Album Notes

Frank Bossert is a composer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and ever-restless creative spirit from the far north of Germany.

Having grown up in Hamburg, he has been working on his project EUREKA in his studio for more than a decade now. Under this name Frank has been producing three CDs so far.

The beginning stage of EUREKA albums takes place in the microcosm of the studio, with Frank playing and recording most of the instruments, from his striking guitar to drums, by himself. It is only during the final stage of a CD production when guest musicians join in, adding yet another level with their rather exotic instruments and vocal performances.

But the most important instrument in EUREKA is the guitar. Frank’s colourful, lyrical playing is the key to the unmistakable sound of EUREKA.

„The Compass Rose”, was a collaboration of nearly a dozen different musicians. This way, musical adventures arise, when flamenco guitars meet celtic flutes, Landsknecht drums arrange grooving races and keyboards melt with oriental percussion instruments, forming soundscapes rarely ever heard before.
