MURCOF @ Corsica Studios 02/12/07
Following his astonishing sell-out show at the new Peter Harrison Planetarium in Greenwich, Fernando Corona, aka Murcof, returns to London for a one-off audio-visual show at Corsica Studios on Sunday 2nd December.
The event will feature special film work made in collaboration with Italian visual artists xx+xy. Corona’s swift return to London will allow more fans to experience his music as it was meant to be heard. The performance will benefit from Corsica Studios’ spectacular sound system, and we are guaranteed a genuinely overwhelming sonic experience. Support acts for the show will be Rothko and V.I.
Corona's current album, 'Cosmos' been hailed as a masterpiece, taking his work further into the realm of contemporary composition, a process which Corona describes as ”expanding the possibilities of acoustic instruments through electronics”. The result is perfectly balanced: haunting and deeply atmospheric, like peering into a vast and unspeakable darkness.
The recent Planetarium show was the first music event to take place at the venue and coincided with the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first Soviet satellite, Sputnik 1. The performance, which sold out within days, made use of truly mindblowing visuals (some of which had never been seen in public before) to complement the monumental sound of the new album, rendering members of the audience literally speechless...
