Australian flexrocker singlehandedly writes and produces all the music from Armidale NSW. Richard W. Rummery has created a unique fusion of style and genre, song and idea designated by the term Flexrock. Easily accessible, it reveals its hidden depths in time with each song a world within itself addressed to the listener, and not to other music. As an all-rounder, or specialist generalist with a passion for knowledge in diverse areas, Rummery is a distinguished Philosopher whose specializations include The Psychology of Philosophy, Music, Sound and Mind, Cultural Psychology, Technology and Self-production; he has written, and published extensively including the world's first definitive account on the Concept of Narcissism, which he has analysed as a Meta-concept which has purchase and relevance to every branch of the tree of Philosophy, and indeed all humanity. His major work on Identity, Subjectivity and Language: Cliché: Seizure of the Imagination, which advances the work of Dutch Sociologist Anton Zidjefeld, has been widely lauded as an essential analysis and critique of the supercedure of meaning by function. Rummery's rare live performances reveal many facets of his extraordinary multi-dimensional abilities as songwriter, multi-musician and performer. Influenced by Bowie, Gabriel, Fixx, U2, Genesis and Frank Zappa, Rummery "mines and develops new possibilities in musical structure and theme, psycho-musicological and visceral, achieving a unified organisation of sound and word which speaks for itself, just as it speaks to the listener, for which his music is created." (D.S Stierfeild, Music Critic, The Canadian Musician, Feb. 2016)

"Rummery is perhaps the world's first bona fide Pop Philosppher, .... whose unique approach to music as essential communication breathes fire into the hope that corporate methods, marketing pragmatics, piracy and music theft by individuals will not halt the evolution of 'organised sound'. Ultimately these contrary interests to a non-profit way of life will fail to distort or even destroy the social and individual viability for life that is presented in musical forms." Robert B. Strongthorpe, Clandestine Arts Review Quarterly, May, 2016
