Profile of the performer Günter Müller:
Born in München in 1954, living in Switzerland since 1966, percussionist Günter Müller has been playing a unique drum set with a mobile pick-up and microphone system of his own invention since 1981.

Müller was a founding member of the trio Nachtluft, with Andres Bosshard and Jacques Widmer, who have been creating sound-installations and sound-architecture, and of the electronic quartet Poire_Z with Erik M and Voice Crack.
He is part of MKM with Jason Kahn and Norbert Möslang, and of the Signal Quintet with Jason Kahn, Tomas Korber, Norbert Möslang, Christian Weber.
