BIOGRAPHY + PHILOSOPHY |
Many artists these days follow a single vision. Under pressure from their labels, they are forced to perform exactly the same style of music, album after album. Rock bands will always release rock records, pop bands will always release pop records, and so on. And while the sound of many bands does mature over time, it's exceedingly rare that an artist will step outside the constraints of their genre and start afresh with something completely original. For example, we shall never see Cat Stevens play death metal, Eminem taking up jazz or The Goo Goo Dolls creating the latest trance anthem taking the clubbing scene by storm.
Eyes Half Closed was formed to do just that. I wanted to prove that the same person that crafted gentle piano compositions could be capable of hard rock; the same artist that wrote wrote pumping dance tracks could create a progressive rock epic. I've created and shaped the music over what can be any period of time; some pieces are fully formed in minutes, others take weeks, months, even years before I'm satisfied with the final result. While the name 'Eyes Half Closed' has meaning on many different levels, it's also a reference to when inspiration comes; often late at night. Sleep must wait, when the ideas are flowing.

SUPPORT So, as you've probably noticed, all of my music here is free to download. However I am a student, with bills to pay and creating music takes both time and money. I don't want to charge for my music; not everyone is in the position to pay. Anyway, I think the expectation to buy music before you've heard it is absurd. If you have enjoyed the music though, make sure to come back and donate what you think the music is worth to you. It doesn't have to be much and even a dollar or two helps me to upgrade my equipment and improve my sound. Thanks :)
