Extended techniques, preparations, usage of electronics, that\u2019s common base for Vrba and Ulher, a duo that came into being after a very successful concert at The NOW now festival in Sydney, whose organisers had the superb idea to make them play together. Carefully listening and inspiring each other for new trajectories during their instant compositions, exploring sonic possibilities of their instruments and common environment, they create a joyful journey for the listeners. Their first album Schallschatten has been released in 2021 by the Slovenian label Inexhaustible Editions. <a href=\"https:\/\/inexhaustibleeditions.bandcamp.com\/album\/schallschatten\">https:\/\/inexhaustibleeditions.bandcamp.com\/album\/schallschatten<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201aTwo trumpets! And all the possible sound effects, imagined, found by chance or coveted after hundreds of hours of practice and research&#8230;.A superb discovery!<br \/>\nWe are amazed by the extraordinary sound bestiary, the almost limitless range of their palette of rare or untraceable timbres and always in constant mutation.\u2018 Jean-Michel van Sschouwburg<\/p>\n<p><strong>Petr Vrba<\/strong> often works with extended techniques, preparation and bass clarinet mouthpiece on trumpet. Besides acoustic modulation of idiomatic usage of the trumpet he also uses electronic devices to modulate the sound, ring modulator for example. Besides playing trumpet he uses more and more electronic equipment, often body controlled and\/or DIY electronics.<a href=\"http:\/\/vrrrba.cz\"> http:\/\/vrrrba.cz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Birgit Ulher<\/strong> works mainly on extending the sounding possibilities of the trumpet by using splitting sounds, multiphonics and granular sounds and has developed her own extended techniques and preparations for producing these sounds. Besides this material research she is especially interested in the relation between sound and silence. Since 2006 she works with radios and uses extended speakers, fed with radio noise in her trumpet mutes.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.birgit-ulher.de\">http:\/\/www.birgit-ulher.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5719 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/echoraum.at\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/seijirotestgig1-1024x706.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/echoraum.at\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/seijirotestgig1-1024x706.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/echoraum.at\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/seijirotestgig1-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/echoraum.at\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/seijirotestgig1-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/echoraum.at\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/seijirotestgig1.jpg 1108w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Roger and the Pacemaker<\/strong><br \/>\nPunk Impro Duo<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seijiro Murayama<\/strong> (Perkussion, Stimme) &amp; <strong>Roger F\u00e4hndrich<\/strong> (E-Gitarre, Stimme, Text)<\/p>\n<p>Wir sind Seijiro Murayama und Roger F\u00e4hndrich.<br \/>\nEiner improvisierte mit Keiji Haino, als der andere Laufen improvisierte.
