Roger and the Pacemaker

Seijiro Murayama and Roger Fähndrich improvise with voice, percussion and electric guitar, partially using pre-written lyrics. Our sound research is site-specific. We improvise in all kinds of spaces and situations, recently for example in a fashion show. Therefore, when we play we don’t speak of concerts but of test gigs.
