Horst Grabosch

I’m a real person on Earth and I made up the fictional ‘Spaceship Entprima’.
My collaborators are also fictional characters from the spaceship:

Alexis Entprima is an intelligent coffee machine in the spaceship’s dining room. Captain Entprima is my deputy on board the spaceship. Entprima Jazz Cosmonauts is the band on board.

Some earthlings call me weird, but what else can you be when you look at our ‘reality’.
My music is also fiction until you listen to it and enjoy it.

The above title is certainly the best choice, if you want to reduce Horst Grabosch’s artist profile to a headline. When a burnout ended his first career as a musician, he asked himself for the first time what his variety of musical styles in which he worked professionally meant for his mission statement and his true talent. Unable to find an answer, he turned to a completely new field of work and retrained as an information technologist.

After his second burnout, he intensified his efforts to find an answer and began to write. Some insights into his unknown life drives emerged from these texts, but only the completion of his novel ‘Der Seele auf der Spur’ in 2021 brought the answer. His outstanding talent is his boundless imagination and the ability to bring the individual stories into an artistic form and connect them to a greater whole.

In this respect, the experiences from his earlier work as a musician in jazz, pop, classical music and theatre and later as an information technologist are the nourishment for his current work as a music producer and writer.

Horst Grabosch, a talented artist from Germany, has taken a varied route in his career. Grabosch, born in Wanne-Eickel in 1956, developed a strong interest in music during his early years, which inspired him to further his education in German, philosophy, and musicology in Bochum and Cologne. In 1984, he completed his commitment and graduated as a trumpet player in an orchestra from the Folkwang Academy of Music in Essen. During the following decades, Grabosch began an impressive career as a professional trumpet player, playing all around the world and appearing at prestigious festivals, radio shows, and television programs.

His unconventional approach to music and life is evident in his creation of the fictional ‘Spaceship Entprima’ and its imaginative characters. Following burnout, he received training as an IT specialist at Siemens-Nixdorf in Munich, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his professional life. Although he shifted his focus, Grabosch’s love for creativity remained strong and he eventually started making electronic music in 2020. Currently located in the southern part of Munich, Grabosch is still innovating in his art, creating mesmerizing pieces that showcase his diverse influences and vast creativity.
