Endraum
Описание: About endraum
Prologue
Everything began in 1986 with the formation of the Frankfurt based group "crux ansata"; Hovi played bass and wrote English lyrics; a tape was released with the name "my inflamed eyes". Parallel to this Roman worked on various projects such as "schaum der Tage" or "Opfer der Hingabe", which he released on his own label "ng-medien". The most widely known release on this label was probably the first tape from "front line assembly" and "lassigue bendthaus". Coincidentally, in 1987 / 88 there was a festival in Frankfurt where both musicians played with their respective bands. This can be viewed as the beginning because after this, Roman became the keyboarder of "crux ansata". Many live gigs and recordings followed and in February 1989 a solo effort (without sales or a label company) was made with the recording of a mini lp - in total 500 were produced. Through the recordings, the sound of "crux ansata" changed more and more such that finally the band was dissolved. The dark sounds were replaced by more pop-style structures.
Musical Influences
"joy division" are the influence of "Endraum" - if anyone can really talk about influences. The musical career of both musicians was heavily influences by them to create a music which delves deep inside of you, wakes you and completely changes your idea of music.
The project E N D R A U M
After the group "crux ansata" dissolved, everything appeared to become quiet. But Roman and Hovi met up again to create something totally new - music with the spirit of Joy Division and melancholy of "Gustav Mahler" and the lyrics of "rimbaud". 1989 thought neither of them thought of creating a steady band or group. We dreamt of a sort of a multivisionary opera, within which the theatrical was equivalent to the pictures, lyrics and music - an Opera named "endraum". The first piece of music was called "der neid" (the envy) - an indictment of the musical changes taking place around us, a shout in a completely commercialised world in which feelings are pushed to last place. Endraum stood for an idea which tried to bring everything back to the beginning - to the innermost feelings, a room at the end which will never disclose its exit.
Releases
After "der Neid" was recorded, everything happened very fast. The Idea of an Opera changed to an idea of a musical story - "phantastisch zwecklos" von Heinrich Heine. Endraum became the name and in 1991 the first tape recording of Endraum - "phantastisch zwecklos" was created which was the first musical confrontation with depression, melancholy and absolute personal acceptance. In reality it was a search to become that, what Endraum now signify.
The concept
In the beginning of 1992 followed the second Endraum release, the tape "sehnsucht". None of us thought about recording labels or sales. Central was the need to realise the creativity within. "Sehnsucht" is a concept and from this moment was the name "endraum" also part of the concept. Endraum became a unit and it was from this moment that music, lyrics and images were to be fusioned into one. "Sehnsucht" is a story, more than that, more a wandering through "desire". "Sehnsucht" could, with hindsight, be seen as a personal revelation of two people. Important for us at that time was the fact that the work was never done individually but together. The lyrical ideas of Hovi were immediately translated - or maybe a better formulation is "assisted" - into music on Roman's Piano. Words are equal to Music are equal to Image. Endraum was a musical vision. Endraum had always their music or their creation as an answer to something seen which was missing in most music - feeling.
