Seiler, Peter
Peter Seiler has been making music all his life. When he was five years old his parents sent him to a piano teacher for lessons. Fascinated by what he learned, he taught himself more about harmony theories and arranging by reading all he could from the masters such as Berlioz and Strauss. Recognizing the sign of the times early, he bought one of the first Moog synthesizers available in Germany in 1971. It was not long before he produced an avantgarde LP titled "Keyboards & Friends". Seiler formed progressive rock band Tritonus a year later, recording two albums and playing hundreds of live gigs. Tritonus split in 1979, and Seiler continued touring as a free session musician. Back in the studio he wrote jingles for radio stations and two major National TV networks. A string of nationwide radio and TV commercials were successful due to his catchy melodies (Vredestein, Ferrero etc.). In the early Eighties Seiler started scoring for television. The main theme of an network series "Atlantis may not perish" ("Olli’s Theme") was included as a bonus track on his first international solo album Flying Frames. After its release in 1986 Seiler returned to the stage.
