Truffaz’s intoxicating brass sorcery looms above and flows through Murcof’s surging, spiraling and throbbing ocean of electronic abstraction. Being Human Being, which was inspired and enhanced by the striking work of Enki Bilal, the French comics artist and filmmaker, is Truffaz and Murcof’s sophomore studio-based collaborative effort, an exotic, incendiary and outrageous work that carries a lot of production/studio wizardry, but also a seductive aura of improvisation which glows throughout. Before that, in 2006, the two worked with famous tabla player Talvin Singh as a genre-crossing live trio. In 2008 they released their debut collaborative effort, Mexico, a mini album that fuses their distinctive powers into a rather organic sounding atmospheric hybrid. The sonic love affair between Swiss-born French Blue Note veteran jazz trumpeter Erik Truffaz and Mexican ambient electronica artist Murcof, had already produced unique results before. ![]()
