The Most Relaxing Song In The World, Ever!

By -

Scientists from British Academy of Sound Therapy got together with Marconi Union and formed what they are calling the most relaxing song in the world.
Its use of slow melodic pulses and eary build ups really get you sinking into your chair with a feeling of nostalgia you probably only heard before conception.

The song features guitar, piano and manipulated field recordings. It is punctuated throughout by low tones that supposedly induce a trance-like state. This propelled the band into the media spotlight and news reports, and was reported in newspapers worldwide.
Characteristically, MU declined almost all requests for interviews with the exception of a brief interview with Jarvis Cocker, during which they explicitly stated that they refused to make any claims about the so called therapeutic properties of the track, their interest in the project had been limited to the process of writing it in collaboration with the sound therapy professionals and they had set about making a piece of music they liked. They had taken no part in the testing, and that all the claims made about Weightless came from scientists and the media. Since then they have reverted to type and declined all further interview requests. inf:Wikipedia

Song Writing Tips & Tricks

By -
  There are literally hundreds of different methods used to write a song, and every musician has tailored their own rhyme and reason of doing things. Sometimes it’s as easy as playing some piano and having the words write themselves, or it can start with a poem and a mission to find the right music to fit it. I have compiled some of the ways I have come across to write your own music. Please keep in mind that these are only a few of many different ways to come up with your own material, and these are great ways to learn. But you get much more satisfaction if you start from scratch. Enjoy, and I hope this helps.   Scaffolding Stuck? Here’s an old trick to get you going. What a good song offers is structure, repetition, form and balance. Not always easy to create, but easy to borrow. You can build on the form of another song, without sounding at all like that song. Much as a scaffold is used to frame a skyscraper — the scaffold may look familiar, but once removed yields a unique b

Tips On Starting A Band

    Once you're confident enough with your talent to actually form a band, start looking for people who'd be willing to join you. Ask friends and have them spread the word that you're looking for bandmates. If this doesn't reap any results, place an ad in the newspaper or on billboards at local colleges (if you don't mind young members). There has to be harmony in a band — both when it comes to the genre of music you want to play and personal relationships. Remember that your bandmates will be with you through thick and thin so they should be people you trust, creatively and personally. As well, a band needs a good leader, and although that role is oftentimes assumed by the singer, this rule isn't carved in stone. Upon the formation of the band, discuss with your partners what kind of goals you have with this venture and make sure that everybody agrees. Do you want the band to be nothing more than a Sunday afternoon distraction? Do you want to make a reco

Who Were The Highest Rockers Of Rock N Roll? Back when sex and drugs were still a part of rock-n-roll, these legends of rock wrote the book, ripped out the pages and rolled them into a joint. No one is glorifying drug use or dying in a bloody pool of your own vomit. However, it was once not only accepted but expected for musicians to live a life of excess. The mere mortals of the world could live vicariously through these rock gods. Here are 20 of the most drugged-out musicians of the rock and roll era: 1. Keith Richards Rolling Stones   guitarist, Keith Richards, who has frequently made music magazines’ top ten musicians most likely to die, is not ready to dance with Mr. D quite yet. He has spent time with sister morphine, her brother heroin, cousin cocaine and the rest of the family, all while creating a fifty year rock dynasty with partner in crime, Mick Jagger. Despite a life lived as the poster child for rock-n-roll excess, he never overdosed, for which he a
