Smartin Winner is a multilingual songwriter based in Berlin, Germany. His lyrics in English have been set to music by numerous artists including Mr Jones, Robert Hasleder, Hollis Brown, Hooked On Strings, and Dogon & The Sirius B.
In 2024, Smartin Winner released ‚Transesophageal Echoes, ‚ a collection of evocative poems exploring themes of love, identity, and cultural barriers. The collection weaves references to German authors, Texas songwriters or British New Wave bands and the East-West divide to create a rich, multilayered tapestry.
Winner employs intimate and often sensual imagery to delve into personal relationships, using everyday settings and encounters to reflect deeper emotional and physical connections.
The collection draws heavily on German cultural and historical contexts. References to the Berlin Wall and the division between East and West Germany serve as powerful symbols of overcoming barriers, both personal and societal. This is particularly evident in the title poem, ‚transesophageal echo, ‚ which alludes to Echo and the Bunnymen’s ‚Over the Wall‘ and themes from Jenny Erpenbeck’s and Christoph Hein’s work, emphasizing the struggle and triumph of bridging cultural divides.
Artificial Intelligence: Applied, not talked about. In this highly experimental book a lot of things are supported by AI: vocabulary, translation, graphic realization, the cover. An AI-supported summary and interpretation also led to interesting results.
