Murcof - Twin Color (vol. I) [InFiné]

Just one track available for now, but it's so beautiful that I'm already sold on the new album. Tentatively highly recommended.

Dear everyone. 
I'm thrilled to announce that my new album, Twin Color, will be released on November 15th via InFiné. This project began during the 2020 lockdown while experimenting with  classic synthesis methods and analog effects, beautifully elevated when Geilfus joined forces later, bringing his cinematic visual world, developed with video game software, into the mix. The result is a fusion of emotionally driven music and retro-futuristic visuals. 

This record feels like a homecoming, a reimagining of my electronic music roots. If you want to hear it first, you can pre-save the album on Spotify:

Hola a todos. 
Me alegra mucho anunciar que mi nuevo álbum, Twin Color, estará disponible el 15 de Noviembre a través de InFiné. Este proyecto nació durante el confinamiento de 2020 mientras experimentaba con diferentes técnicas de síntesis clásica y efectos analógicos. La colaboración con Simon Geilfus, quien más tarde se unió, enriqueció el proyecto de sobremanera aportando su mundo visual cinematográfico, utilizando software de desarrollo de videojuegos. El resultado es una fusión entre música de sintetizador y visuales retro-futuristas. 

Este álbum representa un regreso a mis raíces, una reimaginación de mis inicios en la música electrónica. Si quieres escucharlo antes que nadie, ya puedes reservarlo en Spotify

Statement on his Bandcamp, I don't like this part - smells like: drones, drones, drones, more drones? I'm pretty much opposed to that "wholesome audiovisual approach". Hipsta bee ess.

"Premiered at Mutek Montréal in August 2024, Twin Color is also an unprecedented audiovisual performance, created in collaboration with Simon Geilfus, based in Brussels, who has nourished and colored the album’s production."

One word: Oceano.

Sounds really nice - why is the vinyl limited to 50?

Ill always associate his name with the big bad corporation from Outlast lol

The singles are pretty nice, never really dove into this guys catalogue

I've heard the whole thing. First half of the album is amazing but it drops off a little and is overlong imo. Still one of the best things i've heard this year.

Interesting- did you get to check KOAN Sound as well? It’s my discovery of the year and sounds like the perfect blend of Murcof meets Tipper and LORN

Liking this a lot. Very dark and cinematic.

Just skipped over it on a streaming service. Inappropriate first reaction: "too ambient and droney again". Will properly listen.

Dope release! Dark, Deep warm bass dubby stuff me like
