Limited Edition reproduction art prints produced by the artists Tim Wakefield and Gary Brandham on behalf of the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Trust. The technique captures and utilises the digital screen soundwaves that are created when music is played in the studio. Each image has been enlarged and enhanced to create contemporary artwork of various colour-ways. The images have then been approved and signed by some of the world's most famous music artists including Pink Floyd, Coldplay, George Michael, Sir Paul MaCartney, Status Quo, Dido, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Abba, The Bee Gees, Nick Mason, Snow Patrol, KT Tunstall, Joan Armatrading.
The Soundwaves project helps raise funds for the Nordoff Robbins Charity that promotes the use of music therapy to help individuals, groups and communities who are challenged by disability or injustice. Music therapy uses the qualities of music to help children and adults live more creatively and resourcefully in the face of illness, disability or traumatic experiences. Music therapy has a unique way of reaching out to many individuals who previously have struggled to express themselves or show reactions in more normal ways. Therapy takes place in schools, hospitals, day centres or purpose-built facilities.
The Soundwaves Project aims to contribute in excess of a million pounds over the next 2 years to this worthy cause through auctions and celebrity events.
Soundwaves Art prints are stunning artworks created from digital images formed in the recording process of famous tracks from major bands. Each artwork is HAND SIGNED by the musicians and the collection features some of the greatest songs and artists of all times.
Imagine an artwork whose basis is the heartbeat of a song. Each unique soundwaves creation begins life in the recording studio as a digital pattern formed by the instruments and voices that make up a song. A technique has been devised to enlarge and customise these images, transforming them into large pieces of beautiful contemporary art. It began presenting these to some of the world's top musicians, songwriters and bands to ask if they would become involved in the project. Many have now taken part enthusiastically in Soundwaves. Working with the musicians the task then is to interpret their chosen song and ask them to approve the finished image which best represents their music. Once this is done a Limited Edition run of between 5 and 50 prints are produced, which are then all individually hand signed by the musicians. These are then given their edition number.
As part of the Soundwaves initiative artwork is donated for the fundraising efforts of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. Please call to find out more about their amazing work and the services they provide.
Bands and artists who have taken part or agreed to work on Soundwaves include:
Sir Paul McCartney, Jamie Cullum, George Michael, Pink Floyd, Westlife, Slash, Bon Jovi, The Bee Gees, Kate Bush, Joss Stone, KT Tunstall, Status Quo, Joan Armatrading, The Dixie Chicks, Willie Nelson, Thin Lizzy, The Clash, The Stranglers, Lilly Allen, James Blunt, Depeche Mode, The Killers, Gary Numan, Tina Turner, The Black Keys, Mark Knopfler, Texas The Cure, The Fratellis, Kings Of Leon, Jimmy Buffet, Take That, Bryan Ferry, Bryan Adams, Squeeze, Tom Petty, Abba Corrine Bailey Rae, Iron Maiden, The Chemical Brothers, Procol Harum, The Everly Brothers, Queen, Wet Wet Wet, Alice Cooper, Elbow.

![Alice Cooper has to be one of rock's most enduring stars of all time. Reknowned for his amazing live shows featuring guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood and snakes Alice peaked in the 70's with albums like Billion Dollar Babies and Love It To Death. "Schools Out " was one of Alice's biggest hits and Alice Cooper signed 50 copies of the print with the artist at London's St James club in the summer of 2009 whilst promoting his forthcoming UK Tour.

"School's Out" is a 1972 title track single released on Alice Cooper's fifth album.
Cooper has said he was inspired to write the song when answering the question, "What's the greatest three minutes of your life?". Cooper said: "There's two times during the year. One is Christmas morning, when you're just getting ready to open the presents. The greed factor is right there. The next one is the last three minutes of the last day of school when you're sitting there and it's like a slow fuse burning. I said, 'If we can catch that three minutes in a song, it's going to be so big.'"
Cooper has also said it was inspired by a line from a Bowery Boys movie. On his radio show, "Nights with Alice Cooper," he joked that the main riff of the song was inspired by a song by Miles Davis.[2]
The lyrics of "School's Out" indicate that not only is the school year ended for summer vacation, but ended forever, and that the school itself has been blown up. It incorporates the childhood rhyme, "No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks" into its lyrics. It also featured children contributing some of the vocals.
"School's Out" became Alice Cooper's first major hit single, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and propelling the album to #2 on the Billboard 200 pop albums chart. The song reached #1 on the UK singles chart for three weeks in August 1972. It also marked the first time that Alice Cooper became regarded as more than just a theatrical novelty act.
The single version of the song is a mono audio mix of the album version with one major difference - the "turn-off" effect used upon the school bell and sound effects at the end of the album version is not used on the single version, allowing the school bell and effects to simply fade out. A palm-muted guitar track is also much more prevalent at the beginning of the single version.
In 2004, "School's Out" was ranked #319 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 2009 it was named the 35th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.

![The Beach Boys, an American rock band formed in 1961 by Brian Wilson, gained popularity for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a Southern California youth culture of cars, surfing, and romance. Brian Wilson's growing creative ambitions later transformed The Beach Boys into a more artistically innovative group that earned critical praise and influenced many later musicians.
The group was initially composed of singer, musician, composer Brian Wilson, his brothers, Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. This core quintet, along with early member David Marks and later bandmate Bruce Johnston, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 1988.
The Beach Boys have often been called "America's Band", and Allmusic.com has stated that "The Beach Boys's unerring ability... made them America's first, best rock band." The Beach Boys has had thirty-six U.S. Top 40 hits (the most of any U.S. rock band) and fifty-six Hot 100 hits, including four number one singles. Rolling Stone magazine listed The Beach Boys as number 12 in the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[5] According to Billboard, in terms of singles and album sales, The Beach Boys are the No. 1-selling American band of all time.
Many changes in both musical styles and personnel have occurred during The Beach Boys's career, notably because of Brian Wilson's mental illness and recreational drug use (leading to his eventual withdrawal from the group) and the deaths of Dennis and Carl Wilson in 1983 and 1998, respectively. Extensive legal battles between The Beach Boys members have also played their part. After the death of Carl Wilson, founding member Al Jardine was ousted by fellow-founding member Mike Love. Currently, the surviving members of The Beach Boys continue to tour in three separate bands - "The Beach Boys Band" with Love, Johnston, and a rotation of backing musicians; Al Jardine's "Endless Summer Band" with Jardine, his sons, and several former Beach Boys backup musicians; and Brian Wilson with a 10-piece band including members of The Wondermints and longtime Beach Boys backup guitarist/singer Jeff Foskett. Love retained the rights to the name "The Beach Boys" after a legal dispute.

![Lily Rose Beatrice Allen (born 2 May 1985) is an English recording artist, talk show host, and actress. Lily Allen is the daughter of actor and musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Lily Allen had a challenging childhood, without stable residence, and had been a pupil in 13 different school institutions until the age of 15. Lily Allen teenage years comprised her evolution in musical tastes, from glam rock to alternative. Lily Allen ran away from home to attend the Glastonbury Festival at the age of fourteen. A year later, Lily Allen abandoned school and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. Afterwards, Lily Allen created several demo songs, and near the end of 2005[citation needed], Lily Allen created a profile on MySpace, where she made some of her recordings public.
A contract was signed with the label Regal Recordings, as the views on MySpace rose to tens of thousands. In 2006, Lily Allen began to work on completing what would be her first studio album and its first mainstream single "Smile" reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. Lily Allen debut record, Alright, Still, was well received on the international market, selling over 2.6 million copies and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She then began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three.
Her second major album release, It's Not Me, It's You, saw a genre shift for her, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one. The album debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts and was appreciated by the critics, noting the singer's musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the hit singles "The Fear" and "Fuck You", popular mostly in Europe. Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse have been credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed "year of the women" in 2009 that has seen five female artists making music of "experimentalism and fearlessness" long nominated for the Mercury Prize. In September 2009, Lily Allen stated that she sees no way that she could ever make a profit making new records. Lily Allen said that Lily Allen has no plans to make another album and Lily Allen is not renewing her record contract. She also announced Lily Allen is considering a career in acting.

![In July 1995, The Chemical Brothers released their debut album Exit Planet Dust (the title inspired by their name change) on Freestyle Dust/Junior Boy's Own. It entered the UK charts at #9 and featured guest vocalist Beth Orton on the song "Alive Alone". It eventually went on to sell over a million copies worldwide. Shortly after its release, The Chemical Brothers signed to Virgin Records, to which they took their own offshoot label, Freestyle Dust. For the Chemical Brothers next single, in September 1995, they again used a guest vocalist, for the release of "Life Is Sweet", featuring their friend Tim Burgess, singer with The Charlatans. It reached #25 in the singles charts. The single was also Select Magazine's Single Of The Month for October. The release included a Daft Punk remix of "Life Is Sweet".
In August 1995, the Chemical Brothers DJ'ed for Oasis at a Sheffield gig. The gig began to backfire when it became apparent that Liam Gallagher didn't seem to like any of the tracks they were spinning. The closest that the Chemical Brothers could come to pleasing him was the Happy Mondays' "Wrote For Luck".[citation needed] Gallagher proceeded to kick the Chemical Brothers off the turntables and procured a friend from The Verve to continue to DJ. He subsequently favoured psychedelic material to the displeasure of the crowd.[citation needed]
Around this period, The Stone Roses asked the Chemical Brothers to remix "Begging You", from their Second Coming album. After beginning work on a remix which they viewed as having potential, the Stone Roses changed their minds and the project was cancelled.[citation needed]
In October 1995, the duo returned to the Heavenly Sunday Social for a second and final run of DJ dates. They then became residents at the Heavenly Social on Saturdays at Turnmills. In November, The Chemical Brothers played the Astoria Theatre in London. At this time the Chems usually used a fusion of "Chemical Beats" and The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" as their encore. During the encore, however, Keith Flint from The Prodigy jumped up on stage to dance, wearing a t-shirt sporting the slogan "Occupation: mad bastard". A few from the crowd subsequently joined in. This resulted in a power cable being kicked loose, bringing the show to a temporary close. The Chemical Brothers confessed to not being too bothered; "because he's Keith from the Prodigy, and he can do whatever the fucking hell he likes" Rowlands said later. Just before Christmas, 1995, they played their biggest gig to date, with The Prodigy, at the Brixton Academy.
In January 1996, Exit Planet Dust went gold. The Chemical Brothers released their first new material in six months on Virgin, the "Loops Of Fury" EP. The four-track release was limited to 20,000 copies, but is now available for digital download. It entered the UK charts at #13. NME described the lead track as "splashing waves of synths across hard-hitting beats". The EP also contained a Dave Clarke remix of "Chemical Beats", and two other new tracks "Get Up On It Like This" and "(The Best Part Of) Breaking Up".
In February 1996, Select Magazine published a list of the 100 best albums of the 1990s thus far. Exit Planet Dust was listed at Number 39. In August 1996, The Chemical Brothers supported Oasis at Knebworth, where 125,000 people attended each of the two shows.

![Wet Wet Wet are a Scottish pop rock band that formed in the 1980s. They scored a number of hits in the British charts and around the world. The band comprises Marti Pellow (vocals), Tommy Cunningham (drums, vocals), Graeme Clark (bass, vocals) and Neil Mitchell (keyboards, vocals). A fifth, unofficial member, Graeme Duffin (lead guitar, vocals), has been with them since 1983.In 1994, Wet Wet Wet had their biggest hit, a cover version of the Troggs single "Love Is All Around", which was a huge international success and spent fifteen weeks atop the British charts. The week before it could have equalled the record for the longest-standing Number 1 single, held by Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", Pellow insisted on its deletion (he was bored with its chart domination and overheard people complaining about it).[6] However, it would have not broken the record. There were still enough copies in the shops, and the song slipped to #2 the week after its deletion. In any event, it remained in the Top 40 for the remainder of the year. "Love Is All Around" was used on the soundtrack to the film Four Weddings and a Funeral. In the official UK best-selling singles list issued in 2002, it was placed 12th. The song also featured on the 1995 album Picture This, their sixth, which also spawned the hit single "Julia Says". The album, although well-received by critics, would ultimately live in the shadow of "Love Is All Around". Wet Wet Wet Soundwaves Art](/uploads/images_categories/403.jpg)
