Murcof

Luis, an 18-year-old Mexican boy with indigenous roots, enters the Heroico Military College with the hope of securing a better future. There, he encounters a rigid and institutionally violent system designed to make him a perfect soldier.

Francisco was building a luxurious house in Mexico where a fatal accident caused the death of his brother. When Francisco learns that his widowed sister-in-law will not receive a compensation from the opulent owner of the house, he will seek justice.

Murcof, Erik Truffaz and Talvin Singh live at the 2006 Montreux Jazz festival. This is the track RIOS from the album REMEMBRANZA, played as encore.

Two parallel narratives intertwine: the first follows a helmet-clad, faceless horse and rider adrift in an indeterminate landscape of ice and snow, quite literally lost in time and space, while the second seems to allude to a strange scientific experiment. Lost in Time plunges us into perpetual renewal, each ending leading to a new beginning. The protagonists – two beings bound by a certain mutual dependence – are forever trapped in a time loop where life and death ceaselessly rotate.
