Recorded in Coverdale when it was steadily raining, though the pic is of the Aysgarth Falls just before it absolutely hammered down. Two instances of Fab Filter’s ‘Timeless’ delay here, subtly on the Dreadbox Typhon’s bass sequence, big on the rather loose EP arpeggio, itself played by Ioniarics. Moral of the story? Always take an iPad and a synth when you go on holiday…

The Knocks II

spider rise

Strange. Written in 2005 in my old studio in preston lancs.

THERES NO LIMIT

We’re gonna have a good time

Serendipity. I needed something from my old iPad Mini, which is pretty much useless as it cannot go beyond iOS 9. However, browsing the few apps that remain, my eye was caught by Alchemy, a classic soft synth long since swallowed up and spat out by garridgeband. Having had a bit of a noodle, I felt I ought to restore purchases- and there, tucked away where I had never seen it before, was an Xmas patch. It was all the inspiration I needed.

The pic is of yer actual Rory the Border, taken a few 25 Decs ago,wearing his Xmas ribbon and his best Wandsworth* face. And rest assured that I will not be doing this again- having used every Xmas trope (with the exception of a school choir) on this piece I have neither urge nor need to do this again. But everyone’s got to record at least one Xmas number, do they not?

(* the skool dog. Disappointingly, there’s nothing on Google- repository of everything my ass)

A Rory the Border Xmas

Rory the Border Studios is located in the heart of rural Suffolk, UK, and produces hand-made guitars under the RtB brand, as well as a growing and diverse collection of (hopefully) original music. I had been uploading this to SC under the name Brownfield, but that was confusing an awful lot of people (three separate names?), so the artiste name is now simply the short form of the studio name, and also aligns with the YouTube channel name- to which I have recently started uploading again- ‘Wal RtB Studios’. 

Please note that any guitar that you hear on any of these tracks was made, on the premises, by me. Not that I’m showing off or anything...
