Gratis live concerten in de Bosbar en via We Are VariousWe are Seijiro Murayama and Roger Fähndrich, born in 1957 and 1982.
One improvised with Keiji Haino at the time the other was improvising walking. We don't make music, but we play test gigs. We use voice, drums, electric guitar and lyrics.
Seijiro Murayama (JP, 1957) has been improvising with voice and percussion since 1980. On their US tour in 1982 with Keiji Haino, he was greatly inspired by John Zorn's music in NY. Murayama currently improvises solo, in duo or trio with Jean-Luc Guionnet, Axel Dörner, Eric La Casa, Klaus Filip, Hugo Abraham, Cyprien Busolini and others.
Roger Fähndrich (CH, 1982) writes paradoxical protest songs as Roger F. & The Structure and is the founder of the ‘Centre of Negativity’, a research centre for conversations about difficult emotions. He studied Fine Arts in Bern (CH) and Autonomous Design in Ghent (BE).
By playing live as well as discussing, we will try to unfold the improvisation practice that Seijiro has developed since the 1980s and add reflections on art and culture. Since we are a punk improvisation duo, we will ask: What is improvisation? What is punk and what is noise? We will talk about attention and try to see if our practice can serve as a playground to explore new/free/open ways of listening.
Percussion, voice: Seijiro Murayama
Electric guitar, voice, lyrics: Roger Fähndrich
