History Rose held an interest in sound recording in his high school years, which was nurtured by his family. One year he got a FostexX-15 recorder for Christmas. The next year he moved up to a Fostex250, 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 Studio55 in Los Angeles. After an ownership change, he left Studio55 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.The Simple Demands of Ed Rose . 30 Music, August 13, 2003. 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.
He has worked in New Zealand, Japan, and Australia (where he recorded Heartbreak Club).
Black Lodge Studios 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. The studios, named in reference to David Lynch's television show Twin Peaks, 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, 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. Both local and signed acts record at Black Lodge.Small Town, Big Sounds . Kansan.com, April 24, 2008.
On December6, 2012, Rose announced he will be no longer making records after the 2013 calendar year. The Black Lodge Studios is up for sale.
