   About Tom Zunk
Tom Zunk


Avant-garde Music

since 1993


Solo Works and Collaborations until 2007





I studied Ethnomusicology at Berlins Free University and Javanese GAMELAN as well as innovative new techniques for percussion instruments with Indonesian composer and musician extraordinaire Gutama Soegijo and the BANJAR GRUPPE Berlin, one of the most intriguing avant-garde Schlagwerk-Ensemble in Europe (1978-1993).

Numerous concerts at national, European and international Gamelan and Percussion festivals highlighted by our appearance at the First International Gamelan Festival during the 1986 World Exhibition EXPO in Vancouver/CAN as only orchestra being invited from Europe.


Below an image from Banjar Gruppe Berlin in Vancouver Aug 1986: I am the one on the left...

Gamelan-2a 75prozent.jpg


On stage with free improvised music since 1976. Own compositions since 1993.


1987-89 Music for BUTOH dance theatre with TATOEBA - theatre danse grotesque aka Yumiko Yoshioka, Minako Seki and Delta RAi in Berlin


1994 with drum n bass formation WYRDSPHERE in Brighton/UK

2007 with French bass player/cellist Benoît Delaune formerly of French avant-prog band La Société des Timides à la Parade des Oiseaux (La STPO) from Rennes


1997-2007 I was mastermind of GHETTO RAGA, one of Berlins most original free improvising outfits which sadly disbandoned early 2007.


Since 2000 with performer/dancer/vocalist Elke Postler as SYNTRON







I am worldwide one of the few soloists on the WATERPHONE. Since 1987 I play a prototype Waterphone built 1974 by its inventor Richard Waters.
