Fabian M. Muller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fabian M. Müller (also Fabian M. Mueller , born January 19, 1983 in St. Gallen ) is a Swiss jazz musician ( piano , composition , also celesta , harmonium ).

Live and act

At the age of six, Müller received his first music lessons on the violin. Classical piano training followed at the age of nine. Between 1999 and 2005 he received piano lessons in jazz and classical music at the Rorschach teacher training college .

Müller worked as a professional musician in the Swiss jazz scene since 2005; first recordings were made with the formations Jajazz (with Dušan Prusák , Jan Geiger , Stefan Widmer ) and Box (album Bruch (2008), with Alexandre Maurer , Christian Gschwend , Niklaus Hürny , Kaspar von Grünigen ). He formed his FM trio with Grünigen and the drummer Fabian Bürgi , with whom he has produced four albums since 2007. Harald Rehmann locates the music of Müller's FM Trio “in the field of tension between fine structure on the one hand and high energy, yes ecstasy on the other”; the jazz editor of Deutschlandfunk compared the trio with the German Pablo Held Trio or the trio of Colin Vallon .

In 2010 Müller recorded his solo debut album Monolog ( Unit Records ) in the DRS studio in Zurich . Since the beginning of the 2010s he has continued to play in the Augur Ensemble (with Anni Elif Egecioglu , Eirik Dørsdal , Jon Fält , Kaspar von Grünigen). With the saxophonist Reto Suhner he recorded the duo productions Schattenspiel ( Between the lines ; 2014) and Am Grund . In 2015 he received the IBK Jazz Prize . The jury recognized him for his expressive and clear piano playing and his fresh compositions: "His versatile approach to jazz shows his openness and curiosity in tonal discoveries, which he consciously and continuously seeks in a wide variety of formations."
