Die Geschichte von Meister-DJ Wundertüte
A new EP from the ‘Helden der Arbeit’ series. Even in the previous 3 EPs, we weren’t quite sure whether the lyrics or the music played the main role. Now we know, because there is something fundamentally new in two of the 3 episodes/tracks. Episodes 2 and 3 no longer follow the musical scheme of episode 1, but are completely independent pieces of music, while the scheme of the lyrics remains the same. Obviously, Horst Grabosch is turning more towards the lyrics and philosophical approaches, because as already recognisable in the last releases, the philosophical music poet is flirting with a generative music AI. In doing so, he has found a way to keep his own artistic signature recognisable.
Alexis Is Dreaming
Horst Grabosch ignites the next stage of his artist rocket. Inspired by the development of generative AI, the storyteller combines the latest capabilities of AI with the story of his artistic entity Alexis Entprima. Alexis was already conceived as a machine intelligence when it was launched a few years ago and has already been through a few emotional twists and turns. Now Grabosch lets the machine dream in his story – and it seems to do so extensively. Within this logic, all questions of stylistics and human judgement are out of the question. Here the artist shows his very own view of artificially generated music and this view is profoundly artistic.
Spaceship Diner Evolved
As we learnt from the author Horst Grabosch, these are the last two ‘humanoid’ productions of eclectic electronic music for the time being. In contrast to AI-supported music, this means that synthesisers were played manually, individual samples were processed and recorded human voices were used. The two songs on this single are based on tracks from the early days of the fantasy of the spaceship Entprima, supposedly produced ‘on the fly’ by the intelligent coffee machine in the ship’s diner. The reissues show a clear development of the artist’s personal style. Not only do they show even more profoundly the ambivalent emotions on board an Exodus spaceship, but the resulting bittersweet note is even more evident in the music. The songs are masterfully orchestrated and radiate a fragile and timeless beauty.
Music Market and Streaming in 2024
Competition for the attention of an audience is becoming increasingly fierce and also more costly. This calls other market participants onto the scene who recognise this need and see their profit opportunity there – the promoters. This advertising market is growing with the number of producers, but there is a catch. The number of consumers is not growing at the same rate and, as only profits flow into advertising in the long term, the profit opportunities are increasingly drying up for the majority of all market participants. The fact that fraud is now coming into play is a dark side of human nature but nothing really new.
Artificial Soul Evolved
Now that Horst Grabosch has announced the end of his work as a music producer, there are apparently a few more finished stragglers to follow. Or is it something completely different? If we analyse the songs on this EP stylistically, we do indeed recognise some musical deviations from all the other songs he has produced, which do not appear to be eclectic in nature. The themes fit in with his writing and one could surmise that these are artificial intelligence productions. The title of the EP ‘Artificial Soul Evolved’ also gives an indication of this, as the producer bluntly admitted on the previous album ‘Artificial Soul’ that artificial intelligence was used in the production. As if he had foreseen the development, a few years ago he introduced the intelligent coffee machine ‘Alexis Entprima’ into his accompanying story of the ‘Spaceship Entprima’ and indeed, in other releases we find references to the udio AI platform and his theory that artificial intelligence productions by no means have to be soulless. We can assume that the former IT professional is perfectly capable of giving the AI targeted commands that result in personalised songs. Judge yourself!
Artificial Soul
‘Artificial Soul’ – a programmatic title in times of dramatic developments in artificial intelligence. Well, we are used to Grabosch working at the cutting edge at any age. We already know 9 songs from single releases, but the previously unreleased opening song ‘Dance With the Angels’ really packs a punch. In 3 minutes, the writer and music producer briefly turns all conventional notions of the soul on their head and demystifies the soul as a haven of unity. It is no coincidence that the song has the same title as his recently published book, where philosophy, music, poetry, politics and everyday stories come together to create an almost intoxicating cocktail of insights. The unpretentious artist himself notes that all the songs were created with the support of AI. This album really is a warning to all musicians who believe that they occupy a special position simply by ‘owning’ the soul.
Message From Our Founder
Horst Grabosch
“Development don’t stop!” When we started with Entprima, there was a band called Entprima Live without any recordings but lot of live events. You can follow the way of this band on their own website > Entprima Live
Meanwhile we have recording projects with million plays and things get more complex. I try my best to give you an overview and to keep you informed.
In addition, I started publishing books in 2022, which were also produced by Entprima Publishing. Due to the ongoing problems with the well-known platforms Facebook, Instagram etc. (> Statement), I have also set up a community in the style of Patreon here, where all the content available online can be found.
