Murcof - Death and the Maiden

Private Domain's project - Iko Invites Murcof for two experimental electronic versions of classical compositions.
Here is his version for Schubert's famous Death and the Maiden.

Murcof:
Murcof was founded in early 2001 as a solo project of Fernando Corona in Tijuana, México. Murcof experiments with minimalistic electronic and classical music, exploring how digital precision and acoustic warmth can complement each other. The music is intended to reflect a digitalized way of interacting with the world, with each other and ourselves. It is meant to remind us that the end user will always be human, and that technology is a tool of expression and not an end in itself.
Original Composition:
The String Quartet in D minor was written in 1826 by Franz Schubert, just after the composer became aware of his ruined health. It is popularly known as the Death and the Maiden Quartet because the second movement is adapted from the piano accompaniment to Schubert's 1817 song (or Lied), Death and the Maiden.
