Der Buchdrucker
Dominik Eulberg // Traum Schallplatten
Format
// 12"
"Der Buchdrucker" (Iat. typographus) translated means: spruce bark beetle. The spruce engraver is probably the biggest pest of Norway spruce in Europe. The beetles are termed "aggressive" by forest entomologists because hundreds to thousands of beetles cooperate in an attack of one or a few adjacent spruce trees until they kill them. The spruce bark beetle as aggressive as it is, has also a beautiful side to it, it shapes wonderful patterns in the form of a maze on the trees surface while it kills the tree This might be misleading path of thought when referring to the music of Dominik Eulbergs new record on Traum. His two new tracks are not aggressive but euphoric open air slammers. They create goose pimples when the strings come into action. "Der Buchdrucker" is a party crasher in a big way, again a bit different from its predecessors, more "Detroit" more dry, less playful. The record of course still holds sounds from the flora & fauna for which Dominik is known for. This time Dominik experimented with sounds from the forest. The outcome are two very different tracks. The a side track "Der Buchdrucker" works directly towards the exploding melody and the b side track "Björn Borkenkäfer" has a strong, classic Detroit influence
