Ensenada. In 2000 he returned to Tijuana, but has since relocated to Barcelona, Spain. He was for a time a member of the Tijuana-based Nortec Collective of electronic musicians under the Terrestre project name. Music Murcof's music is sparse, minimalist, sample-based electronica. Although founded on complex, at times, abstract, glitchy electronic percussion, Corona's recordings are more melodic and traditionally structured than many contemporary electronic musicians. Many recordings feature orchestral strings sampled from recordings of works by modern composers such as Arvo Pärt.
