Murcof announces new project, Twin Color
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 25 November 2022
Producer Fernando Corona – best known as Murcof – has announced new project Twin Color, which sees him moving into post-punk, new wave and synth wave sounds.
“I started working on Twin Color during the first wave of the pandemic, back in early/mid-2020”, he explains. “I was playing around in the studio trying to come up with some ideas for a possible new Murcof album. Those first sketches were a bit Murcofy, but very soon afterwards it became obvious this was something else and that indeed it required its own unique name”.
Vocals on the tracks are handled by Corona’s young daughter Alina, whose voice he cut up and manipulated for the tracks when she visited him in his studio.
“I began recording our little jam sessions just for fun and perhaps also as a way of showing her some of the sound manipulation possibilities on the computer”, he says. “But later, when I was again on my own working on the music, I thought I would give some of the more melodic bits of her voice a try on the demos I was making, time stretching, formant shifting and Auto-Tuning it as I went along”.
The first Twin Color EP, ‘Extended Play No 1’, is set for release on 2 Dec. Here’s a little teaser:
