Tritonus
Far In The Sky- Live At Stagge's Hotel 1977
TRITONUS was founded in 1972 by keyboardist, composer and producer Peter Seiler. From the beginning the plan was to make orchestral rock music and classical music should serve as the foundation of the sound. The release of the self-produced single ("The Way of Spending Time") followed in 1975 the debut album "TRITONUS"(Bellaphon) which caused quite a stir. In September 1976, with the second album "Between The Universes" (Bellaphon) the band had found its ultimate sound. Even more than before the synthesizers determined the sound of TRITONUS, the album brought Peter Seiler also the reputation of being the best German synthesizer player of this genre. The album was presented live extensively and achieved great reviews in the press. In April 1977 TRITONUS gave an concert at WDR studio with classical choir and large pipe organ, the concert was recorded and broadcasted as part of the popular radio series "Nachtmusik im WDR". At that time the band consisted of mastermind Peter Seiler and Rolf D. Schnapka (bass, vocals) and Arthur Weiss (drums). These three guys then also played the gig at Stagge's Hotel in Osterholz-Scharmbeck on 14.10.1977. After another single ("Trojan Horse") TRITONUS disbanded. Previously Peter Seiler already had recorded with "Keyboard & Friends" a widely acclaimed debut album. After the end of TRITONUS he launched a successful solo career that still continues today
