About Adam Adam Moore: Guitarist, Composer, Songwriter, Singer, Educator, Musical Experimenter, Recording Engineer & Producer.
What gets him out of bed? Adam is driven to create the music he hears in his head, feels in his fingers, smells in his coffee and tastes on his tongue. In so doing he hopes to make your foot tap, your air guitar ring out, you brain ache, your fingers bleed and maybe push a tiny tear or two from your eye. If you should feel the need to understand Adam’s influences further then muse upon the following: As far as he knows he has no creative vision, although he does envision a lot of creations. He’s making it up as he goes along, but there is always an aim. He thinks playing guitar is the best fun you can have with a bit of wood. He knows that making new music is the most magical thing around and therefore making new music on guitar must be pretty great. His financial plan is to break even by the time he dies. Adam loves to play guitar on stage and works with just about anyone who’ll have him…provided he likes them…and they pay well…and the music’s good…and lunch is provided… What's he doing at the moment? In 2010 Adam is playing guitar live with The Amit Chaudhuri Band, playing guitar live and recording with Mary Lovett and the Cognoscenti, playing at functions with The Sally Taylor Band, playing guitar in Church & State and working on new solo material. What’s he made so far? Regent (2010, Evesound
Music)
What can he tell you? Since age fourteen Adam has been teaching in one form or another. His teaching philosophy is this: Attempting to make something for yourself will show you what all those lists of scales and chords are actually for. So let’s learn something and then try and make something with it. Adam currently teaches music at City College Norwich. Who told him what he knows? Adam thinks of himself as a self-taught musician whose has been helped along the way bysome excellent teachers.When he was little he was taught by a friend’s older brother who lived down the road, then he moved on to that guy’s mate who could play better and new lots of scales. Between the ages of thirteen and seventeen Adam got on and taught himself, then he went to a couple of classical teachers to fill in some gaps. In his early twenties, Adam attended Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft programme in the USA, UK and Spain. When his hungry little mind was ready for more Adam visited the great jazz guitarist Jasper Smith and then, in 2007, he headed off to Sweden to learn from Swedish metal legend Mattias IA Eklundh. What do other people think? "Melodic, innovation, exciting, experimental, daring, Vai, Batman, tone, funk, moving, harmony, jazzy, SRV, sliding, slippery, more, slippery." (Shredknowledge reviewing Regent) "The penultimate track is The Knot Garden. Here a mix of odd time signatures, fretless bass, synth and soaring lead lines combine to produce a memorable, multi-layered sound over which Adam plays some quite stunning lead." (Do Fret, reviewing Regent) "Adam creates uplifting music that sounds absolutely fresh and non-contrived……there’s a sense of balance and direction throughout both CD’s which gives his playing more than a frisson of genuine greatness." (Shred Reviews, reviewing Curious Liquid & Regent) “A thoroughly modern sound…treating the guitar fan to some wildly exotic licks.”(guitar9.com reviewing Curious Liquid) “Equally adept at riff-laden hard rock and gentle mood levellers, Adam is a writer/guitarist who will certainly appeal to the AOR fans who yearn for something of genuine lasting value.” (Musician Magazine reviewing Misty Mornings & Market Towns) "Paul Williams and Adam Moore delighted with a consistent dialogue...What will stay with me is the music; Amit’s band moved seamlessly through genres whilst retaining an individual style. The musicians worked together; measured, gauged and satisfyingly moved sounds into spaces between each other, as if achieving the perfect placement of colour on canvas." (London Jazz Review writing about an Amit Chaudhuri Band show in Oxford, 2010) "...it's rock solid, rocking guitar-led music with a sea of sizzling solos from start to finish, a series of tracks based around crisply produced and strong rhythms, and an album to which you warm quite happily, as its immediate charms become more long-lasting with every play." (Andy Garibaldi/Dead Earnest) What does he play? Adam plays Washburn, Fender and Ibanez electric guitars and Gibson, Ovation, Takamine and Taylor acoustic guitars. He has a Marshall amp, a few pedals and that’s about it.
...bye bye.
