Key Information

Ed Rose is an American sound engineer and record producer. He has worked extensively with groups in the modern emo and pop punk scenes. He also co-owns Black Lodge Recording with Rob Pope and his brother Ryan Pope, members of the emo band the Get Up Kids.[1]

History

[edit]

Rose held an interest in sound recording in his high school years, which was nurtured by his family. One year he got a Fostex X-15 recorder for Christmas. The next year he moved up to a Fostex 250, which he still uses. His interest in sound recording continued to grow, and he decided to attend the Full Sail Center for the Recording Arts. He interned at Studio 55 in Los Angeles. After an ownership change, he left Studio 55 and tried freelancing for six months. However, he found himself doing more technical setup than engineering, so he moved to Lawrence, Kansas, in 1991 to attend the University of Kansas to get a degree in electrical engineering. He was soon approached by a friend who asked him to record a demo for his band. They recorded at Redhouse Recording.[2] He enjoyed working there, so the owners offered him a job. His first session recording was with a local band called Slackjaw. The members of the band took a liking to Rose, so they began spreading the word and helping him get work. A year later, he dropped out from school and became a full-time partner in the studio.[3]

He has worked in New Zealand, Japan, and Australia (where he recorded Heartbreak Club).[3]

On December 6, 2012, Rose announced he will be no longer making records after the 2013 calendar year. The Black Lodge Studios is up for sale.[3]

Black Lodge Studios

[edit]

In 2003, Rose with the help of all the members of the Get Up Kids renovated the old Redhouse Recording studio to create Black Lodge Studios.[4] The studios, named in reference to David Lynch's television show Twin Peaks,[5] is located in Eudora, Kansas.

The building itself was entirely renovated, and all the old recording equipment was replaced with new, top-of-the-line equipment. The Get Up Kids' studio album Guilt Show was the first album to be recorded there, and since then the studio has thrived, having been the studio used for the albums I Am the Movie by Motion City Soundtrack,[6] Killed or Cured by the New Amsterdams, and A Collection of Short Stories by Houston Calls.

The studio also holds several recording workshops during the course of a year, allowing producing hopefuls to earn hands-on experience with real equipment in a real studio setting.[7] Both local and signed acts record at Black Lodge.[8]

Early life

Birth and background

Little is publicly known about Ed Rose's early life and background. There is no verified information available on his birth date, place, parents, siblings, education, or childhood activities.

Songwriting career

Entry into songwriting

Ed Rose began his career as a lyricist in the early 1900s, primarily associated with the popular music publishing scene in Chicago, a key center for songwriting and sheet music production during that era. Detailed records of his initial entry into the profession remain limited, with few surviving accounts of his earliest publications, earnings, or precise starting point. One of the earliest documented examples of his work dates to 1908, when he collaborated with composer Ted Snyder on the song "If You Cared for Me," which served as Snyder's first publication after establishing his own publishing house in New York. This partnership indicates Rose was already working professionally as a lyricist by the late 1900s, likely building on connections within the music industry transitioning from regional hubs like Chicago to broader markets. The scarcity of comprehensive biographical or archival material from this formative period leaves much of Rose's early development obscure, with surviving evidence primarily tied to specific collaborations rather than a clear timeline of his debut.

Major collaborations and peak period

Ed Rose's peak period as a songwriter occurred during the late 1910s, particularly around 1917 amid the World War I-era popular music boom that increased demand for sentimental and upbeat songs. ) His most prominent collaboration was with composer Abe Olman, resulting in the major hit "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" published in 1917, which became one of the era's defining popular successes. ) This partnership highlighted Rose's ability to craft memorable lyrics for commercially viable tunes during a time of heightened music consumption. Earlier in his career, Rose had significant collaborations, including a long-term partnership with composer Ted Snyder from the mid-1900s through the 1910s, with whom he co-founded the publishing firm Rose & Snyder Co. in 1906 and produced numerous songs. ) However, his work with Olman represented the height of his commercial impact. The complete list of Rose's collaborators remains incomplete in historical records, as many Tin Pan Alley songwriters frequently partnered with various composers without comprehensive documentation. )
