R.E.D. is the acronym for Ray Emitting Diodes whom chooses to remain anonymous and may live somewhere in space for all we know with a list of songs that feel like they were written from an orbiting satellite looking down on earth.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">R.E.D. explains,<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;When I create music my goal is to encourage the listener to use his\/her imagination. I hope my music will take you to another world. Listen and enjoy.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">His single &#8216;Orbiting&#8217; begins with open and spacious synth melodies that are accompanied by a minimal ambient percussion beat and passionate heartfelt lyrics that leave the imagination wandering.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Orbiting by R.E.D.\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F217545740&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=960&#038;maxwidth=640\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The song&#8217;s instrumentation remains open, dark, and mysterious while the vocalist&#8217;s words seem to float in space around the sparse melodies of synth and guitar. Suddenly the song builds and brightens up as it reaches a rock style climax with synth melodies and layering which make for an excellent contrast to the beginning. \u00a0The video adds to the song&#8217;s emotion as it begins very dark with vague distant lights and then brightens and moves more steadily with increased images just as the music does.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">R.E.D.&#8217;s &#8216;Orbiting&#8217; has a sound and style reminiscent to early 70&#8217;s sci-fi synth music and later synth heavy Pink Floyd albums.
