  • Bio

    Eliot Rose began recording music in 1999 under the name the Scientifics. In those early days he was a lo-fi Casio purist, singing songs about physics and love under lots of mid-range and tape hiss. Over the course of three albums The Scientifics' fidelity climbed higher and their numbers grew. It was an exhilarating time, but it ended in exhaustion after a 2004 tour that scattered bandmates across the states and left the Scientifics' future in doubt. In 2005, Eliot left the U.S., first to travel through Japan and then live in Romania for a year. During this time he learned to play the thumb piano and taught himself the homespun art of digital recording, continuing to engage in lots of trial and error upon returning to Portland. The resulting album, The Calculated Dream, released in August 2008, is full of peppy songs about longing, travel, pep itself, and death, buoyed up on on layers of synthesizer, thumb piano, sampled beats, and melodica. It is the first album to be released under Eliot's own name, as a personal guarantee of quality to all listeners.

    Hey Eliot! We came looking for you to see if you wanted to play a house show with us in Portland a couple of weeks ago, and saw that you packed up!

    We are playing a small show in San Francisco at Adobe Books on 3/20 with a couple of other artists, and you are cordially invited to attend. Feel free to bring friends. Maybe a meeting in San Francisco is in order after the missed chances in Portland? We will have our debut album in tow (should be available online in the next couple of weeks). Anyway, hope we see you there, Mr. Rose.
