Günter Müller

Günter Müller is a German-born percussionist and experimental electronic musician based in Switzerland. Beginning with an amplified and electronically modified drum kit, he developed a practice in which pickups, effects and recording devices became integral to his instrumental vocabulary.

He founded the label For4Ears and played in groups including Nachtluft and poire z. His collaborations encompass Christian Marclay, Keith Rowe, Otomo Yoshihide and numerous musicians from electroacoustic improvisation. Over time his work increasingly emphasised electronic processes and the careful shaping of sound texture, moving fluidly between percussion, live processing and open-ended ensemble interaction.
