BRUNO PITCH

Bruno Pitch biography
Bruno Pitch is a Chapman Stick player whose debut album, Crystal Garden, was released in 2010. It featured himself on Chapman Stick and Guix Huré on drums, and was written to showcase Pitch's stick playing.

Bruno Pitch started to teach himself guitar at the age of 14, but instead of going the route of covering other artists music, he instead composed music of his own. In the '80s, he played in several hard rock groups; in 1993, he joined the CMCN music school in Nancy. At the time he was mainly interested in improving his metal guitar playing, but through the school he was introduced to many different styles of music.

In 2004, Pitch acquired a Chapman stick, intrigued by the possibilities of playing both guitar and bass parts on a single instrument with two hands. He met Guix when (ironically) he joined Magic Street, who were looking for a guitarist but that already had a bassist; thus he was required to play the stick like a guitar. Pitch had originally intended to record Crystal Gardens using only drum loops and his computer, but decided to try recording it with a real drummer, so he invited Magic Street bandmate Guix Huré to play with him.

Crystal Gardens was released by Bruno Pitch in 2010.
