Dominik Eulberg is a German born in Westerwald in 1978, a beautiful region where he grew up surrounded by nature. Now he lives in Bonn where he is studying biology and geography and is used to work as a ranger in the occasional nature park.
At the age of fifteen he started to collect vinyls and to DJ, and a couple of years later he bought his first equipment for these tasks. From then on, his career has led him to be considered one of the leading exponents of minimal culture in recent years. Besides music, nature is obviously the most important thing for him and also provides the inspiration for his songs.
His first releases appeared on Traum Schallplatten, and later he has also released on other labels such as Cocoon, Raum, Trapez, Herblutz or K7! As a remixer, he has been in demand, and his very long list includes names like DJ Hell, Roman Flügel, Le Dust Sucker, Tiefschwarz, Einmusik, Oliver Koletzki or Nathan Fake.
He has always been an artist who has swum against the tide, without getting carried away by mainstream fashions and always looking for that personal and unmistakable stamp.
Now he has released his sixth album, Avichrom. This artificial word means “bird colours”, and once again the inspiration comes from nature, from fauna and especially from birds. Thus, all the songs are named after birds: Grünfink (green finch), Goldregenpfeifer (golden plover), Blaumeise (blue tit), Purpurreiher (purple heron) or Schwarzhalstaucher (black-necked grebe).
The demos of the songs were created during two weeks in the winter of the first quarantine because of the Covid and in the following months they were finished, arranged and mixed.
Avichrom is another magnificent work of sonic art, in which the rhythm appears full of brightness and colour, with many of its tracks designed for dancing like Braunkehlchen or Gelbspötter along with some mid tempos like Blaumeise perfect for relaxing.
“In the end, making music is nothing more than selecting from an infinite number of options,” says Dominik, “and in this sense the birds helped me to find a common thread in the midst of all those possibilities.
