In the beginning Adam Moore, guitarist and songwriter extraordinaire, began. He did begin with many notes played close together, much contorting of the facial features and with feet spread far apart. Thusly, Curious Liquid did come to pass and it was jolly good and indeed rather curious. The music was most bountiful and a radiant shower of notes and beats and slides and bends and twiddly bits did rain down upon the gathering multitude and other such hackneyed biblical references.
Then one day the notes did begin to move further apart, rather like planets in an ever-expanding universe...possibly. Simultaneously, and in order to fill the over expanding void of notelessness, Adam’s feet did move closer together. This inexorable motion marked the end of the beginning and Misty Mornings and Market Townscame into existence. The music was magnificent, magical, magnanimous, magnetic, its artwork Magna Carter-like and so on and so forth.
Then, oh good people of the universe, the beginning began to become middle-shaped and Endless Clamour did issue forth from the notelessness …and it was good. The music was deep, warm and smooth.
Now the fourth beginning is birthing the great Regent, a creature of statistically high note density and unparalleled majesty. Soon it will be crowning and available to everyone in the universe.
About Adam
Adam Moore was born in England in 1980 and has since become an extreme guitarist, composer, singer, songwriter, educator, musical experimenter & 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, brain ache, 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 clearly making it up as he goes along. He thinks playing guitar is the best fun you can have with a bit of wood. He knows 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 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.
Who told him what he knows?
Adam thinks of himself as a self-taught musician whose has been helped along the way by some 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?
“A thoroughly modern sound…treating the guitar fan to some wildly exotic licks.” (guitar9.com)
“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)

… “His influences are many and run the gamut from Renaissance intimate Gazpar Sanz’s counterpoints to contemporary electro-symphonic and from classical forms to flashy modern fusion styles like Alan Holdsworth’s. He aims at bringing together and drawing parallels between styles and universes that may at first appear at odds with one another.”
