S T R I P E S EP

Curtain Blue releases his latest project S.T.R.I.P.E.S via Export Quality Records. S.T.R.I.P.E.S is a truly eclectic project, with electronica at its essence. Curtain Blue does not shy away from using unconventional sounds such as retro video game sounds, bells, broken trumpets percussion that sounds like shutters etc. across the EP. The versatility and attention to detail that he wields is evident in this EP as he goes from the dancefloor favourite ‘Right Into You’ to the more sombre and emotional ‘All for you’. The tasteful sampling and processing of various instruments, such as the vocals and trumpets, to name a few, is a common link across the wide-ranging sounds on this EP.

All the tracks on S.T.R.I.P.E.S are accompanied by videos made by talented independent videographers from across India. The EP is an audio-visual experience told through the medium of videos which will be released across the span of 4 weeks.
The video for ‘Right into you’, shot by Lendrick Kumar Productions and Directed by Madhavan Krishnesh, a video team that is at the forefront of the indie music space being a standout. They have used 3D photogrammetry (a process of taking many photographs of an object from a variety of angles and stitching them together to create a 3D model) to make a model of Curtain Blue featured in it.
“The past 3 years for me have been all about embracing myself and getting to know my self better. Having the time alone in hand did help with that.
The EP Stripes is a compilation of 4 of the many tracks I have written at the time. It’s a complete mood swing from “Right Into you” that talks about my first confident interaction with a
make belief partner to “all for you” that reads out an ugly page from a book of my relationship with my real partner.
It’s been a weird, anxious, stressful but a beautiful self journey and i can’t wait for you to get to know me better” - Curtain Blue
