Pitchfork - the history Pitchfork, a word pulled by chance out of an English dictionary eventually became the name of their project, but the roots of Project Pitchfork in the persons of Peter Spilles and Dirk Scheuber are as well due to a chance meeting of the two at a Girls Under Glass concert in 1989. The two soon started producing demo tracks, which managed to find their way into Reeperbahn clubs and were, according to Peter, some of his "greatest moments". At their first live appearance at the Hamburg club "Kir", their future manager, Kai Lotze must have liked what he heard and saw. Later in 1990, a 9-track demo "K.N.K.A." (Killing Nature Killing Animals) was released, the first official Project Pitchfork recording - and it sold out. Project Pitchfork signed with the Hypnobeat label in 1991 and released their first album, Dhyani, which bridged the gap between EBM and wave, bringing atmosphere to the usually hard-edge electronic music, while expanding the electronic content.
