né en 1957 à nagasaki, japon
日本国内での活動:
東京外国語大学卒業。千野栄一、西江雅弘、井筒俊彦、小泉文夫、九鬼周造、斜め読みによるフランス文学＋哲学、
特にブランショからの影響がその後の自分の活動の方向性を決めたと今では思われる（迷路製作者 Greg Bright、James Gang live in concert のLost womanの影響も大）。
82年灰野敬二と米国ツアー、その直後のニューヨーク滞在時、当時の新興勢力、ジョン・ゾーンのラジカルで挑発的な音楽に出会う。その後、Absolute Null Punktを経、間章、竹田賢一、秋田昌美の批評、雑誌トラントニック、演奏家デレク・ベイリー、阿部薫などの影響下、即興演奏の探求に乗り出す。自ら追従していた即興の第一世代の演奏スタイルに対する疑問から一時演奏活動を控えるも、９０年代後半、音響派等のムーブメントに目を開かれる。同時期に渡仏の機会を得、環境の変化に応じて思考も変わり、長年の課題であったソロ演奏に集中するようになった。
現在では、主にソロ、デュオ、トリオのフォーマットで演奏。他の分野とのコラボレーションに関しては、ダンスや演劇とのそれもそれなりにはあるが、現在の関心はより言葉やイメージに向かっている、と書き記すが、その動機の基本はジャンルというよりは相手が『どのような人であるか』による。

（以上、覚え書きとしても sep 2022）
Graduated from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. Eiichi Chino, Masahiro Nishie, Toshihiko Izutsu, Fumio Koizumi, Shuzo Kuki, then French Literature + Philosophy through Skew Reading, in particular, Blanchot. Their influence now seems to have determined the direction of my activities since then (yes, don't forget maze maker, Greg Bright and Lost woman at James Gang live in concert etc).
In 1982, he toured the United States with Keiji Haino, and during his stay in New York immediately after that , he encountered the radical, provocating music of John Zorn, a lower manhattan emerging force. After coming back to Japan, through the explosive sound trio Absolute Null Punkt, under the influence of Akira Aida, Kenichi Takeda, Masami Akita, the magazine Transonic, musicians Derek Bailey, Kaoru Abe, etc., he embarked on an exploration of improvisation. Although he temporarily refrained from performing due to doubts about the styles of the first generation of improvisers he had followed, he restarted playing, thanks to the movements such as Onkyo in Japan, named by certain foreign critic in the 90's. In 99, he had the opportunity to live and work in France, that changed his way of thinking and playing, he began to concentrate in particular on solo improvisation, which had been a long-standing challenge.
Today, he mainly performs in solo, duo and trio formats. As for collaborations with other fields' artists, he notes that even if he has experiences quite a lot of sorts of collaborations with dance and theater, his current interest is more towards words and images, but finally it depends on what kind of person the Other is.

(En français-In English)
Percussionniste, Seijiro Murayama travaille en France depuis 1999, après presque 20 ans de parcours musicaux dans le domaine de la musique improvisée. Son travail est focalisé, en particulier, sur la collaboration entre la musique et d'autres activités artistiques : danse (Catherine Diverrès), vidéo (Olivier Gallon), peintures (François Bidault), photos (Purpose.fr), littérature, philosophie (Jean-Luc Nancy, Ray Brassier), performance (Diego Chamy) etc. Cela ne l'empêche pas d'avoir de nombreux projets purement sonores (avec Jean-Luc Guionnet, Pascale Criton, Eric Cordier, Eric La Casa, Axel Dörner, Tim Blechmann, Seymour Wright, Toshimaru Nakamura, Toshiya Tsunoda). Pour lui, l'improvisation est son souci artistique majeur même si, en public, il n'exerce pas toujours cette pratique. Son approche est basée sur l'attention à l'espace et au lieu, à l'énergie du public et notamment à la qualité du silence à des niveaux différents (physique, social, ontologique). Il est en train d'approfondir des réflexions notamment sur la question de l'idiomatique et le non-idiomatique - "Idioms and Idiots" (avec Jean-Luc Guionnet, Mattin, Ray Brassier 2009). En 2010-2012, il est le curateur du festival " Personal and Collective" à Ljubljana, en Slovénie. Il est lauréat 2016 en résidence à la Villa Kujoyama à Kyoto avec Didier Aschour.
