Endraum

End space is a music project that was founded in 1989 by Hovi Miskovics and Roman Rütten in Frankfurt am Main. Like Goethe's heirs and the ego are viewed together with bands in the trade press as a co-designer of a period of openness, the dark wave scene in Germany in the late 1980s and as part of a movement that was at that time called New German Death Art. In the mid-1990s, her style of the original neo-classical basic orientation changed rapidly in the Ambient / Electronica.

Background

The group emerged from the previous band Crux Ansata, which in 1989 released an album self-distributed. Although the roots are in the final room of guitar- oriented post-punk and dark wave environment of the 1980s and bands like Joy Division, the music, the most notable are the Roman Rütten responsible, predominantly generated electronically from the start was. Through the love of detail and the complexity of their compositions as well as the frequent use natural sounding piano and string voices Endraum try to create a very " organic " overall sound. In addition, by Hovi Miskovics usually calm and focused spoken, German poems that stood by puns and allusions to surrealism. Miskovics also ensures with his equally of them reminiscent of Surrealism, some of Cubism images for the visual appearance of end space, primarily through the design of CD artwork. At several albums were also numerous guest musicians such as Laura Carleton Sea of Tranquility or Yvon million and Dominique Oudiou of the French Cold Wave band Neutral Project, involved.

To the name of the project explain Endraum:

" Endraum stood for an idea that tried everything due to its origin - the innermost feeling. A room at the end, who never abandons its output. It's about the inner space within man himself, we try to represent the unconscious. It is the processing of dreams, music and painting. "

In contrast to Goethe's heirs or the final room I stayed the large ( commercial ) breakthrough at that time failed. Concerts are held relatively rare, but it spread all over the world ( Germany, Italy, Russia, Greece, Poland, Belgium), isolated with a bassist as a guest musician. Unlike many of the electronic oriented bands Endraum play completely live. Only the rhythms often came from the DAT.

For the two-part German documentary " Hitler's deputy - Rise and Fall of Rudolf Hess " (first broadcast on May 18, 2005) produced a soundtrack specially end space. More music productions for German television followed ( " train to train " theme night on arte, first broadcast on May 31, 2005; " heard my heart The day when I " of the Hessischer Rundfunk, first broadcast on 4 July 2005 ).

After the first albums were released on the label Danse Macabre, founded her own label in 1994 Endraum Weisser autumn production, on which all other regular albums the group have appeared. The label has become a sub-label of Trisol Music Group and released to other bands such as The Frozen Autumn, End of Orgy and Sea of ​​Tranquility.
