Juste a guy doing some meaningful music, at least for himself.

my name is Rory and I am a guitarist living in london. London and everywhere seems to so stressful, we are living in a devided world, I'm at An age where the TV stress's my day, but recording music from the way I'm feeling keeps me on my toes and feet just about on the ground, it's my way of going to that quiet desert island of no stress.
I've been writing songs for around about 30 years and  enjoy making. music. 
when i put songs together i do it based on my mood at the time, ill play 1 part and ill hear the rest in my head. often it can be the smallest thing that lights the spark, from a life experience to the sound of someone playing drums whatever it is i'm recording and writing. it is a positive thing in my life and i will never quit doing it. My infuences are jimi hendrix, led zeppelin, rolling stones, nirvana, chili peppers. jimmy page,pink floyed.

I also once found an old water damaged classical acoustic nylon string guitar when i was potless, I stringed it up with steel strings and recorded half the songs i uploaded on soundcloud. however i now have the 
needed items for recording with. thanks for listening. i will be making some huge differences to what i post, i.e better recording equipment and a wider range of instruments. the first instruments i learned to play were the drums. no place better to be in a band. I have recently been performing at park events, you can find me youtube by using this link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6MO1JbgsBOj8P7rgQdv_FA

   The adaptive unconscious is the phenomenon of your unconscious mind making a decision that could drastically change your life in a matter of a second. For instance, you are driving on the freeway, & you feel the urge to switch lanes but not for any particular reason. All of a sudden the car that was in front of you prior, crashes & causes a pile up. Had you stayed in that lane, your life could have come to an end. It’s the unknown desire to do something, & not knowing why. It’s almost a psychic pull from deep within us, that we all have, or will experience. 

   I’ve been writing since 2006, I started out using nothing but presets, a cheap mic, & no idea what I was doing. To this day, I still have no idea what I’m doing. I have gone through quite the list of names for myself such as “Fall Of Icarus, Ouroboros, Prophet Six, & Echo Lost Stasis” to name a few. I held on to “Prophet Six” for years as merely a placeholder. The Prophet 6000 was a synthesizer in the 80’s that could play 6 sounds at once. I got attached to “Adaptive Unconscious” because it spoke to me, not just because of the meaning, but because of my music, it’s almost asleep, as it is alive, which is what I take from these two words. I record in my closet using yet another cheap mic, and some reference speakers and a good amount of plug-ins, other than that I am basically doing it all the hard way. Everything is input with a mouse, I don’t play anything live. So if you are hearing a piano playing, that could have taken days to do, because I have to arrange each note one by one, and try to get it to sound authentic. I also have a knack for making my own samples & mucking up the sound digitally somehow. I'll take everyday items and make them into something much more. For instance, a spoon in a glass, or dragging my nails down a guitar string.

   If you are taking the time to listen, please know that I appreciate the time you take, & all I ask is to keep your mind open with it. This has always been about longing to connect with the listener, to find understanding in a stranger by letting them tap into my personal self, or perhaps tap into theirs, with no means of being invasive. If any of the trials I have had to face could possibly help someone through theirs, then it was never for nothing. The more I progress in life, & music the more I learn and grow...so it's all a great path, & one I am happy to share.

If you're looking to collaborate/remix/feature me, send me a message :)
