Tritonus was a German progressive rock band active from 1972 to 1979 and based in Mannheim. The group was founded by synthesizer player Peter K. Seiler, bassist Ronald Brand, and percussionist Charlie Jöst. Seiler also acted as the band’s manager. Tritonus drew strong inspiration from English progressive rock, particularly Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and became known for its prominent use of keyboards and English‑language vocals. Peter K. Seiler grew up surrounded by piano and organ music performed by his father and began classical piano lessons at the age of seven. He later developed an interest in musicians such as Jimmy Smith, Keith Emerson, and Brian Auger. Before forming Tritonus, Seiler played semi‑professionally in two other groups, including a band called Mohn & Gedächtnis. Tritonus was established in 1972 after Seiler met bassist Ronald Brand at a Mannheim music club named “Genesis.” They recruited percussionist Charlie Jöst, and in early 1973 the trio began rehearsing and developing original material. The name Tritonus refers to the tritone, a musical interval spanning three whole tones (six semitones), corresponding to an augmented fourth. Because the interval was relatively uncommon in classical music, the musicians felt it was an appropriate name for a trio with classical roots.
