The Munich-based artist Peter Pichler is the only musician who has mastered and recorded the classical works for Mixturtrautonium - considered the predecessor of the synthesizer and has significantly influenced the development of electronic music. The Trautonium was originally a monophonic instrument.The development of the device is then inextricably linked to Oskar Sala, a student of Hindemith, who developed the "Volkstrautonium", the Radio Trautonium and the Concert Trautonium from it in the 1930s, and ultimately the Mixturtrautonium at the end of the 1940s.

Special features of the Mixturtrautonium are the frequency dividers, which make it possible to create chords from a fundamental tone using the subharmonic frequency series. Sala set the Trautonium to over 300 films, including award-winning documentaries and Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds".
