history

Johannes Marx, who also runs a small recording studio in Berlin and was active in the band Planet 9 , and Miki Yoshimura from Osaka met in Dresden in 2001 and founded pitch tuners together with drummer Stefan Weiß.

The first two albums were made in my own living room. The third album was recorded live in the transporter room in cooperation with producer Moses Schneider (including Beatsteaks , Tocotronic and Mediengruppe Telekommander ) .

The idea of ​​Pitchtuner has been from the beginning to combine electronic club music, which lives from the variety of sound generation and is less characterized by dynamism and liveliness, and band music. When performing live, guitar, bass and drums go hand in hand with the electronic sound sources.

The band name Pitchtuner serves as a name for the ideal image of a machine that is perfectly adapted to people. With this goal in mind, Johannes Marx develops numerous instruments and controllers of his own that are also used live. For the album release of "Ready To Go", an approximately 30 cm high robot "PiTuRo" was developed together with the Japanese artist Shoxxx, which is on stage when the band performs live. The open source microcontroller "Arduino" or its further developments are used for the technical implementation.
