René Tinner (born February 18, 1953 in St. Gallen) is a Swiss recording engineer and producer, who has produced over 200 studio records and numerous live-performances.
Career
Tinner began his career as the audio engineer of the German rock band Can in 1973, with whom he has recorded seven albums until 1989. In 1978 Tinner took over the so-called Can-Studio, which had been and continued to be the rehearsal and recording room of the Cologne based band Can. Tinner ran the studio until it has been dismantled to be integrated into the German rock'n pop museum in 2007. During those years, Tinner produced there many artists and bands. In 1978 and 1979 Tinner worked on two records of Lou Reed (LIVE Take No Prisoners and The Bells). Other artists and bands he produced with in his studio were Maloo (worldwide hit single “The Captain of Her Heart”), 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, Kreisler, amongst many other artists and bands of international fame. Tinner produced there also Jim Capaldi's record "Living On The Outside" (2001).[1]
On November 9, 2007 the legendary Can-Studio was integrated into the German rock'n pop museum in Gronau, where it was inaugurated, in presence of all the Can band members and René Tinner himself.[2] Tinner went on to work with clients of all color in various other studios mainly 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 many more.
Tinner has also completed numerous TV and film soundtracks. In 2008, Tinner recorded the film music of the Wim Wenders movie Palermo Shooting (presented at Cannes Film Festival in 2008).[3] Other TV and film soundtrack productions include Messer im Kopf (Reinhard Hauff, 1978), Schneeland (Hans W. Geißendörfer, 2004), Lösegeld (Stephan Wagner, 2012), and many more. Tinner is the producer of Minneapolis based independent production company Megabien Entertainment.
