About Bernhard Günter

Born 1957. Bernhard Günter is a German guitarist, composer and jazz guitarist.

Bernhard Günter (born 1957 in Neuwied, West Germany) is a German post-Cageian composer associated with microsound and lowercase movements or styles of minimalist composition. He is influenced by Morton Feldman.
