first steps

Starting out with MusicMaker on the PlayStation 1, a number of tracks were created that combined samples with industrial structures. Since then, tracks have been (re)released from time to time, spanning a wide range of electronic music styles.

with a little help from AI

Modern technology makes it possible. With the help of AI, past and current handwritten song lyrics can be transformed into musical structures. Here and there, classic rework is still necessary, but it is now possible to express oneself through singing even if one cannot produce a single correct note. What is important to us, however, is that it is always our words, our feelings, our thoughts that the AI performs in song!


What does the band name mean

The project name reflects the diversity of genre that are used by the tracks: HO refers to the "Handelsorganisation" (Trade Organization) of the former GDR, a nod to the founder's East German roots, while Elektrowaren (electrical goods) symbolizes everything related to electronics.
