He has been living in Paris for the last 10  years.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHis first performance on drums occurred in 2005 in Menza pri koritu,  AKC Metelkova mesto. When he was performing in Ljubljana for the second  time with Renato Rinaldi in Mai 2005 he also had a look of the Studio  Azil, which got him interested in a residence.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSeijiro belongs to the second generation of creators of musical  improvisation. He is very appreciated in his field. He had already  worked with many well known musicians and composers. He is often  involved in projects with dancers, painters, philosophers, video  artists... (A list of his projects and discography is available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kknull.com\/anp_e_murayama.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a>)<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nA basis for his creating is listening to the sounds of people, nature  or simply silence. The object of his interest, research and thoughts is  non-language, which for him is a basis for human speech and  performance. Seijiro\u2019s music is not only a sequence of sounds but a way  of thinking and questioning the relation between a language (set of  symbols) and non-language. For him a non-language is a state before the  development of speech, and are those thoughts, perceptions, functions,  which cannot be expressed by speaking. He reaches non-language by  listening to different sounds.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAt the residence in Studio Azil he worked with Ryuzo Fukuhara, a  butoh dancer that lives in Slovenia and with Tim Bleichmann who is a  computer musician from Vienna. Seijiro and Ryuzo met during the  residence. Tim, who has been working with Seijiro since 2007, was  invited in this residential project by Seijiro himself.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn the 4th of August 2009 Seijiro and Tim Bleichmann took part in the  show Godbeni imperializem at Radio \u0160tudent where they presented their  project. (You can listen to the live concert<a href=\"http:\/\/radiostudent.si\/article.php?sid=20034&amp;query=seijiro%20murayama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> here.<\/a>):<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOn the 8th of August they also had a concert in Menza pri koritu, and  at the end we could also see a dancing act by Ryuzo Fukuhara. Seijiro and Ryuzo created a music-dance project during the residence,  which they presented on the 13th of September in Menza pri koritu. (Look  at the performance <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slovid.com\/ryuzoo+fukuhara+and+seijiro+murayama+collaboration+excerpt+part+2\/31605\/video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a>)<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBesides everything we have already mentioned Seijiro also organized  series of improvisation workshops, which attracted more than 20 young  Slovene musicians and actors. He is also planning on working with them  next year. They stayed in touch by internet and he also prepared a  special composition for each and every one of them.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBesides the fact that he joined forces with young musicians, Seijiro  also got in contact with Toma\u017e Grom, N\u2019Tok, Luka Prin\u010di\u010d, Irena Toma\u017ein,  Radical Improvisation duet and arranged future projects with them.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMusic review: Mladina, 2009\/32\/audio.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mladina.si\/tednik\/200932\/boben__prenosnik__improvizacija_in_buto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Goran Kompo\u0161: Transfer, improvisation and boot.<\/a><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMusic review: Mladina, 2005\/49\/rodeo. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mladina.si\/tednik\/200549\/clanek\/kul-rodeo--jasa_kramarsic_kacin-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ja\u0161a K.
