Tolbooth Auditorium, 9.30pm It is great to have Murcof at the festival for the first time. His CD The Versailles Sessions is a particular favourite and brings together all the elements of music making that he is renowned for worldwide - a brilliantly realised balance of electronic and acoustic sound worlds.Fernando Corona (aka Murcof) was born in Mexico but now lives in Barcelona. He set up Murcof to explore the forms and timbres of the classical tradition through digital means.For Le Weekend he is brought together with the much lauded Francesco Tristano to perform a completely new and original set of music. Tristano has already collaborated with Murcof on his Not For Piano recording, a playful ransack of his young headís open ended approach to music. As well as his classical background, he is as much at home with Autechre, Carl Craig, Moritz von Oswald and of course going head to head with Murcof in a quest for musical relevance and elegance.
