Career

[edit]

Tinner began his career as the audio engineer of the noted German Krautrock band Can in 1973, with whom he recorded seven albums until 1989. In 1978, he took over the so-called Can-Studio, the Cologne-based band’s the rehearsal and recording room. Tinner managed the studio until it was dismantled and integrated into the German rock'n pop museum in Gronau on November 9, 2007, where it was inaugurated in the presence of all the Can band members and René Tinner himself.[2]

During this time, he also worked as a producer with a variety of artists and bands. During 1978-79, he worked with Lou Reed on Live: Take No Prisoners and The Bells. Other artists and bands Tinner worked with in his capacity as a producer include Maloo (on their worldwide hit single “The Captain of Her Heart”)[citation needed], KFC, Joachim Witt, Trio, Traffic, Holger Czukay, Die Krupps, Floyd George, Julian Dawson, Marius Müller-Westernhagen, Helen Schneider, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Jule Neigel Band, and Kreisler. In addition, Tinner also produced Jim Capaldi's Living On the Outside (2001).[3]

Tinner went on to work with various other clients in studios predominantly across Europe, such as German actor and musician Marius Müller-Westernhagen, multi-award winning Russian band Mumiy Troll, German comedian Dieter Nuhr, Norwegian alternative rock band Serena-Maneesh, and others.

Tinner has also worked on a number of television and film soundtracks. In 2008, Tinner recorded the film music for the Wim Wenders production Palermo Shooting (which was presented at Cannes Film Festival in 2008).[4] Other notable television and film soundtrack productions include Knife in the Head (Reinhard Hauff, 1978), Schneeland (Hans W. Geißendörfer, 2004) and Stolen Ransom [de] (Stephan Wagner [de], 2012). Tinner is also active as a producer at the Minneapolis-based independent production company Megabien Entertainment.
