Closed Eyes Recordings (CER011) 

Rose’s 11th EP on the label. Containing 3 techno tracks

The overall concept of this EP named “in times of disbelief” is inspired by the incredible changes in the world of the last months. People are fearful, governments are in crisis and the world has come to a stop, all these changes feel surreal and put many people in a state of distrust. The tracks are the base of these feelings and concepts. 

The first track named “Out of Sync” follows a strong arpeggiated mono synth line which goes in and out of sync constantly. The track follows a steady groove and gets opened in the big break down by an 8 chord progression leading into a big euphoric synth space. Then followed by a big unison polysynth which almost sounds like a guitar, playing an arp which is also changing in speed and synchronization. Then finally gets back to the main groove and follows this on steadily. 

The second track named: “What are you waiting for” is just like the first track along, emotive techno track which moves from a strong and powerful beat to emotive chord progressions. The overall slow buildup and repetitive melody make this something special, which could be lifting a room of dancers to a new level. A perfect closing set end track as Rose would call it. 

The Third track named “Lies” is somewhat slower on the energy and induces a darker feeling. The piano chords give the track rose’s signature. The track slowly builds to a climax where the synth line changes to some sort of Arabic tone ladder. The heavy low end of this track gives you that “oomph” feeling we all like so much in Techno.

Why we exist 
Closed Eyes Recordings delivers stories through sound. With these stories, we want to create an impactful experience for our listeners. We believe meaningful stories help you guide you through the highs and lows in life. Stories like this are the most valuable for us in a piece of music. It’s this music that makes you close your eyes and experience the most beautiful thing in life: being.

What we aim for
Closed Eyes Recordings releases only those records resonate with your deeper feelings. We aim to release an artist’s most personal work; music that has a deeply special meaning for them. This could be a passed away loved one, an exciting memory of their youth or any other meaningful feeling or thought they get when listening to their work.

In our vision, the only valuable criticism stems from the feeling a record evokes among its listeners. Those who try to single-handedly evaluate music by rationally overanalysing it, miss the purpose of music itself: extricate emotions.

What we look for
The sound should never be perfect because life isn’t perfect itself. 
We love raw, vintage and imperfect sounds, and yes we are suckers for the melody. Unexpectedness is key within our sound and we prefer simplicity over complexity. Music is a feeling, not an equation.
