During this time his first solo project Keyboards & Friends appeared . The saxophonist Gerd Köthe (later producer of Paola and Peter Hofmann) also took part in this avant-garde production . Peter Seiler founded the classical rock formation Tritonus in 1972 . The first appearance on television was in 1973 in the ARD / SWF talent show . The band Tritonus was disbanded in 1979. He then worked as a free live session musician (including on Udo Jürgens' 1979 European tour ), and then devoted himself entirely to studio work as a composer, musician and soloist. As a studio musician, he has participated in over 150 LP, single and CD productions.

He wrote signature tunes for ZDF (health magazine Praxis, Telezoo, Pfiff, Zeugen des Jahrhundert), film scores for example for the ARD / SWF series “Atlantis must not go under” (1986), the film “Mucki Bude” for SWR / Phoenix and for Arte and GEO, radio indicators for SDR 3 Südfunk Stuttgart and the station identification of HR Frankfurt (used from 1988–2003), as well as music for numerous planetariums such as San Francisco (Lasarium), Miami, New York, Bogota, Mannheim and Stuttgart. He has also composed and produced signature tunes, industrial film music and advertising jingles for some well-known companies and products ( BASF , Boehringer Mannheim , Chio Chips , Ferrero , John Deere , Vredestein ), sports clubs (MERC / Adler Mannheim , Eintracht Frankfurt ) and advertising agencies.
