Pitchtuner is a German-Japanese electro-rock band that’s been making waves since 2001, with roots in Dresden and a current home base that orbits the vibrant music scene in Berlin. The trio—Miki Yoshimura, Johannes Marx, and Stefan Weiß—blends the raw energy of live drums, bass, and guitar with an array of custom-built electronic instruments and quirky controllers, making their performances an unpredictable blend of club beats and rock dynamics. Their sound is shaped by a DIY spirit and a love for experimentation, whether that means inventing new gadgets, collaborating with artists and engineers, or performing across the globe from Tokyo and Shanghai to New York and London.
Over the years, Pitchtuner has released a string of singles and EPs, reflecting their curiosity and genre-bending style, with tracks like “Ready to Go,” “Unity Wins,” “And No One Saw This Coming,” and the socially conscious “I’m Voting with My Wallet.” They’ve played festivals big and small, and are known for their energetic live shows that mix the human touch with clever tech—like the stage robot PiTuRo or their signature “Midi Rod” instrument. At their core, Pitchtuner is about uniting the precision of electronic music with the looseness and soul of a live band, creating music that’s both thought-provoking and irresistibly danceable.
