'''Günter Müller''' (born October 20, 1954) is a German [[Sound Art|sound artist]] who originally performed as a [[percussionist]] and [[drummer]], active primarily in [[free improvisation]]. He was born in [[Munich]], [[West Germany]], but has lived in [[Switzerland]] since 1966.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Originally a drummer in various [[jazz]] ensembles, Müller grew interested in [[free improvisation]] and began utilizing various [[extended technique]]s. He used contact [[microphone]]s to amplify his [[drum set]], and has incorporated various electronic effects, sometimes using an [[iPod]] or [[MiniDisc]] recorder to loop or otherwise process his performances. Increasingly since about 2000 Müller has emphasized electronics, sometimes entirely forgoing percussion. Critic Brian Olewnick describes him as "one of the most fascinating collaborators in contemporary improvised music [...] tending to create subtly modulated sounds of an almost palliative nature; often with an elastically liquid rhythmic sense."<ref>Brian Olewnick, [http://www.allmusic.com/album/time-travel-mw0000694705 "Günter Müller - Time Travel" (review)], All Music.</ref><br />
<br />
Müller was a founding member of the groups [[Nachtluft]], [[poire z]] and [[Taste Tribes]], and has collaborated with [[Gastr Del Sol]], [[Christian Marclay]], [[Keith Rowe]], [[Voice Crack]], [[Alfred Harth]], [[Kurt Liedwart]] and others. He founded the [[record label]] [[for4ears]].<br />
