Killbody Tuning Biography
Abrasive, contemplative and radical, the music of Killbody Tuning is a world of instrumental soundscapes shaped by ambient, rock and metal in the vein of Cult of Luna, Mogwai and Long Distance Calling.
After their warmly received debut EP The French Hunter (2008), the band arranged some songs by Philippe Léotard for the play Clinique de la Raison Close, produced by the Swiss theatre company Passaparola.
One year after this successful experience, Killbody Tuning wrote the score of Dernière Chasse, a short film written and directed by the young Swiss filmmaker Julien Humbert-Droz. This creative process gave birth to Killbody Tuning’s first LP, 47°0'40.00"N/6°42'20.00"E (2010), which received positive and enthusiastic reviews throughout Europe.
After touring Switzerland and France in 2011 and 2012, Killbody Tuning spent a whole year writing and rearranging new pieces under the careful guidance of Julien Fehlmann (The Ocean, Coilguns). Recorded live, Hello! Welcome, so far… (2014) expresses the intensity and powerful emotions of the music of the band at its best. This album was released on 24 October 2014 on Hummus Records (Coilguns, The Fawn, Louis Jucker, H E X, Emilie Zoé...) and was followed by an extended tour in 2015 and 2016.
In 2016 the band worked on rewriting Darren Aronofsky's "Pi" score. They played their new compositions live during a projection of "Pi" at the film festival 2300 Plan 9 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. After this unique show, Killbody Tuning rewrote selected pieces of their new work and recorded a new album that will be released in November 2018.
