STRANGE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS?

These days there are a lot of musical instruments around. Here are some that you might not have heard of:


  • HYPERBASS FLUTE- Extremely rare flute, 15 Metres of piping, 4 octaves below the concert flute
  • SHARPSICHORD- Gargantuan pin-barrel harp, consists of 11 cylinders & pins strike the internal strings when they rotate
  • SEA ORGAN- This is in Zadar, Croatia. Tubes are underneath the marble steps, as the waves crash it creates music
  • CELLO HORN- This was first announced in 1936. The sound comes out of the horn by bowing the strings 
  • SINGING RINGING TREE- If you have been to Burnley, Lancashire you may of seen this musical instrument sculpture. It was introduced in 2006 & is made by a series of pipes which creates sound when the wind blows through them
  • CHEESE DRUMS- Yes really! lol
  • HYDRLAUPHONE- Underwater flute meets pipe organ? 
Yes there are other strange instruments about too

Until next time

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: JELLY CLEAVER

Hi! Everyone, this week's FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is the very talented  singer-songwriter, musician  & producer JELLY CLEAVER JELLY CLEAVER Please introduce yourself I’m a singer-songwriter, jazz guitarist and producer. I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment.   How did you get into music? I started playing guitar as soon as I could hold one pretty much because my dad was a guitar teacher, and I’ve always had a really deep connection to music. I’ve tried lots of different aspects of music out though, from leading an African singing and drumming ensemble to starting a rock band. I just love music in all its forms.   What instruments do you play? Guitar’s my first instrument but when I’m reco...

CUBASE & LOGIC PRO X- BYPASS ALL PLUGINS!

A few weeks ago someone posted in Facebook group about how to Bypass ALL plugins in Cubase 8.5. (As some of you may know i use Cubase 8.5 in the main studio). It's a lot quicker than turning off each individual plugin. Here's how to do this: CUBASE- Go to File  Key Commands  Mixer (Section) Bypass Inserts Type in box a key (e.g. B etc) Assign OK When you press that key all plugins should be bypassed on the mixer LOGIC PRO X- As far as i know at the moment you cannot just press one button/ key & turn all the plugins off simultaneously. You can row by row.  Here's a quick video tutorial : Hope this helps Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services) Youtube Instagram Soundbetter

THE SPHERE? MORE MERCHANDISE! BREAKING RECORDS?

 Hi! Everyone & welcome back to my blog. A new live entertainment venue opened last month called: THE SPHERE in Las Vegas. The first performer in residency is the band U2. THE SPHERE are planning between 4- 6 residencies a year. You may have seen the LED display around the outside (which looks very spectacular). Lets talk about the state-of-the -art sound-system known as 'Sphere Immersive Sound' (powered by 'Holoplot').  This is the worlds most advanced concert-grade audio system. The venue is 160,000 square foot with around 17,500 seats.  The sphere features: 167,000 amplified loudspeaker drivers 1600 Hotpot loudspeaker modules (around the sphere) 3D Beam Forming Sound etc ('Sphere Immersive Sound' I think was first used for the 'Beacon Theatre' on a smaller scale) This could be the future for live concert venues. That could be really good. MERCHANDISE- Ive added more 80s/ retro inspired  'Merchandise' to my store. Click here . I will be add...
