1.Please introduce yourself  

Hello I'm Drew Jarvie, from the Indie Rock Band, The Delerium Trees

2. How did you get into music?  

My father, who was an excellent cornet player, gave me a cornet just before my 6th birthday and I've never stopped playing since.

3. What instruments do you play?  

I play every brass instrument, my main instrument being cornet/trumpet/flugel (studied brass and piano along with composition at Uni), piano, keyboards and drums.

4. Who are your influences?  

Henry Purcell, Alban Berg, Nazareth, Simple Minds, The Blue Nile, Empire of the Sun, Glasvegas, The Avalanches, George Harrison, ELO


5. Tell us about your latest release  

Paradise Will Be is an album that deals with domestic, environmental, political and mental health issues. Some of the songs i.e Dark Clouds try to see it through the subjects eyes, others are more optimistic i.e Here Comes The Day. We do have a message and hopefully some people agree. Some of these issues will be expanded on during the next album.

6. Whats your songwriting process?

I just jot down lyrics and scribble down chords so I can write down a piano score later on, I carry manuscript paper everywhere. Here Comes The Day, was written entirely on top of Craigowl Hill overlooking Dundee.


7. Which musician/ artist would you most like to collaborate with & why?  

Jeff Lynne, as he is an outstanding songwriter and sees songs on a huge scale but at the same time can write simple catchy little songs. Also he has worked with some of the greatest songwriters with the Travelling Wilburys, especially George Harrison who probably is my favourite solo musician.

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

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...

GRANDE ARTIST?

ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES  (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK  (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE
