THE EARTH HARP!

The 'Earth Harp' is the largest stringed instruments in the world. It was created by William Close in around 1999. The first time the 'Earth Harp' was installed it the strings were around 1000 ft long, from one side of a valley to another. How is it played? The player wears violin rosin gloves & runs their hands alomg the strings to create cello like tones. There are a few videos on youtube demonstrating 'The Earth Harp'.   Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services)

THE SHEPHERD TONE

Have you seen 'The Neverending Staircase (or 'Penrose Staircase') picture? 'The Shepherd Tone' is the kind of audio version of that picture. It is named after Roger Shepherd. What is it? It is an audio sound of overlapping waves separated by octaves. It creates an illusion that an audio tone ascends or descends in pitch but never seems to get any higher or lower. It has also been described as a 'Sonic Barbers Pole'. Heres 2 examples of 'The Shepherd Tone' Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services)

'DARK TIMES' EP

Over the past year i started recording what i thought would be another album. However, as i started writing songs i noticed that some songs turned out with a different kind of feel to others. I thought it would probably be best to split the songs & record 2 EP's instead. The first is called: 'Dark Times' EP. You can hear it here (Image © copyright Law Wood, July 2014) The next EP is due end of 2014/ early 2015.   Until next time Law   Official Website LW MUSIC SERVICES Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services)  

A FLOATING SPEAKER?

Today there is lots of various audio speakers to choose that suits all budgets etc. So what about a floating bluetooth speaker? Om Audio have created just that, the Om/ one. The speaker itself is round & comes with a base. The om/ one levitates above the base, using a magnetic base. It looks impressive. What does it sound like? Well at the moment it has not yet been released. Due December 2014.     Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services)
