Homo Superior
After the brilliant album ‘Und auf einmal sang der Golem neben mir’, Grabosch seems to have added a new section to his diverse musical output. German songs with sarcastic lyrics that are more like poems than conventional song lyrics. However, his sarcasm always has a hopeful undertone, representing a longing for the good. And it is precisely this ambivalence that is underlined by the music. Each song is like a puzzle that plays with music history and musical genres. This also applies to ‘Homo Superior’, which is thematically reminiscent of the Entprima Jazz Cosmonauts’ track ‘Superhuman’. It fits into a time in which a tendency towards autocratic leaders can be observed in many regions of the world.
Und auf einmal sang der Golem neben mir
It is noticeable that Horst Grabosch has recently turned more and more to his mother tongue, German. This album shines above all with its more or less satirical song lyrics, which have already appeared as poems in his book ‘Und auf einmal stand ich neben mir’. The music was created in dialog with an AI, which was obviously freed from any flat copying addiction in the dialog. The fact that Grabosch moves carefree through all styles of music is nothing new and has always been one of his artistic characteristics. The combination of his enigmatic and humorous lyrics, which are reminiscent of Deichkind or Peter Fox, with the music of the AI creates a depth that somehow exudes a great deal of romance despite all the satire. How the ‘AI whisperer’ achieves this by manipulating the AI designs will probably remain his secret. The listener cannot fail to notice that an accomplished music professional was at work here as well as a poet.
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.
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.
